To me, Van Gogh is the finest painter in the world. Certainly, the most popular great painter of all time, the most beloved. His command of color, the most magnificent. He transformed the pain in his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world—no one had ever done it before. Perhaps, no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence is not only the world’s greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.
