Van Gogh
Van Gogh was born in 1853 and died in 1890. He was a Dutch postimpressionist painter. His works are perhaps better known generally than those of any other painter. The greatmajority were produced in 29 months of frenzied activity interspersed with epileptoidseizures and despair that finally ended in suicide. His early work, the Dutch period(1880-85), consists of dark, greenish-brown, heavily painted studies of peasants andminers (The Potato Eaters). After moving to Paris, he met Pissarro, who encouraged himto adopt a colorful palette. His work from his last month at Arles is characterized by theheavy impasto and rhythmic linear style so identified with him. Now I am going to tell you about his life and also some of his art work (paintings) Vincent Van Gogh was dorn on March 30, 1853 in the small village ofGroot-Zundent, Holland, to Theodorus Van Gogh (1822-1885) and Anna Cornelia neeCarbentus (1819-1907). His brother Theo was born on May 1, 1857. Van Gogh's father, a Protestant minister had hopes that his son would follow inthe foot steps of his forebears and become either a clergman or a successful businessman.

Despite theiroccasionally crude aspect, some of the drawings made in these circumstances alreadyshow an emotional quality that would develop further in the years to come. At first, she did not know how to pose, but she finished by learning; if I hadmade any progress, it's because I have a good model to draw. On January 7, 1889, Vincent left the hospital and returned to his "Maison jaune. As a markof his warm affection, Vincent gave him one of his best pictures, painted under thepointillist influence. This emphasis on the feral nature of the characters in The Potato Eaters Van Goghinsisted, was not intended to malign them. Some said that he went behind the graveyard where there stretched out immensewheat fields. On that occasion, the grouptook the name of "peintres du Petit Boulevard", by contrast to the "peintres du GrandBoulevard" monet, Sisley, Pissarro, Raffaelli, Degas, Seurat and others, who exhibited atTheo's , that is at Boussod, Valadon and Cie, boulevard Montmartre. The drawers of a large piece of Dutch furniturewere full of balls of wool mixed together, forming unexpected juxtapositions of colors. These people showed that they were hard workers by their rough leathery looking hands. Within the darkness of the room, the lamp and the barely visible rafters increasethe sense of solemnity. Vincent hardly left the hospital at The Hague when at the Leyden maternity ward,on July 2, 1882, Sien gave birth to a boy who was named Willem. It was Sienwho posed for Sorrow and The Great Lady, women shown to us in all their ugly nudity,without any fleshly charm. The hands look like they are all bones.
