At last I have a landscape with olive trees, and also a new study of a starry sky. Through the iron-barred window I can make out a square of wheat in an enclosure, a perspective in the manner of Van Goyen, above which in the morning I see the sun rise in its glory. One is the countryside that I glimpse from the window of my bedroom. In the foreground, a field of wheat, ravaged and knocked to the ground after a storm. A boundary wall and beyond, grey foliage of a few olive trees, huts and hills. Finally, at the top of the painting, a large white and grey cloud swamped by the azure. Then yet another that depicts a field of yellowing wheat surrounded by brambles and green bushes. At the end of the field a little pink house with a tall and dark cypress tree that stands out against the distant purplish and bluish hills, and against a forget-me-not blue sky streaked with pink whose pure tones contrast with the already heavy, scorched ears, whose tones are as warm as the crust of a loaf of bread. This morning I saw the countryside from my window a long time before sunrise with nothing but the morning star, which looked very big. Boime, Albert December Arts Magazine.

Vincent van Gogh used art to express his intensely emotional response to the world around him. Enraptured by the beauty of nature and tormented by the sorrows of human existence, he produced in his tragically short life some of the most powerfully expressive paintings ever seen. Many have made the mistake of thinking him mad, and he did suffer throughout his life periods o Vincent van Gogh used art to express his intensely emotional response to the world around him. Many have made the mistake of thinking him mad, and he did suffer throughout his life periods of mental anguish. But Van Gogh's paintings are not the works of a madman. Van Gogh famously sold only one painting during his life, but within a few years of his death he was recognized as one of the greatest modern painters.

Hours later, van Gogh went to the local brothel and paid for a prostitute named Rachel. With blood pouring from his hand, he offered her his ear, asking her to "keep this object carefully. Theo arrived on Christmas Day to see van Gogh, who was weak from blood loss and having violent seizures. The doctors assured Theo that his brother would live and would be taken good care of, and on January 7, , van Gogh was released from the hospital. He remained, however, alone and depressed. For hope, he turned to painting and nature, but could not find peace and was hospitalized again. He would paint at during the day and return to the hospital at night. On May 8, , he began painting in the hospital gardens. In November , he was invited to exhibit his paintings in Brussels. He sent six paintings, including "" and "Starry Night. Also around this time, Dr. Paul Gachet, who lived in Auvers, about 20 miles north of , agreed to take van Gogh as his patient. Van Gogh moved to Auvers and rented a room. On July 27, , Vincent van Gogh went out to paint in the morning carrying a loaded pistol and shot himself in the chest, but the bullet did not kill him. He was found bleeding in his room. Van Gogh was distraught about his future because, in May of that year, his brother Theo had visited and spoke to him about needing to be stricter with his finances. Van Gogh took that to mean Theo was no longer interested in selling his art. Van Gogh was taken to a nearby hospital and his doctors sent for Theo, who arrived to find his brother sitting up in bed and smoking a pipe. They spent the next couple of days talking together, and then van Gogh asked Theo to take him home. On July 29, , Vincent van Gogh died in the arms of his brother Theo. He was only 37 years old. Theo, who was suffering from syphilis and weakened by his brother's death, died six months after his brother in a Dutch asylum. He was buried in Utrecht, but in Theo's wife, Johanna, who was a dedicated supporter of van Gogh's works, had Theo's body reburied in the Auvers cemetery next to Vincent. Theo's wife Johanna then collected as many of van Gogh's paintings as she could, but discovered that many had been destroyed or lost, as van Gogh's own mother had thrown away crates full of his art. On March 17, , 71 of van Gogh's paintings were displayed at a show in Paris, and his fame grew enormously. His mother lived long enough to see her son hailed as an artistic genius. Today, Vincent van Gogh is considered one of the greatest artists in human history. In , the Van Gogh Museum opened its doors in Amsterdam to make the works of Vincent van Gogh accessible to the public. In September , the museum discovered and unveiled a van Gogh painting of a landscape entitled ". The painting is believed to have been created by van Gogh in — around the same time that his artwork "Sunflowers" was made — just two years before his death. We strive for accuracy and fairness.

The illustrations are nice, you learn about his life and get a bit of analysis of his art. What I can take from this book is that Van Gogh was a real pain in the butt for everyone around him. French critic Octave Mirbeau, the painting's first owner and an early supporter of Van Gogh, remarked, "How well he has understood the exquisite nature of flowers! Over the course of 10 years, van Gogh created more than 43 self-portraits as both paintings and drawings. But it is not easy to paint yourself, either. Van Gogh's self-portraits are now displayed in museums around the world, including in Washington, D. In December , van Gogh was living on coffee, bread and absinthe in Arles, France, and he found himself feeling sick and strange. Before long, it became apparent that in addition to suffering from physical illness, his psychological health was declining. Around this time, he is known to have sipped on turpentine and eaten paint. Within a month, van Gogh and Gauguin were arguing constantly, and one night, Gauguin walked out. Van Gogh followed him, and when Gauguin turned around, he saw van Gogh holding a razor in his hand. Hours later, van Gogh went to the local brothel and paid for a prostitute named Rachel. With blood pouring from his hand, he offered her his ear, asking her to "keep this object carefully. Theo arrived on Christmas Day to see van Gogh, who was weak from blood loss and having violent seizures.

