I started "Great Art Explained" during lockdown. My aim is to make videos which focus on one great artwork. I want to present art in a jargon free, entertaining, clear and concise way with no gimmicks.

Vincent van Gogh was a largely self-taught artist who didn’t pick up a paintbrush until he was 30 years old.

Just seven years later, he would be dead.

It was really his last four years where he developed the style we would come to know him by, and these were also his most prolific years. Once he found his way, he was making up for lost time.
