    When Van Gogh died 1890, he was a complete unknown, his paintings fetching under 10 dollars. So how did his works become some of the most revered and expensive in the world? His sister-in-law Johanna is to thank for that.

      That’s utter nonsense. At the time of his death he was starting to get critical acclaim from the art world. To say he was a complete unknown is tripe. People like you are responsible for spreading misinformation. Stick to the truth!

    As an art student back in 1980, I spent my first summer reading Van Gogh's volumes of letters. It took me 2 months. Ever since then, some 40 years, I have written articles and blogs asking why Johanna Van Gogh has not been given the credit she deserved. Finally that plea has been resolved. It was about time.

    • @StefanMedici
      @StefanMedici 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Theo needs credit too. He bought the paintings and supported his brother emotionally as well as financially. What Johanna did was take Theo's vision of his brother and hang on to it, believe in it, and run with it. You're totally right about her finally getting the credit she very much deserves.

    Johanna Bonger knew Vincent was different, she had in her possession his writings on his abilities and discoveries likewise. Mythology’s grip on Vincent is to
    change as the childhood “Epilepsy” Vincent battled was to dictate his life. Some letters have not been in the public realm at Vincent’s request because he visualized the future. .

      @@goilo888 … actually this is the English pronunciation. A German would not say it that way, since the spelling suggests a throaty sound to the German reader; not an F; Though I believe that nobody who wasn’t born and raised in the Netherlands would be able to pronounce it correctly to be honest.
