you pretentious idiot
van gogh repeatedly tried to sell art, and ending up giving away paintings to satisfy an extremely large bar tab...
his doing it for the love of it, caused him to die pennyless and alone thinking the world thought he was rubbish....
he would have been overjoyed to have sold a painting for a large sum...
he did it for the love it, because no one would pay him...read his letters to his brother...it tortured him inside.
