I Could Have Told You Vincent

Van Gogh sold few paintings in his life-time, & he died a poor & distraught man. Vincent could hardly have imagined that 117 years after his death, ten major American Art Museums would proudly display his work. I noticed this article on MSN. It's a slide-show sampling of Van Gogh's work in America. He has always been one of my favorite artists, despite his gruffness... Here's the link to see all the paintings.

Aside: Can you imagine, that when I happened to visit Amsterdam, the Van Gogh Museum was closed for repairs???!!! I missed my hero!
