Now Playing: Van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh would have turned 150 this year and his personal trials are just as famous as his art. His rejection in his own time, his psychological struggles…his cutting off his own ear. But an exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam asks us to rethink Van Gogh, and what we know about it. Produced by Emily Hoffman.
