How many millions would you believe are out there in this world who cherish Vincent van Gogh works and how many millions of them that can't even discuss his works of art?

• Pretty close but I still think you're a little High on the (A) answer and a little low on the (b) answer.

• Will re-check, thanks : )
  I know the guy and his works a little bit, maybe not to discuss them on a very high scholarly level but I guess that leaves me out of the second group.

• That point was for your effort and I know you were not trying to be funny. I think.

• No, I am perfectly serious. People today are woefully misinformed or uninformed about art. I think it's a sad state of affairs.

• Maybe less funny than you think, but hopelessly optimistic...

• I believe you are about the closest to the true answer, especially when Vincent himself said that artist themselves were reluctant to discuss what they do to create their own works of art. I do believe he was insinuating that quite a few didn't even know why people were purchasing and enjoying their works of art.

• I would agree with that. As I told you earlier, back in the day I had a lot of art history and symbolism shoved down my throat..now I have largely forgotten the majority of it. I buy paintings based on how they make me feel, and the emotions that they stir within me. That being said, I deplore mass produced art. I enjoy prints of the masters or I paint them myself :)
