Chris Brown portrait by van Gogh

Christopher Maurice Brown was born May 5, 1989. One of two children, he was raised in the small town of Tappahannock, Virginia, son of Joyce Hawkins and Clinton Brown. Brown was influenced by the artists his parents played, such as Michael Jackson and Sam Cooke.

Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist artist. His paintings include some of the world’s best known and most expensive pieces.

Van Gogh cut off the lobe of his left ear during a seizure on 24 December 1888. Brown recently stated: “I am still going to keep it so my younger fans can continue to listen to my music, but I got a couple of joints on there that’s for some of the older people.” Van Gogh’s Portrait of Dr. Gachet was sold for 82.5 million US dollars. It’s current whereabouts are unknown. Chris’s second studio album, Exclusive, sold nearly 300,000 copies in its first week domestically, 140,000 copies more than his debut album.
