The only reason you know Vincent Van Gogh’s artwork is because his sister-in-law, a woman named Johanna Bonger protected and exhibited his art.

The only person who ever bought one of Van Gogh’s art while he was living was also a woman, an impressionist artist named Anna Boch.

this is one of hers: Die Wasserträgerin

she bought this painting:

Red Vineyard at Arles