For hope, he turned to painting and nature, but could not find peace and was hospitalized again. He would paint at the yellow house during the day and return to the hospital at night.

For other interpretations of the Moon, see below. When he decided to hold back three paintings from this batch in order to save money on postage, The Starry Night was one of the paintings he didn't send. But that was delusion, dear friend, and one soon comes up against a brick wall. And yet, once again I allowed myself to be led astray into reaching for stars that are too big—another failure—and I have had my fill of that. Theo referred to these pictorial elements in a letter to Vincent dated 22 October "I clearly sense what preoccupies you in the new canvases like the village in the moonlight [ The Starry Night ] or the mountains, but I feel that the search for style takes away the real sentiment of things. If that will make me more like Bernard or Gauguin, I can't do anything about it. But am inclined to believe that in the long run you'd get used to it. But although Van Gogh periodically defended the practices of Gauguin and Bernard, each time he inevitably repudiated them [33] and continued with his preferred method of painting from nature. The Starry Night belongs to this latter series, [35] as well as to a small series of nocturnes he initiated in Arles. The nocturne series was limited by the difficulties posed by painting such scenes from nature, i. Van Gogh's written statements concerning these paintings provide further insight into his intentions for painting night studies in general and The Starry Night in particular. Soon after his arrival in Arles in February , Van Gogh wrote to Theo, "I need a starry night with cypresses or—perhaps above a field of ripe wheat; there are some really beautiful nights here. He wrote about existing in another dimension after death and associated this dimension with the night sky. Noted art historian Meyer Schapiro highlights the expressionistic aspects of The Starry Night , saying it was created under the "pressure of feeling" and that it is a "visionary [painting] inspired by a religious mood. Art historian Sven Loevgren expands on Schapiro's approach, again calling The Starry Night a "visionary painting" which "was conceived in a state of great agitation. Art historian Lauren Soth also finds a symbolist subtext in The Starry Night , saying that the painting is a "traditional religious subject in disguise" [57] and a "sublimated image of [Van Gogh's] deepest religious feelings. He says it is merely a crescent moon, which, he writes, also had symbolic meaning for Van Gogh, representing "consolation. It is in light of such symbolist interpretations of The Starry Night that art historian Albert Boime presents his study of the painting. As noted above, Boime has proven that the painting depicts not only the topographical elements of Van Gogh's view from his asylum window but also the celestial elements, identifying not only Venus but also the constellation Aries. Boime asserts that while Van Gogh never mentioned astronomer Camille Flammarion in his letters, [62] he believes that Van Gogh must have been aware of Flammarion's popular illustrated publications, which included drawings of spiral nebulae as galaxies were then called as seen and photographed through telescopes. Boime interprets the swirling figure in the central portion of the sky in The Starry Night to represent either a spiral galaxy or a comet, photographs of which had also been published in popular media. These swirls represent Van Gogh's understanding of the cosmos as a living, dynamic place. Harvard astronomer Charles A. Whitney conducted his own astronomical study of The Starry Night contemporaneously with but independent of Boime who spent almost his entire career at U. Whitney also theorizes that the swirls in the sky could represent wind, evoking the mistral that had such a profound effect on Van Gogh during the twenty- seven months he spent in Provence. Cypress trees have long been associated with death in European culture, though the question of whether Van Gogh intended for them to have such a symbolic meaning in The Starry Night is the subject of an open debate. In an April , letter to Bernard, Van Gogh referred to "funereal cypresses," [69] though this is possibly similar to saying "stately oaks" or "weeping willows. I should like to make something of them like the canvases of the sunflowers, because it astonishes me that they have not yet been done as I see them. Schapiro refers to the cypress in the painting as a "vague symbol of a human striving. Loevgren reminds the reader that "the cypress is the tree of death in the Mediterranean countries. Art historian Ronald Pickvance says that with "its arbitrary collage of separate motifs," The Starry Night "is overtly stamped as an 'abstraction'. Such a compression of depth serves to enhance the brightness of the planet. Soth uses Van Gogh's statement to his brother, that The Starry Night is "an exaggeration from the point of view of arrangement" to further his argument that the painting is "an amalgam of images. What the three pictures do have in common is exaggerated color and brushwork of the type that Theo referred to when he criticized Van Gogh for his "search for style [that] takes away the real sentiment of things" in The Starry Night. On two other occasions around this time, Van Gogh used the word "arrangement" to refer to color, similar to the way James Abbott McNeill Whistler used the term. In a letter to Gauguin in January , he wrote, "As an arrangement of colours: the reds moving through to pure oranges, intensifying even more in the flesh tones up to the chromes, passing into the pinks and marrying with the olive and Veronese greens. And to Bernard in late November "But this is enough for you to understand that I would long to see things of yours again, like the painting of yours that Gauguin has, those Breton women walking in a meadow, the arrangement of which is so beautiful, the colour so naively distinguished. When Van Gogh calls The Starry Night a failure for being an "abstraction," he places the blame on his having painted "stars that are too big. While stopping short of calling the painting a hallucinatory vision, Naifeh and Smith discuss The Starry Night in the context of Van Gogh's mental illness, which they identify as temporal lobe epilepsy, or latent epilepsy. Van Gogh experienced his second breakdown in seven months in July Theo's widow, Jo , then became the caretaker of Van Gogh's legacy. Jo then bought the painting back from Schuffenecker before selling it to the Oldenzeel Gallery in Rotterdam in From to it was owned by Georgette P.

