Be the next Van Gogh!!

I found this advertisement intriguing. It was in the MAR 2012 issue of HOW magazine. It is a two page spread regarding inspiration of Van Gogh.
Then, in the second page it says...

I think that the approach is ingenious. First... to the student of graphic design, who is discovering the inspirations behind the historical greats, it is speaking to what might be necessary to come up with your next ideas. Next, it is eluding to a current day solution that obviously wasn't available then. So, if Van Gogh had the opportunities that you have today, why then can't you too be a genius? All you have to do is go to feast.istockphoto.com.   Apparently, it's an inspiration smorgasbord.  I really like the artistic strokes beneath the obviously new and contemporary clean lines of the newer script bold font.  The message is clear. Use our photo database, ... buy our photos,.... and be a genius! Very simple. Very direct. Very well done.
