The MoJo Guide to Van Gogh

0/5 ( ratings)

Vincent Van Gogh – one of the greatest names in art to ever hold a brush. His works sell for unbelievable records, they adorn a million tea-towels and coffee mugs.

His ʻSunflowers' is one of the most recognised images in the world. Even Kirk Douglas' chin got to waggle on his behalf in the movies!

Yet, so many think of him as a mad man. Was he mad? Why did he chop his ear off? How come he struggled to sell just a single painting in his lifetime?

Come with us as we unpack the real story, dispel some of the myths and rumors and clarify some important things. Wander with us back through the fields of late 19th Century Holland, the bustling boulevards of Paris and the warm rustic lavender fields of Provence and meet the man himself; the true legend, a hero for his cause, an honest man fighting for his beliefs, tormented by the desire to capture life as he saw it.
