About Van Gogh

-Van Gogh's Dream

abstract:

The sunflower simply inserted in the vase presents a brilliant and exciting shock. Van Gogh? Painting with redrawn strokes is like taking a piece of dirt from a sculpture. The colors and techniques of yellow and earth tones show a beautiful world full of hope and sunshine. However, while painting this painting, the world that the painter desperately wanted to seize slowly but mercilessly slipped away. Perhaps the surface of this painting reflects his psychological state at the end of his short tragic life. He is a painter who loves nature and can see pure beauty from simple things. He said that he would rather draw the shadow of a tree seen from the window than imagine a beautiful illusion. In his eyes, there is only a vibrant natural landscape, and he is intoxicated with it and forgets things. He regards everything in the world as an inseparable whole, and he embraces everything with all his body and mind. Van Gogh's life, like a dream, rippled gently in the world, leaving a dazzling bright yellow for the world!

Keywords: artistic value of life

First of all, his life is like a sunflower-sadly bright.

(a) Van Gogh and the Van Gogh family

Vincent. William? Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853- 1890) is a Dutch post-impressionist painter. He was a pioneer of expressionism and deeply influenced the art of the 20th century, especially the Fauvism and German Expressionism. Van Gogh's works, such as Starry Night, Sunflower and Wheat Field with Crows, are now the most famous, widely known and expensive works of art in the world. 1890 On July 29th, Van Gogh finally ended his young life on the beautiful river Vaz in France because of mental illness, but he was only 37 years old.

Van Gogh's grandfather was a priest. Vincent Van Gogh1789.2.11874.5.7) Van Gogh's grandmother's name is Elizabeth (Elizabeth Huberta Vrijdag1790-1875). They gave birth to 12 children, one of whom died very early, leaving five daughters and six sons.

Van Gogh's father Theodore Lu? Van Gogh? Theodorus van Gogh (1822.2.2-1885.3.26) preached in Zunde in 1849. He is a Christian priest. Two years later, he and Van Gogh's mother Anna? Anna cornelia Carpenters (1819.11.10-1907) got married. Anna was born in The Hague, and her father was called "the king's bookbinder" in The Hague because he was chosen to bind the first Dutch Constitution. One of his daughters married Vincent. Van Gogh? Uncle Gao. Their first son died shortly after his birth. After his birth, Van Gogh was named after his dead brother: Vincent William.

Van Gogh is the boss of the family. He also has three sisters and two younger brothers. In Van Gogh's life, he only kept close relationship with his younger brother Theo and his younger sister Wilhelmina, and Theo was the biggest supporter and admirer of Van Gogh's life. 1890 Six months after Van Gogh's death, Theo followed his brother ... Although Van Gogh's father was only a priest, the Van Gogh family was still very influential at that time, because several of Van Gogh's uncles were "very influential" figures at that time.

(2) Van Gogh and Van Gogh's life

Van Gogh was born in Dherdt, Tianjin on March 30th, 1983. In the early days, he cut off his ear to express his inner grief. 1890 On July 29th, he committed suicide on the banks of the Vaz River in France due to mental illness. He did business in his early years, and then he was keen on religion. After 1880, he began to learn painting. I met painters such as E Bernard, P Sinek and P Gauguin in Paris.

1888 In February, Van Gogh was recommended by a friend to come to arles, a small town in the south of France, and fell in love with it soon. The fierce sunshine and harsh wheat fields made him "crazy".

Fear of mental illness and confusion about the future. He gets sick every few months, but then he is sober and often paints outdoors. Surprisingly, Van Gogh was not decadent under such circumstances, but painted more mature, bolder and more shocking works. Many works in this period show strong emotion and "visual impact", and the rotating lines are rough and powerful, which makes people feel the painter's complex and strong feelings and expression impulse. Representative works include: starry night and cypress. It is worth mentioning that it was at this time that critics began to comment on Van Gogh and sold his only oil painting.

