Vincent van Gogh (commonly mispelled van Gohg) is considered the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt; van Gogh influenced the current of Expressionism in modern art. Born the 30th March 1853, died the 30th July1869 .
Vincent van Gogh 's work conveys through its striking colour, coarse brushwork, and contoured forms the anguish of a mental illness that eventually resulted in suicide.
From 1881 to 1885 v Gogh lived in the Netherlands, supported by his brother.
In keeping with his humanitarian outlook he painted peasants and workers, the most famous picture from this period .
In 1885 Vincent van Gogh moved to Antwerp and studied for some months at the Academy there. Academic instruction had little to offer such an individualist. In February 1886 Van Gogh moved to Paris, where he met Pissarro, Degas, Gauguin, Seurat, and Toulouse-Lautrec. At this time Van Gogh“s painting underwent a violent metamorphosis under the combined influence of Impressionism and Japanese woodcuts, losing its moralistic flavour of social realism.In 1889 Vincent van Gogh 's brother got married, and in May 1890 the artist moved with him to Auvers-sur-Oise . There followed another tremendous burst of strenuous activity and during the last 70 days of his life he painted 70 canvases. But his spiritual anguish and depression became more acute and on 29 July 1890 he died from the results of a self-inflicted bullet wound.

van Gogh became obsessed by the symbolic and expressive values of colors and began to use them for this purpose rather than, as did the Impressionists, for the reproduction of visual appearances, atmosphere, and light. Violence and brilliance of the canvases painted by post-impressionist Vincent are a quiet reminder of his short and tragic life. Expressive luminosity of color and blotchy brushwork are Vincent 's distinguishing characteristics which made him the model of expressionist painters at the turn of the century. Vincent's interest in art practice was quickened by exposure to the wood engravings of the popular illustrated journals of the day .
Van Gogh went to Arles in 1888, where he painted more than 200 canvases. During this time he did not sell any pictures, Vincent was very poor and suffered recurrent nervous crisis and depression. Vincent had the idea of founding an artists' co-operative at Arles and towards the end of the year he was joined by Gauguin. But as a result of a quarrel between them Vincent suffered the crisis in which occured the famous incident when he cut off his left ear (or part of it).

Many consider Van Gogh's Arles period to be the most creative of his career. Indeed, many of Van Gogh's best known works were produced during his time in this provençal town. In a way, the paintings executed in Arles reflect a synthesis of the two previous artistic periods of Van Gogh's development. In Nuenen, Van Gogh would emerge as a skilled painter with a passion for painting outdoors. In Paris, Van Gogh would refine his evolving talents to incorporate a new world of colour and style introduced by the Impressionists.

Letter 591
St. Rčmy, 15 May 1889


My dear Theo,
Thanks for your letter. You are absolutely right when you say that M.Salles has been splendid in all of this, I am under the greatest obligation to him.
I want to tell you that I think I have done well to come here, because, by seeing the reality of the assorted madmen and lunatics in this menagerie, I am losing my vague dread, my fear of the thing. And bit by bit I am getting to consider that madness is just a disease like any other. Thus the change in surroundings will do me good, I think.
As far as I can tell, the doctor here is of the opinion that what I have had is some sort of epileptic attack. But I haven't asked him more about it.
Have you received the case of paintings, I am curious to know if they have suffered, yes or no?
I have two more on the go - violet irises and a lilac bush, two subjects taken from the garden.
The idea of my duty to get back to work occurs to me a lot and I believe that all my faculties for work will soon come back to me. It's just that the work often absorbs me so much that I think that for the rest of my life I will always be a bit absent-minded and awkward when shifting for myself.
I won't write you a long letter - I want to try to reply to my new sister's letter, which moved me very much, but I don't know if I'll be able to do it.

A handshake,
Ever yours, Vincent

From letter 597
St.Rémy, 2 July 1889

But what touches me, as in some novelists of our day, is that the voices of these people, which in Shakespeare's case reach us from a distance of several centuries, do not seem unfamiliar to us. It is so much alive that you think you know them and see the thing.


From letter 599
St. Rémy, 6 July 1889

I very much like to think that illness sometimes heals us, that is to say, when the discomfort comes to a crisis, it is necessary for the recovery of the body's normal condition.


July 1889

Perhaps I exaggerate in the misery of my having been bowled over by my illness again – but I am sort of afraid.


From letter 603
St. Rémy, 6 July 1889

Their [cicadas] song in the great heat here has the same charm for me as the cricket on the hearth for the peasants at home. Old man - don't let's forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives, and that we obey them without knowing it.


From letter 620
St. Rémy, 31 December 1889

Oh, while I was ill there was a fall of damp and melting snow. I got up in the night to look at the country. Never, never had nature seemed to me so touching and so full of feeling...
