I’m very fascinated with the reality from his self-portraits; especially as he got older.

We immensely love this channel, because of ART matters in any society.

Note to self... never feel sorry for someone whom is richer than you. Sad he ended up broke. So sad.

[thedistinguished]

Im trying to learn something from this but there isnt much objective information

Un gran dibujante y pintor que vivió rico y murió pobre.

[svenhurdurburdursson]