On the afternoon of July 27th, Van Gogh shot himself while he was out painting. At dawn on the 29th, Van Gogh died beside Theo. He is only 37 years old. There has been a debate about the cause of Van Gogh's suicide. Personally, I think Van Gogh's suicide was not just due to mental problems. Works such as The Crow in the Rye must have been painted by the painter in a very sober state, but these paintings suggest that Van Gogh's death is obvious. Van Gogh's sudden suicide on the eve of fame may be a mystery. But please remember his last words: "Sorrow will last forever …"

After Van Gogh's death, his fame grew bigger and bigger. With the publication of works exhibitions, letters and even biographical books, Van Gogh gradually became a household name all over the world and became one of the most popular artists. Van Gogh was poor before his death, but after his death, his works became the capital that billionaires showed off!

He was poor when he was alive, but brilliant after he died. His life is like a sunflower, bright and sad!

Second, his art is like harsh sunshine-hot but warm.

(1) Van Gogh's works are meaningful.

1, simple painting

This is Van Gogh's earliest oil painting. Van Gogh was almost 30 years old when he painted these paintings. These works were completed between 188 1- 1883. Previously, Van Gogh suffered a huge blow in the Japanese mining area of Borina, and almost despaired of God, but finally found the destination of life-painting in confusion and confusion. He began to copy many famous paintings and did a lot of sketching exercises. It can be said that Van Gogh was a talented painter who taught himself. He has been influenced by art since he was a child and has a high literary accomplishment, which makes him have a high artistic appreciation. Van Gogh liked Rembrandt and Miller. He painted farmers, workers and people at the bottom of society with his brush. Although the deep and heavy style contrasts greatly with the later painting style, the temperament and spirit shown in the painting are eternal.

Van Gogh tried to practice his sketching skills. After drawing a lot of sketches and practicing, he finished his first masterpiece (the so-called fame was the result of later generations' evaluation, when Van Gogh was just an unemployed youth)-the potato eater. This painting and many of his works in this period have been influenced by the Dutch realistic painting style, with deep pictures and strong local flavor. This also shows Van Gogh's strong peasant complex, and he seems to want to be a peasant painter. On the one hand, he was influenced by "spiritual mentor" Miller, and what is more important may be his deep yearning for rural life, respect for simple farmers and praise for honest labor!

Gorgeous intentions

Self-portrait after ear cutting

1888 Vatican? Gauguin invited Gauguin to live in arles. At first, they got along well, but with Van Gogh's illness, the two artists kept quarreling. After a fierce quarrel, Gauguin left angrily, Vatican? Unable to restrain his excitement, Gao cut off his right ear.

The world first infected its madness to human painters-just as it once injected magic into his works. We stared at Van Gogh in surprise? High and twisted face, horrible eyes and trembling gestures: he seems to be suffering instead of all mankind and become the embodiment of pain. Thinking of this, can you still understand the Vatican? Struggling lines and dancing color blocks in Gao's works: his blood is mixed with poured paint, and the canvas is just a bandage for his wound. This is a master who lives in trauma. He is used to talking to the world with a wound. This is a painful reaper, and his sickle finally harvested his ears.

Van Gogh? Gao died, but left a famous ear-this last relic, it seems, did not lose hearing, collecting comments from future generations.

Van Gogh's universe can last forever in the starry night.

Starry Night is a landscape painting both near and far, which can be seen from the high-viewpoint landscape techniques of Bruegel, a landscape painter in the16th century, although Van Gogh's more direct source is some impressionist landscape paintings. Tall poplars trembled and floated slowly in front of us; Small villages in the valley live safely under the protection of the steeple church; All the stars and planets in the universe are spinning and exploding in the "doomsday judgment". This is not the final judgment of man, but the final judgment of the solar system. This painting was painted by/kloc-0 in June, 1989 in St. Remy's sanatorium. After the second nervous breakdown, he lived in this nursing home. There, his illness was good and bad, and when he was conscious and full of emotions, he kept painting. The colors are mainly blue and purple, and the yellow of the stars beats regularly. The dark green and brown poplars in the foreground mean endless nights around the world.

