I like this collection because of how much there is to see. Van Gogh was more prolific than I had somehow imagined. There are different kinds of artists, and one kind (that I identify with) does it because of some semi-compulsion. It's not "oh, I think I'll do some art today, wouldn't that be nice?" but rather "I _need_ to make something; I will not feel right until I do. Where's my paint?" These are the ones who would keep producing even if nobody ever saw their work. I guess that jives with my understanding of Van Gogh's history. Not a commercial success, not sought-after. But he did it anyway.
