Description
Few painters could stroke life onto a canvas more viscerally than Dutchman Vincent van Gogh. His madness, his enigmatic persona and even his cut-off ear draw art lovers to explore his life and works year after year. The lonely, often misunderstood artist confided mostly in his brother, Theo, through hundreds of letters, detailing his struggle to gain recognition as an artist. Actor Leonard Nimoy used these heartfelt letters as the basis for his play "Vincent." The play debuted in March 1981 and has since been a hit. Today, actor Jim Jarrett stars as the slicked-haired van Gogh.
