how to say "van Gogh"

Q11 How do you pronounce the name "Van Gogh"?
A11 The pronunciation--it's difficult to put into words. The "Van" is a bit like "Fen" with the V sounding like a half V and half F. The "a" isn't quite like a short "e", but it's softer than North Americans pronounce it.
The Gogh--it's tricky. The first G sounds a bit like a guttural H, the "o" sound stays the same pretty much the same (but not as harsh sounding as the "o" in "go") and the final GH is sort of like a guttural CH, like in the name Johann Sebastian Bach.
Короче, фон Гох, где "г" фрикативно, как в украинском.

а потому категорически против "как в украинском" - это больше на валлийское / галльское гортанное "гх" похоже
