What challenges did Vincent Van Gogh have?

Vincent Van Gogh faced challenges like: thinking he was a bother to his brother, cutting his ear off, and surviving bleeding to death for 2 whole dies before eve tually dieing. A bit of additional information worth considering: Mr. Van Gogh`s biggest challenge as an artist was an arguable lack of talent, especially when compared to many of his contemporaries. In the eyes of many, his art from beginning to end showed an amateurish quality typical of many beginning painters and of schoolchildren, with his fame based more on his ill fated association with his roommate, Paul Gauguin, and the greatly exaggerated self-mutilation as a result of this attempted relationship. Even "gay Paree", in those days, did not openly accept gay realtionships between men. In any case, Mr. Van Gogh's ultimate challenge was the pschosis that developed from these challenges (his inability to match up to his contemporaries, and his attraction to Mr. Gauguin), resulting in his suicidal death at the age of 37. Today, he would likely have faired better - at least in love, if not in art.

Why do artist become famous after their death?

Often the reason for an artist's fame after their death is simply due to what collectors are looking for at the time, and this is always changing. Other artists are ahead of their time and it is only after time has passed that the greatness is recognized. Another problem is how to define fame or success. If an artist has a painting hanging in MoMA, for example, is the artist famous even if the painting is not well known? Very few artists actually become famous once they've died. Van Gogh is possibly the most well-known example. However, many (if not most) artists never reach success even after their death.
