A good artist - a successful artist?

Pavel, not sure. There is a portrait of Van Gogh wrote Sunflowers Gauguin from nature and yet his work in Arles, including the one that hangs in the Pushkin-it-all nature. In Tahiti it incomprehensible, but without naturshits just not done.
Sunflowers and Gauguin's nothing like the Sunflowers by Van Gogh, although the same. Van Gogh from nature even further from nature than Gauguin.
