Van Gogh is the famous painter who almost cut off his ear (it was only the lobe). He produced all of his work (some 900 paintings and 1100 drawings) during the ten year period before he committed suicide. Most of his best known work was produced in the final two years of his life, and in two months before his death he painted 90 pictures. Van Gogh was a real geek, his state of mind was not helped by overwork, bad dietary habits and reliance on tobacco, coffee and alcohol. Some agency Duval Guillaume Brussels was very well aware of Van Gogh’s devotion to coffee and put together this ad for the Cafe of the Van Gogh Museum. I think it’s incredibly accurate :)
