Actually, EVERY famous artist you see in a book or learn about in school is only famous because their work was supported by Freemasons or other Secret Societies. A lot of things about these artists, including Van Gogh "cutting off his ear" are totally made up. There is a conspiracy against me on Steemit and has been since I called out the "Whales" on their bullshit with the changes to the blockchain that made them richer and life more difficult for the "cryptopoor". Since then, anytime I am the first to upvote and comment on an new artist's post, within 5 seconds they will have 100's of votes with a good payout, with 0 clout on this platform, as if I am being followed. My dude was a certified detective at one point in his life so, this shit isn't too hard to figure out. Since you talk so much about how "great" this artist is, I will now take the time to see for myself. How much do you wanna bet I see exactly what I expect to see? Not that I care anymore, all art is technically worthless anyway, as art isn't scarce at all. It is so abundant that it has lost all value. Unless you are the idiot who put his ping-pong ball table onto the wall and sold it for 45 Million. :p
