9. Most of Van Gogh’s Work Was Thrown Out
During his lifetime, very few people thought that of Van Gogh as a great artist. In fact, most people threw away the majority of his drawings, paintings, and any other artwork. Van Gogh would sometimes give away his artwork, which would be thrown away by the receivers. Even Van Gogh’s mother threw most of the drawings she received from her son. The painter himself is known to have thrown a lot of his work away. No one thought his work would ever amount to anything, even after his death.
