If Van Gogh Hadn't Been Recognised As A Great Artist..

And his paintings ended up in junk shops, and you came across one, would you have bought it?
There's a painting of a bar with welcoming yellow lights under a starry sky.
I would have bought that.

This one ? Yes.

Probably not but then I wouldn't buy paintings by many great artists, not to my taste at all, I'm afraid. I like a lovely, detailed water colour like my dad, aunt and brother paint.

[Peter Pedant]

well that would have been easy - -- he never sold ( nor did his brother agent, Modeste) a canvas....

not sure what happened after his death - some art lover will know

[Geoffrey13]

roopower - do they make a living out of it ? - Van Gogh didn't during his lifetime LOL.

[Peter Pedant]

bagga - never sold a canvas when he was alive
oh, he gave a few away ( would you count an ear as a work of art, anyway he tried to give his ( ear) to a local madam)

[Peter Pedant]

geoffrey probably will tell us?

were you being saucy and chose Van Gogh because you KNEW that he didnt sell well during his life?

[Peter Pedant]

mad he was
compared to him I just dont score

Perhaps Santa will bring you a case of absinthe for Christmas and you can play catch up.
