What a tragedy for the art world that even with all that praise and money he could not find the light he needed in this world, to stay with us. As with Van Gogh, his works express something universal to humanity, the struggle to understand our world, hope and heartbreaking loneliness in a world full of people. Thank you for highlighting the genius of this man.

Couldn’t agree more. All the works he produced in the last two years of his life are incredible. If he only lived longer…

I’m stunned by his creations, sublime and beautiful. I wasn’t expecting the conclusion though, I’m in tears, such a tragedy, a wonderful and visionary human being, the world is a lesser place without him and his art.

It is so tragic! He was able to create such incredible art in just six years. We can only imagine what he could have done had he lived longer.

A beautiful biography; his art resonates with me. It is beyond tragic that he is no longer here making beautiful things. Thank you so much.

Wow, just when I thought he was going to have this victory in his life 💥 he offs himself. Really really tragic. What a shame he gave in to the darkness. It’s said that when you’re ready to give up you’re three feet from gold. Apparently not even when he got the gold it didn’t help.

Few months ago he had an exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum.

Yes, I wish I were there. His work is currently exhibited in the Kunsthaus Zürich. I'm seriously considering going.
