Douglas was born in Los Angeles, California. His middle name was given him in homage to Vincent van Gogh, whom his father was playing in the film "Lust for Life" (1956) when he was born. He used it for his production company, Vincent Pictures. Peter Douglas' television production credits include "Inherit the Wind" (1988), for which he won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama or Comedy Special, and
Vincent van Gogh excited André Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck, and contributed to the emergence of Fauvism. Important group exhibitions took place with the Sonderbund artists in Cologne in 1912, the Armory Show, New York in 1913, and Berlin in 1914. Henk Bremmer was instrumental in teaching and talking about Van Gogh, and introduced Helene Kröller-Müller to Van Gogh's art; she became an avid collector of his work. The early figures in German Expressionism such as Emil Nolde acknowledged a debt to Van Gogh's work. Bremmer assisted Jacob Baart de la Faille, whose "catalogue raisonné" "L'Oeuvre de Vincent van Gogh" appeared in 1928.
