He didn't belittle those artists. I suspect you didn't read the entire article. His point is that 19th century classical painters are the ones who have been especially demonized.
Renoir, Van Gough and Monet are accepted only because they paved the way for post modernism.

That's not Van Gogh, that's IIRC Millet's "The Gleaners". (I haven't checked).
Anyhow, no matter who it is, it couldn't be Van Gogh. He was essentially self-taught, and his paint handling was always much rougher.
