Ms. Milnamow (how do you spell her name? i wonder) instead of saying Van Gogh, she said "Van Goth". not once, but repeatedly. she claims she's a huge fan of impressionism but how can she be a fan if she can't even say his name right!?!?!?!
and she doesn't have an accent.
and then she says he was depressed.
really?
hmmm after all, when a painter cuts of his ear and gives it to a prostitute so she won't leave, goes in and out of insane aslyums throughout his later years and then finally commits suicide.... wouldn't he be a little depressed?
talk about understating the obvious.
