That’s utter nonsense. At the time of his death he was starting to get critical acclaim from the art world. To say he was a complete unknown is tripe. People like you are responsible for spreading misinformation. Stick to the truth!

As an art student back in 1980, I spent my first summer reading Van Gogh's volumes of letters. It took me 2 months. Ever since then, some 40 years, I have written articles and blogs asking why Johanna Van Gogh has not been given the credit she deserved. Finally that plea has been resolved. It was about time.

Theo needs credit too. He bought the paintings and supported his brother emotionally as well as financially. What Johanna did was take Theo's vision of his brother and hang on to it, believe in it, and run with it. You're totally right about her finally getting the credit she very much deserves.

@@FreeDocumentaryHistory Glad to hear it my good fellow - be prepared for for an emotional rollercoaster. Van Gogh's life was not a party but his suffering was not in vain as millions today share his pain.
I never understood the hype until I saw his painting in person. It’s like a fever dream come to life!

Yes, they are beautiful in reproduction but beyond belief in person.
Excellent documentary. Well done. Now we know who she is and what she did.
Van Gogh is absolutely my favorite artist ❤
Joanna herself was a striking beauty. Very good doc.

Can you imagine Vincent was in France and new all the great artists Henri... extra extra.. And the amazing Gauguin.. And Vincent and his brother were very close... Thank god for Theo's widow and the letters..
Excellent! Thank you for posting.
Thank you for the upload
Thank you.
What a beautiful documentary.
So much precious and priceless art was stolen and luted during WWII. Sad. Thing will never be recovered
Well Theo's wife Joanna probably needed to make money to live. I read all Vincent letters to Theo. He seemed very self centered and constantly wanting.... and it must have been exhausting for Theo. Such a gd brother. Great doco!
my personal opinion is that it is so unfair for such a great artist not to get a chance to taste the success of his own great work
Johanna Bonger knew Vincent was different, she had in her possession his writings on his abilities and discoveries likewise. Mythology’s grip on Vincent is to change as the childhood “Epilepsy” Vincent battled was to dictate his life. Some letters have not been in the public realm at Vincent’s request because he visualized the future. .
I went to visit Van Gogh's and Theo's resting place i Auvers. Gave me a special feeling to have visit the grave of one of my favorite artists.
I have a friend that is always in mind when I try to imagine Vincent's personality. He's extremely difficult and drinks entirely too much, the difference between the two being Van Gogh's self-driven creativity.
Good evening everyone
THICK YOU FOR THE BOOK, DAD!!!
The “Myth” continues. Nothing remains the same……..

It's not "Goff" either. It's distinctively dutch. More like Ch-o-ch, like the J in spanish José.
Typical of the hypocrisies and snobbery of the art world that paintings once considered worthless, painted by a madman, are now worth millions.
Raiders of the lost art? What's the tie in to Vincent? His art was never lost.

I think that’s the German accent. I believe it is more “properly” pronounced Van Go.

@@goilo888 … actually this is the English pronunciation. A German would not say it that way, since the spelling suggests a throaty sound to the German reader; not an F; Though I believe that nobody who wasn’t born and raised in the Netherlands would be able to pronounce it correctly to be honest.

Simply untrue. The dutch G is also found in german, swiss german, austrian and even the spanish J as in José is quite the same sound.
Art experts can't seem to agree how to pronounce Van Gogh. "Van Goff" and "Van Gock" and "Van Go" are all spoken here. For what it's worth, in another documentary a family heir pronounces it "Van Go."

It is confusing!
Conspiracy theory. She was an aspiring artist who painted most of them and used his name after he died.
Van Gogh would vomit if he knew what his work was selling for and how many millions of people could be raised out of poverty for the same amount.

To be clear : Theo was Vincents agent and only sold 1 paintings of his in his entire life!.... ( Vincents paintings were hidden in a back room ) No. Theo was wildly jealous of his 'poor' brother regardless of the prose he wrote. This is how the world really works.

Not everyone talking here is a van Gogh expert....Terribly bad acting,which is completely unnecessary. And always the wrong photo of him as a youngster,everybody should know that it is Theo,a handsome fellow,compared to Vincent,who kept on wanting more money from his brother,so it's a good thing that Johanna made some money of his legacy. And her maiden name was BONGER,not BONGA!
Shouldn't have made the actors speak English. They were Dutch people, not English.
