Claude Monet

A French landscape painter, Monet (1840-1926) is credited with helping found impressionism.

Van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh. A postimpressionist, van Gogh (1853-1890) only sold one painting during his lifetime. Mentally ill for most of his short life, he cut off his ear during a fit of dementia, and painted some of his best works (including Sunflowers and Night Café) during these episodes. He shot himself after spending three months in a mental institution, too full of despair to go on.
