... Now in order to get some clients for portraits, one must be able to show different ones that one has done. That is the only possibility I see of selling anything.

Vincent van Gogh -
Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist artist. He was a pioneer of Expressionism with enormous influence on 20th century art, especially on the Fauves and German Expressionists. Some of his paintings are now among the world's best known, most popular and expensive works of art.
Van Gogh spent his early adult life working for a firm of art dealers. After a brief period as a teacher, he became a missionary worker in a very poor mining region. He did not begin his career as an artist until he was about 27; however during the last ten years of his life, he produced more than 2,000 pieces, including around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches. He worked only with sombre colours until he encountered Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism in Paris. Van Gogh incorporated their brighter colours and style of painting into a uniquely recognizable style, which he had fully developed by the time he spent at Arles, France. Most of his best-known works were produced during his final two years, amid the recurrent bouts of mental illness which led to his eventual suicide at the age of 37.
A central figure in Van Gogh's life was his brother Theo, who continually and selflessly provided financial support. Their lifelong friendship is documented in numerous letters they exchanged from August 1872 onwards.
Letters:
Much of what is known about van Gogh is derived from his letters, most of which were written by Vincent to his brother, Theo. More than 600 letters from Vincent to Theo and 40 letters from Theo to Vincent survive today, and although many of them are undated, art historians have been able to arrange these correspondences largely chronologically. This serves as the largest, and most valuable, collection of primary textual sources that lay the foundation for what is known about the van Gogh brothers.[153]
The period of van Gogh's life that is the most obscure, the Paris period, is the most difficult for art historians to examine because Theo and Vincent were living together, and thus had no need to correspond with letters, leaving little or no historical record of this time.[154]
