Part of Great Artists - The Post-Impressionists

Brilliant but tormented Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh is profiled through his art, his letters and expert commentary in this engrossing documentary. Famous for his thick, swirling brushstrokes, van Gogh -- the son of a pastor -- battled frequent bouts of madness throughout his short life and committed suicide at age 37. Though he was once the quintessential starving artist, his masterpieces now fetch millions of dollars.
