Why Van Gogh Failed During His Lifetime

Описание: Vincent van Gogh is one of the most famous artists in history — yet during his lifetime, he was ignored, broke, and convinced he had failed. His story is not just tragic; it reveals how genius can go unseen when it arrives too early.

In this video, we explore the life, artistic evolution, and inner struggles of Vincent van Gogh, moving beyond the myths of madness and the infamous cut ear to uncover the real cost of creativity. From his lonely childhood and repeated career failures to the creation of masterpieces like The Starry Night, this video explains why Van Gogh was never recognized while alive — and how his suffering forever changed modern art.

Through art analysis, historical context, and emotional storytelling, we examine:
• Why Van Gogh sold only one painting during his lifetime
• The truth behind his mental health struggles
• How his revolutionary style shaped post-impressionism and expressionism
• Why his genius was understood only after his death

This is not just a biography of a famous painter.
It is a reflection on creativity, isolation, mental health, and the price of seeing the world differently.

By understanding Van Gogh’s life and art, we gain insight into how society treats unconventional minds — and why true artistic innovation is often rejected before it is celebrated.
