As well, Van Gogh excelled in the very last portion of his career (end game?)

A search for music and Van Gogh pointed me towards Beethoven. His career is often divided into 3 parts.

I'm thinking a game with 3 distinct game modes rather than the two that we usually see.
Possibly an auton
A tele-op where a piece is "never given up"
and then a tele-op where the opposite is done.

That was incredibly well thought out, but i think you completely diverged from the "essence" of the hint. I'm only saying this because I want us all to discover (as close as we can) the meaning of this hint.

You took a picture that was on the background of one of NASA's mission pages (which was found by analyzing the first tiny piece of the long string of numbers), and then found the artist, and then went on into more specific and seemingly random relationships regarding the artist.

EDIT: Sorry if this sounds harsh, it's late at night and in checking this thread I have been let down by the near-complete halt of progress we have made since the 5th page.
