Van Gogh's unique life has inspired millions to become active in art. He lived more than 115 years ago, and yet his artwork

is still altering the way mankind views beauty, persona, individuality, and style of art. His thousands of paintings and drawings have various characteristics that have been copied

by thousands and duplicated by none. Perhaps the most impressive aspect is that artists continue to mimic the style

that Van Gogh created over one hundred years ago.
