About This Quote
Art is a magnificent thing. It’s made of the most beautiful of things, it’s inspired by the most beautiful of things, and, in the end, it is its ability to move us that sets it apart from all other things. The passage above refers to the tragic loss of painter Vincent van Gogh. He died penniless at age 37.
He never got to see his art appreciated by the world. His work was lost to time and forgotten by everyone except his sister.
