Van Gogh Museum showcases kindred Canadian-Chinese artist Matthew Wong

A Canadian-Chinese painter whose expressive brush strokes, vivid colours and troubled life drew comparisons with Van Gogh stars in a new show at the Amsterdam museum named after the Dutch genius.

Painting As A Last Resort at the Van Gogh Museum is Europe's first look at more than 60 works of Matthew Wong, whose intense output and style put him "on the cusp of fame" before he died at his own hand in 2019.