Night outdoor cafe

Van Gogh's passion came from the world he lived in and the strong reaction of people he knew. This is by no means a simple reaction made by a primitive man or a child. His letter to his brother Theo is the most touching story written by the artist. The letter shows his highly sensitive perception, which is completely in line with his emotional response. He is keenly aware that he is getting the effect, which is achieved through yellow or blue. Although most of his color concepts are used to express his love for man and nature and his happiness in the process of expression, he is very sensitive to dark colors, so when talking about Cafe at Night, he said, "I try to express the terrible passion of human beings in red and green." The cafe at night is a nightmare composed of dark green ceilings, red walls and uncoordinated green furniture. The golden floor presents a vertical perspective and enters the red background with incredible power. Conversely, the red background is also quite competitive with its strength. This painting is an irreconcilable struggle between the perspective of space and the aggressive color trying to destroy it. The result is a terrible experience of claustrophobia and oppression. The work indicates surrealism's exploration of perspective as a means of fantasy expression, but no exploration can have such shocking power.

Goddess of the rainbow

"Iris", the flowers on the screen are vaguely strange, but after careful taste, the strong smell floats over the nose, faintly and intermittently, and the legendary "taste" seems to be engraved on your drawing board, in your heart, and then flutters. Just like our hearts, silent expectations and blue and purple memories. It is also very similar to the youth that we are about to bloom, flying and burning in the hot years, although we will be tired. But that beauty, that light, that vitality, in your fresh eyes, is like a volcano. It is showing off and joy, venting and willfulness. Such memories are so unforgettable. Perhaps in the replay of history, in the chain of biological evolution, people seem to have forgotten those lonely skirts, gloomy attics and deep worlds in the past. But only with admiration, I felt Van Gogh, his loneliness, loneliness and death. With the freeze-frame of this paper painting, I abandoned Van Gogh's blue and gray-brown sadness, and also abandoned people's heartache and guilt, time and time again, day after day, forever.

sunflower

These sunflowers are simply inserted in vases, showing a breathtaking magnificence. Van Gogh? Painting with redrawn strokes is like taking a piece of dirt from a sculpture. The colors and techniques of yellow and earth tones show a beautiful world full of hope and sunshine. However, while painting this painting, the world that the painter desperately wanted to seize slowly but mercilessly slipped away. Perhaps the surface of this painting reflects his psychological state at the end of his short tragic life. He is a painter who loves nature and can see pure beauty from simple things. He said that he would rather draw the shadow of a tree seen from the window than imagine a beautiful illusion.

Crows flying in the wheat field

In this painting, there is still his unique golden color that people are familiar with, but it is full of anxiety and gloom. The thick blue sky with dark clouds is pressing the golden wheat field, so heavy that people can't breathe, and the air seems to have solidified. A group of messy crows fly low, the undulating horizon and the violent strokes add to the sense of oppression, resistance and uneasiness. The picture is extremely turbulent, and the green path goes deep into the distance in the yellow wheat field, which adds anxiety and excitement. This painting reveals tension and ominous omens everywhere, as if it were a silent suicide book composed of colors and lines. The very next day, he came to this wheat field and shot himself in the heart.

(2) He created art and became art..

The price of Van Gogh's works went up with his fame. These prices can only show that Van Gogh is one of the most respected artists and cannot represent the true value of a work of art ... The value of a work of art lies in itself and cannot be calculated by money.

Van Gogh? Gao has little formal painting training. He worked hard day after day and got canvases, oil paints and painting tools. He was constantly in a state of spiritual contradiction and he was under pressure to pursue artistic perfection. These, if not the direct cause of his later illness, also planted seeds for his life tragedy.

Van Gogh? What he is interested in is the reappearance of true feelings, that is, what he wants to show is his feelings about things, not the visual image he sees.

Van Gogh classified his works as those of impressionist painters.

Another kind of works is different. He said, "In order to express myself more forcefully, I am more free to use colors." In fact, not only the color, but also the perspective, shape and proportion have changed to show an extremely painful but very real relationship with the world. This distinctive feature later became the basis of the independent existence of Impressionism, which was different from other painting schools.

