Many think that Van Gogh only sold one work. That might be true. But I would like to put out there my thoughts on the subject. Vincent did actually sell many works to his brother Theo who worked for a gallery and was a collector of fine art. Theo Van Gogh was indeed Vincent’s biggest patron. He helped Vincent by giving him supplies, food, rent money, love and yes money for his work. This is an exchange of goods for money that benefitted Vincent and could have benefitted Theo as well. If Vincent and Theo were not cut down in the prime of their lives who knows how Vincent’s art and Theo’s collection of it would have impacted the world. Probably, in ways neither could have imagined.

About Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent Willem van Gogh; [note 1] (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work had far-reaching influence on 20th-century art. His paintings include portraits, self portraits, landscapes, still lifes of cypresses, wheat fields and sunflowers. Van Gogh was born to upper middle class parents and spent his early adulthood working for a firm of art dealers before traveling to The Hague, London and Paris, after which he taught in England at Isleworth and Ramsgate. He drew as a child but did not paint until his late twenties; most of his best-known works were completed during the last two years of his life...
