> He was also, quite frankly, very poorly gifted as an artist. Doubt me? Check out this drawing done when he was 27 (my 19 yo students can draw better)

Come on. While your students might be able to draw better than Vincent, they are very very likely not even close to being able to create the incredible art he has made.

If you haven't been to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, you should go and compare against your students' work (or, against many many artists, for that matter).

I agree. That is actually the point I was making... differentiating Being a capable painter/draftsman from being a capable artist.

Check out Mary Casset... A great technician but a meh artist compared to Renoir who had a tenth the skill but ten times the soul.
