That's not at all a logically consistent argument. His art might have been better without the colorblindness. Or it might have just merely been different, but equally well-celebrated.
Regardless, you can't make decisions based on extremely unknowable hypothetical futures. If Van Gogh hadn't created any art at all, the world would still turn, and no one would know the difference. It's natural to imagine a world without Van Gogh's art with sadness when you already have his art; but had it never existed, no one would be around to care.
