How Vincent van Gogh Became Famous (Hybrid)

Vincent van Gogh is often regarded as one of the most famous artists in the Western world, a stature heightened by the myth of the “unknown starving artist” whose genius was recognized only after his death. Art historian Sandra Krohnert explains how this narrative is actually an anomaly that only finds truth in Van Gogh’s true story. His posthumous fame was not accidental, but it was the result of the efforts of someone who he never met, his sister-in-law Jo van Gogh-Bonger.
