There is another good one about Vincent: David Olney's 'Vincent's Blues'. You can find it on his 'High, Wide and Lonesome' Philo CD PH 1177. It includes this stanza (actually sung by Rodney Crowell who is duetting with him on the recording):

Oh you can moan about Monet
Get silly 'bout Cezanne
You can rave about Degas
Or go crazy for Gaughin
But if you want to see the blue
Ah Vincent, he's your man

The 5 Chinese Brothers have one about Cezanne. I will type it out later from the lyric sheet.

CDDB has several listings re Monet:
