Genius and Madness of Van Gogh

van Gogh did not have to sign his work, it is immediately recognizable he had a petulance for utilizing emphatic pointillistic brush strokes van Gogh danced to his own flute, giving away all of his worldly goods “they think I am a mad man because I wanted to be a true Christian”. He had an up and down life, but his downs were deeper than most. His paintings, signed Vincent, exhibit a madness that exudes a rare brilliance. He was an artist who threw his feelings into every canvas he painted. An artist who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, unfortunately.