Van Gogh? Gao is an artist with a real sense of mission, Van Gogh? When talking about his own creation, Gao summed up his feelings like this: I risked my life for it; Because of it, half my reason collapsed; But it's okay ... "

Van Gogh? Gao always insists that art should pay attention to practical problems and explore how to awaken conscience and transform the world.

After he finished the world-famous Eleven Sunflowers, he chose to commit suicide.

Van Gogh? Suicide at the age of 37. As an artist, it was not until shortly before his death that he won the praise of critics for his shocking and imaginative paintings.

Van Gogh? Within a few years after Gao's death, some painters began to imitate his painting methods. In order to express strong feelings, they can't truthfully reflect the reality. This creative attitude is called expressionism and proved to be a lasting trend in modern painting. That is, transforming the object for subjective consciousness.

A talented painter, he ended his life at the age of 37. However, in the last few years of his life, he left behind many of his most famous paintings, including Starry Night, which he painted in a mental hospital in the south of France in 1889, Path of Cypress and Stars and Crow in the Rye, which he painted in 1890. The researchers said that the shadow of the classical mathematical model of turbulence can be found in all these paintings.

For centuries, many scientists have been trying to describe turbulence with accurate mathematical models. However, this problem, which is considered to be more profound than quantum mechanics, remains unsolved. An important foundation of modern theory of turbulence was put forward by Andrei Andrey Kolmogorov, a scientist of the former Soviet Union, in the 1940s. After many studies, Andre Andrey Kolmogorov finally got a mathematical formula to describe the velocity difference between any two points of fluid. This correlation is now called "Andre Andrey Kolmogorov microscale".

Van Gogh seems to be the only painter in the world who can restore the vortex phenomenon so accurately with his paintings!

Van Gogh, when he lived, his works were hard to be accepted by people. However, his paintings had a far-reaching and unquestionable influence on western art in the 20th century. Later generations took Van Gogh's real life as a template and created one classic after another about Van Gogh, which cleansed the hearts of later generations!

His dream is remembered by the world.

The sun in Provence is so big and round that you can't see it anywhere in the world. It is very close to the earth. The direct sunlight not only illuminates and shines everything in the world, but also makes Van Gogh suddenly see the essence of everything-a transparent, brilliant and vigorous life essence. He has never felt that life is so warm and powerful! In his letter to his younger brother Dior, he described the excitement and inspiration brought by sunshine hundreds of times. He found a color that belongs to both the sun and himself-dazzling yellow. He said, "The bright yellow sky is almost as bright as the sun. The sun itself is the number one inscription in yellow and white. The rest of the sky is a yellow mixture of the number 1 and the number 2. They are so yellow! " This yellow color immediately changed Van Gogh's paintings and established his paintings!

Provence in the big sun sublimated him. He was very excited. He is eager to establish a "future studio" with Gauguin. I fantasize that they will use this studio forever, leaving this studio to future generations and future "successors". His heart is full of grand sense of career. He really rented a house, bought some furniture, and used the yellow color in his heart to describe the exterior wall paint of the house. In addition, he painted a group of more than a dozen "sunflowers" and hung them on the wall to welcome his expected friends. This dense flower, full of sunshine, thrives and opens, and this "sun of the earth" is exactly the self he symbolizes.

After he chose to leave this world, his younger brother died with him.

Thick green ivy covered their graves like a thick blanket. As the years passed, both tombstones were mottled with moss. The only difference is that there is always a pile of wheat or a few bright yellow sunflowers in front of Van Gogh's monument. It was put forward by people from all over the world. But no one will bring gorgeous and expensive flowers. Van Gogh's admirers know the special and extraordinary significance of his life. The essence and color of his life.

Van Gogh's life is full of "failure" in the secular sense. It has no fame and fortune, no love, no poverty, no coldness and no destruction. In the last two years of his life, he struggled with a huge and violent disease and despaired of lofty and brilliant art.

If van Gogh's miracle is genius plus mental illness; Then, Van Gogh's supreme value is his unparalleled art and his great life of martyrdom for art.

The truly great art is the work plus his life.
