Best Answer

Because he had created a new style of painting: Expressionism. The people of the time were unable to appreciate the artistic developments that he had pioneered. The only painting he sold was to his friend and physician Dr. Gachet for a small sum of 400 francs (equivalent to $1,000-1500 today)
