Can see why there was a dispute whether it was a Van Gogh. Bit different to what he would paint in 2 years.

This is also a Vincent Van Gogh. It hangs in his museum.

It's not a Ross, though.

Also, if it's a Van Gogh, why did he sign it "Reuters"?

“Experts” are likely to overstate their expertise, given that it’s what earns them a living.

Can there be higher praise than being “mocked by the art world?”

Can't argue with the Classics.

Sometimes, with ‘modern’ art (which can be more than a hundred years old), you have to see the originals. Albers’ “Homage to the Square” paintings don’t look like much in reproduction, but the originals just kind of hang there in midair and glow. There’s no comparison.
