A Van Gogh sells for one hundred and thirty-nine million, a Picasso sells for one hundred and six million, a Titian (who?) sells for seventy million, what pray tell is going on here? The one thing an outsider (us that are un-cultured in art, possibly even uncouth) know is that the common link between these very famous artists is that they are all kinda weird, most died broke; some were purported geniuses, but died broke non-the-less--many suffered horribly for their art, and now strangers with deep pockets pay fortunes for their work.
