Vincent Willem van Gogh is a great Dutch pajye.aiter.In 2017 one of his paintings was sold for ﹩ 81 million.2021 seemed to be Vincent Willem van Gogh's year.There were at least five different exhibits in nearly 40 U.S.jye.ai regarding his works.It's very surprising to know he sold only a few paintings in his lifetime，for only little profit（利潤）.How did this now-famous painter fail to escape attention after his death？It was probably thanks to a woman.
   Six months after Van Gogh died，his beloved brother Theo passed away，who had expected to make his brother's works well-known.Fortunately，Theo's wife Johanna van Gogh-Bonge，as an English teacher at two different girls' schools before her marriage，was left with their son and a sizable art collection.She decided to help Theo's wishes come true. "During her lifetime，she devoted herself to raising awareness of Vincent's art and letters，" says Luijten，the author of Johanna's lifetime story.
   Johanna tried all her best to improve Van Gogh's name.To do this，she chose some of his works to sell and encouraged writers and art critics to write about his paintings though she was refused many times.Johanna didn't lose heart.She lent some pieces to well-known museums and organized countless exhibitions and sales. "One of Johanna's major achievements was the organization of an exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in 1905，where she collected no less than 484 of Van Gogh's works.A Van Gogh exhibition of this size would never again be matched，" Luijten explains.Another particular move happened in 1914 when Johanna published Van Gogh's letters.Theo had kept hundreds of letters. "This was of great importance，as following the publication of the letters，the appreciation of Van Gogh as an artist increased further，" says Luijten.
   "There's little doubt that although Van Gogh was great，he wouldn't be remembered to the level seen today without the influence of Johanna." said Luijten.
