An artist by the name of Vincent van Gogh has produced more than 2,100 art works. He was a very talented artist that is known in this day and age. One of his first pieces was “The Potato Eaters”.

Only one piece of his art was sold while he was alive, but still did not give up. His art is all around the world in museums, which could help artists, get a view of how his art was created.

He helped develop art in a completely new way at such a young age, which has helped his art become prominent. Many artists look up to him and are influenced. Even though his art is old, artists still apply his ways to their art today. This helps them improve and create different ideas that could have an Impact on future art and artists.

An artist who helped get himself out there with his state of health should be much
