Bright Stars: Great Artists Who Died Too Young

Many renowned artists died before the age of forty, yet their short lives left lasting legacies. This exploration examines how these artists, including Vincent van Gogh, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and others, created profound works despite limited time. It also highlights those whose premature deaths, often compounded by gender or racial injustice, led to their exclusion from history, such as Amrita Sher-Gil and Charlotte Salomon. Some artists, like Caravaggio and Vermeer, only gained recognition long after their deaths. This celebrates their incredible talents and re-evaluates their contributions, offering a deeper understanding of how their legacies continue to inspire.
