20. Vincent van Gogh

I was lucky enough to catch a Van Gogh exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum many years ago where they had The Café Terrace on the Place du Forum, Arles, at Night on display. I figure I can't have an art blog and not feature one of the most skilled and ingenious artists of all time. The colors and impressions made are rich, expressive, and gorgeous.
