I sit down and talk to Pulitzer Prize winning biographer, Steven Naifeh, who co-wrote Van Gogh: The Life and Jackson Pollock: An American Saga, and whose art is featured in galleries around the world. Find out why Van Gogh did not commit suicide, how Pollock's father peeing on a rock, along with his mother's sewing, changed the course of western art, and more!
