What's the saying about learning the rules and then learning how to break them?

While not as stark a difference as Picasso I think Van Gogh is another good example of this, looking at some of his earlier works he was clearly a competent artist, but he really came into his own style later on.

There's some discussion that the weird morphing of his style was caused by undiagnosed mental illness progressing to advanced stages when he got older.

Could have also been the lead and vermillion (mercury) in the paints.

When I look at this, all I can think about is that that guy went on an LSD binge in his early 20s.

Wasn't that about Van Gogh's vision?

"It took...but a lifetime to paint like a child"
