van gogh
Hi, my name is Vincent Van Gogh. I was born on March 30, 1853 in Groot-Zundert, North Brabant, Netherlands. I am the eldest son of a Protestant Clergyman. In 1869, at age 16, I began to work for Groupil and Company, who were Art Dealers in The Hague, where my uncle was a partner. I briefly turned to teaching school in England after Groupil and Company dismissed me in 1876. I then began to study for entrance to a theological seminary to follow in the footsteps of my father. After failing to qualify, I then volunteered for service
But I'm sure they will be worth millions in the future. Sure, I made over a thousand paintings, but, I only sold one, I never married or had kids, and I couldn't stick to one profession. In 1881 I moved to The Hague to work with the Dutch landscape painter Anton Mauve. Now on July 27, 1890 I think I am going to go and commit suicide. among the coal miners of the Borinage in southern Belgium. My life as I have seen I was pretty much a waste of oxygen. I failed and lost interest in many of jobs that I have had. The people that have lived in my lifetime are the following: Queen Victoria, Disraeli, Gladstone, Franz Joseph, Bismarck, Marxx, Engles, Wells, Sydney and Beatrice Webb, George Shaw, Ramsey MacDonald, William Booth, Churchill, and Paul Kruger to name a few. I can't stand these mental hospitals anymore, even though they were my greatest inspiration. In my life I have not accomplished much. And the next summer I began to experiment with oil paints. In 1885 I produced my first masterpiece, 'The Potato Eaters'. I didn't accomplish anything in my eyes and anyone else's eyes that I know of. I did become a lay preacher in 1876.
