What type of artist was Vincent van gogh?

Vincent was an artist who understood the masters and what they had actually done to make and produce their works of art. Therefore he was able to produce and to create a production that would amaze his superiors and one time art colleagues to no end. These supposed MFA experts who had made art their own business were as blind as Rembrandt had depicted this donkey eared MFA expert in his drawing of satire against art expertise.
