Are we sure about number 5? I thought Still life referred to fruit and
stuff - living things that weren't moving.
18 is Abstract Art - see http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/art

could send in the asnwer still life and see if it's correct.

He sold only one painting during his lifetime (Red Vineyard at Arles;
Pushkin Museum, Moscow),
http://www.vangoghgallery.com/misc/faq.htm says
Q8 I've heard that Vincent only sold one work in his lifetime. Which
one?
A8 It's a popular story that the only work Vincent van Gogh sold in
his lifetime was The Red Vineyard (now in the Pushkin Museum in
Moscow). The De la Faille catalogue raisonné (1970, page 221) says
that The Red Vineyard was purchased by Miss Anna Boch for 350-400
francs.
Still, there is some evidence that Vincent sold more than one work
during his lifetime and this is discussed in the On-line Forum
section.
Google shows more votes for "one, if you search on
"van gogh" sold lifetime

I suppose "one" can sound like "none", if you only have one ear.

Vincent: "Eh?"
Homme: "I'd like to buy one of your paintings?"
Vincent: "Qu'es-ce que c'est?"
Homme: <Shouting> "I said... I'd like to buy one of your paintings!"
Vincent: <sadly>"Non, rien personne achete mon objets' d'art."
Homme: <Shouting> "I said... I'd like to-"
Mrs. Homme: "Oh, forget it George, lets get one of those nice "I've been to Provence" ashtrays from the gift shop instead!"
