He was always reaching out to humanity. After being cast away from his missionary work in the mining camps, he was penniless and felt that his faith had been destroyed. This was one of his darkest times, but it was also when he decided to become an artist full time. He wanted to "Give the wretched a brotherly message". "When I sign [my painting[ 'Vincent,' it is as one of them." He was trying to make a connection with humanity, but was yet again, rejected. It was only years after his death that his talent was recognized, and he was finally accepted.
