14. Van Gogh Didn’t Like The Starry Night
Even though The Starry Night became the painting that Van Gogh is most known for, he felt that the art was horrible. His reasons for this are unknown. However, people do know that he did not keep the paintings with the ones he often shared with other people or took to art shows. In fact, in writing about this painting, Van Gogh stated it was a failure: “I have been slaving away on nature the whole year… And yet, once again, I let myself go reaching for stars that are too big – a new failure …”
