Upon Gauguin’s death, his nemesis in Atuona, Bishop Martin, wrote to his superiors in France: "The only noteworthy event here has been the sudden death of a contemptible individual named Gauguin, a reputed artist but an enemy of God and everything that is decent."

I watched a short feature about the making of the film "A Lust for Life" about the life of Vincent Van Gogh. It was startling to hear that they made the film only 50 or 60 years after Van Gogh died.
