Everyone Loves Van Gogh
Van Gogh is apparently the world's most popular painter.
MOMA is hosting a new Van Gogh exhibit this September, called Van Gogh and the Colors of the Night.
For art lovers and Van Gogh afficianados, this show is sure to be a welcome fall event.
Van Gogh's universal appeal is all the more touching considering he was a pauper during his lifetime and never achieved financial security, let alone riches. His story is one of those that makes you shake your head in disbelief and at the same time gives confidence to artists of all types struggling to make their way amidst uncertainty and anonymity.
