DetroitVincent van Gogh (1853-1890) had been dead for 32 years before any American museum bought a painting by him. While he was famously (if exaggeratedly) unsuccessful in life, by then Europe had long since embraced him.

And when in 1921 the Metropolitan Museum of Art presented “A Loan Exhibition of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist Paintings,” including seven Van Gogh loans, it was condemned by many as degenerate art.
