I'm not really sure how insanity- something a person has no choice over and may live a normal life in spite of- and a dubious act perpetrated by an adult who is fully knowledgeable of what he's doing, are in any way comparable.
I think Van Gogh's work is MORE of a masterpiece, considering the talent he was able to cultivate and harness despite the hurdles he undoubtedly had to overcome.
