Still, fame eluded him. This lack of recognition over a career spanning a mere decade (from ages twenty-seven to thirty-seven) fueled his lifelong self-doubt and bitter disappointments. Today, however, van Gogh's paintings are recognized as masterpieces, and the tormented Dutchman stands as a giant among artists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVincent Van Gogh: Portrait of An Artist\u003c\/i\u003e has been selected as a Common Core State Standards Text Exemplar (Grades 6–8, Historical\/Social Studies) in Appendix B.
