“Soldier On” is Vincent van Gogh, struggling, fretting, following his unique vision despite all odds, even with chemical imbalances in his tortured brain, the artist marched onward, tirelessly, without reward or acclaim. Vincent pushed forward toward his dream without ever selling a painting, his art new and alive and brilliantly shining today, inspiring thousands of artists around the world. This is “Soldier On.”
