Maya Lin vs. Vincent Van Gogh

Maya Lin and Vincent Van Gogh are both artists, however very different people and personalities. Maya grew up living with art and studied art at Yale wanting to be an architect. Architecture has somewhat of an art. They draw and make the buildings we see and live. Where in Van Gogh didn't have an interest in art until the age of 27 and he only had 10 more years to live. Also he moved to Paris to learn about art and became aware of the new art movement with light and colors. I believe Van Gigh didn't live a pleasent life, living in a life of knowing when he will die. Later on in his life he cuts off one of his ear because of an argument with an artist. Then later committing suicide by shooting himself to death. I believe he was only close to his brother, however no love from his family. On the other hand Maya Lin seemed very close to all her family and had much support from her family. On the picture of the book her picture he is happy and smiling. Van Gogh's self-portrait looks sad since he was drawing himself and hiding his right ear he cut. Maya and Van Gogh at different times of course Van Gogh's time was very hard, but I'm glad his name still is known.
