À propos de l’auteur

Born on May 30, 1853 in the south of The Netherlands, Vincent van Gogh was the oldest child of a Dutch Reformed pastor and an amateur artist. Intense and moody from an early age, he received public, private and home schooling before dropping out at the age of 15 to assist with the family finances. With the help of an uncle, young Vincent got a job as an apprentice at the internationally renowned art firm of Goupil and Cie. After a clerkship in The Hague, he was promoted to sales representative, working successively in the London and Paris offices. Although initially happy, van Gogh's argumentative personality and strong opinions about all things artistic and religious eventually led to his dismissal. After a series of short-term jobs as a teacher and bookstore clerk, Vincent decided to follow in his father's and grandfather's footsteps and pursue the ministry. Although he took preparatory courses in Latin, Greek and Theology, he failed to gain entrance to the university. Undeterred, he sought opportunities to teach and preach as a part-time evangelist in the coal-mining district of Belgium. So fervent was his commitment to his work that he insisted on living under the same deplorable conditions as the miners-giving away much of his money, clothes and food. After six months, the local church hierarchy, who seemed as alarmed by his zeal as by his declining physical and mental health, urged him to consider another calling. During this period, van Gogh had begun sketching the local peasants, and with his brother, Theo's, assistance decided to pursue art full time. Eschewing formal art education, van Gogh was largely self-taught, but over the course of a 10 year career he amassed a body of work that includes 864 oil paintings, 1,039 drawings, 150 water colors, 10 lithographs and 133 letter sketches, many of which are considered to be among the world's great masterpieces, several selling in excess of $100 Million USD.

In the '00s he co-founded a fully-accredited artists' colony on the Island of Martha's Vineyard, MA where he and the staff mentored more than 1,000 college-aged musicians and entrepreneurs. Willett was Adjunct Professor at the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business for Nashville's Belmont University before becoming Music Business Instructor, Director of Education and finally President at Dark Horse Institute. He currently entertains fantasies of a restless retirement in Montmartre-on-the-Cumberland, Tennessee.