Vincent van Gogh - Wikipedia

In early , his uncle, Cornelis Marinus, owner of a well-known gallery of contemporary art in Amsterdam, asked for drawings of The Hague. Van Gogh's work did not live up to expectations. Marinus offered a second commission, specifying the subject matter in detail, but was again disappointed with the result. Van Gogh persevered; he experimented with lighting in his studio using variable shutters and different drawing materials. Later, they were recognised as early masterpieces. In August Theo gave Vincent money to buy materials for working en plein air. Vincent wrote that he could now "go on painting with new vigour". He had some of them photographed, but when his brother remarked that they lacked liveliness and freshness, he destroyed them and turned to . Van Gogh turned to well-known Hague School artists like Weissenbruch and Blommers , and he received technical advice from them as well as from painters like De Bock and Van der Weele , both of the Hague School's second generation. and its companion pieces are the only ones to have survived. Theo criticised The Potato Eaters for its dark palette, which he thought unsuitable for a modern style. Van Gogh came to believe that the effect of colour went beyond the descriptive; he said that "colour expresses something in itself". He used yellow as a symbol for sunlight, life, and God. Van Gogh strove to be a painter of rural life and nature, [] and during his first summer in Arles he used his new palette to paint landscapes and traditional rural life. Van Gogh stayed within what he called the "guise of reality", [] and was critical of overly stylised works. Between and his death in , Van Gogh appears to have been building an oeuvre , [] a collection that reflected his personal vision and could be commercially successful. He was influenced by Blanc's definition of style, that a true painting required optimal use of colour, perspective and brushstrokes. Van Gogh applied the word "purposeful" to paintings he thought he had mastered, as opposed to those he thought of as studies. With their broad brushstrokes, inventive perspectives, colours, contours and designs, these paintings represent the style he sought. Van Gogh's stylistic developments are usually linked to the periods he spent living in different places across Europe. He was inclined to immerse himself in local cultures and lighting conditions, although he maintained a highly individual visual outlook throughout. His evolution as an artist was slow, and he was aware of his painterly limitations. He moved home often, perhaps to expose himself to new visual stimuli, and through exposure develop his technical skill. The portraits gave Van Gogh his best opportunity to earn. He believed they were "the only thing in painting that moves me deeply and that gives me a sense of the infinite. The portraits of his mother were from photographs. In December he painted La Berceuse — a figure that he thought as good as his sunflowers. It has a limited palette, varied brushstrokes and simple contours. The portraits show a shift in style from the fluid, restrained brushstrokes and even surface of Portrait of the Postman to the frenetic style, rough surface, broad brushstrokes and use of a palette knife in Madame Roulin with Baby. Van Gogh created more than 43 self-portraits between and The self-portraits reflect an unusually high degree of self-scrutiny. It is one of his most renowned self-portraits of that period, "with its highly organized rhythmic brushstrokes, and the novel halo derived from the Neo-impressionist repertoire was what Van Gogh himself called a 'purposeful' canvas". They contain a wide array of physiognomical representations. Some show him with full lips, a long face or prominent skull, or sharpened, alert features. His hair may be the usual red, or at times ash coloured. Van Gogh's gaze is seldom directed at the viewer. The portraits vary in intensity and colour, and in those painted after December especially, the vivid colours highlight the haggard pallor of his skin. He can be seen with bandages in portraits executed just after he mutilated his ear. In only a few does he depict himself as a painter. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Self-Portrait , National Gallery of Art , Washington, D. Self-Portrait Without Beard , c. September This painting may have been Van Gogh's last self-portrait. He gave it to his mother as a birthday gift. Van Gogh painted several landscapes with flowers, including roses, lilacs , irises , and sunflowers. Some reflect his interests in the language of colour, and also in Japanese ukiyo-e. The first was painted in Paris in and shows flowers lying on the ground. The second set was completed a year later in Arles and is of bouquets in a vase positioned in early morning light. In these series, Van Gogh was not preoccupied by his usual interest in filling his paintings with subjectivity and