If you like mysteries, The Van Gogh Conspiracy program prepared by Sandra Hudson is for you. Vincent van Gogh sold only one painting during his lifetime, and yet, within a decade of his death, he was perhaps the most acclaimed artist of his generation. How could that happen? Sandra offers a conspiracy theory. Her research shows that many commonly held beliefs about Vincent's life are false, or at best half-truths. Guaranteed, you will come away with a new perspective.