emotion; rather, the two series are intended to display his technical skill and working methods to Gauguin, [] who was about to visit. The paintings were created during a rare period of optimism for the artist. Vincent wrote to Theo in August "I'm painting with the gusto of a Marseillais eating bouillabaisse, which won't surprise you when it's a question of painting large sunflowers If I carry out this plan there'll be a dozen or so panels. The whole thing will therefore be a symphony in blue and yellow. I work on it all these mornings, from sunrise. Because the flowers wilt quickly and it's a matter of doing the whole thing in one go. The sunflowers were painted to decorate the walls in anticipation of Gauguin's visit, and Van Gogh placed individual works around the Yellow House's guest room in Arles. Gauguin was deeply impressed and later acquired two of the Paris versions. Today the major pieces of the series are among his best known, celebrated for the sickly connotations of the colour yellow and its tie-in with the Yellow House, the expressionism of the brush strokes, and their contrast against often dark backgrounds. Neue Pinakothek , Munich. Irises , Paul Getty Museum , Los Angeles. Almond Blossom , Fifteen canvases depict cypresses , a tree he became fascinated with in Arles. In mid, and at his sister Wil's request, Van Gogh painted several smaller versions of Wheat Field with Cypresses. During the last six or seven months of the year , he had also created at least fifteen paintings of olive trees, a subject which he considered as demanding and compelling. In these works, natural life is rendered as gnarled and arthritic as if a personification of the natural world, which are, according to Hughes, filled with "a continuous field of energy of which nature is a manifestation". Cypresses in Starry Night , a reed pen drawing executed by Van Gogh after the painting in Wheat Field with Cypresses , The 14 paintings are optimistic, joyous and visually expressive of the burgeoning spring. They are delicately sensitive and unpopulated. He painted swiftly, and although he brought to this series a version of Impressionism, a strong sense of personal style began to emerge during this period. The transience of the blossoming trees, and the passing of the season, seemed to align with his sense of impermanence and belief in a new beginning in Arles. During the blossoming of the trees that spring, he found "a world of motifs that could not have been more Japanese". During this period Van Gogh mastered the use of light by subjugating shadows and painting the trees as if they are the source of light — almost in a sacred manner. In the vivid light of the Mediterranean climate his palette significantly brightened. Orchard in Blossom, Bordered by Cypresses , April View of Arles, Flowering Orchards , Van Gogh made several painting excursions during visits to the landscape around Arles. He made paintings of harvests, and other rural landmarks of the area, including The Old Mill ; a good example of a picturesque structure bordering the wheat fields beyond. Many of the late paintings are sombre but essentially optimistic and, right up to the time of Van Gogh's death, reflect his desire to return to lucid mental health. Yet some of his final works reflect his deepening concerns. Van Gogh was captivated by the fields in May when the wheat was young and green. His Wheatfields at Auvers with White House shows a more subdued palette of yellows and blues, which creates a sense of idyllic harmony. About 10 July , Van Gogh wrote to Theo of "vast fields of wheat under troubled skies". Wheat Fields , early June After Van Gogh's first exhibitions in the late s, his reputation grew steadily among artists, art critics, dealers and collectors. His work was shown in several high-profile exhibitions, including six works at Les XX ; in there was a retrospective exhibition in Brussels. Theo died in January , removing Vincent's most vocal and well-connected champion. Influenced by Van Gogh, Matisse abandoned his earth-coloured palette for bright colours. Van Gogh's fame reached its first peak in Austria and Germany before World War I , [] helped by the publication of his letters in three volumes in Bacon was inspired by an image he described as "haunting", and regarded Van Gogh as an alienated outsider, a position which resonated with him. Bacon identified with Van Gogh's theories of art and quoted lines written to Theo: "[R]eal painters do not paint things as they are Van Gogh's works are among the world's most expensive paintings. Van Gogh's nephew and namesake, Vincent Willem van Gogh — , [] inherited the estate after his mother's death in During the early s he arranged for the publication of a complete edition of the letters presented in four volumes and several languages. He then began negotiations with the Dutch government to subsidise a foundation to purchase and house the entire collection.
