What kind of person was Van Gogh?

Van Gogh abandoned all the acquired knowledge, ignored the dogma cherished by the academic school, and even forgot his own reason. 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 became a highly personalized painter very late, only eight years before his death. Van Gogh had little formal training in painting. 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 is interested in the representation of real feelings, that is, he wants to show his feelings about things, not the visual image he sees. Van Gogh classified his works into another category different from impressionist painters. He said, "In order to express myself more forcefully, I use colors more freely." 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 is an artist with a real sense of mission. Van Gogh summed up this feeling when talking about his own creation: "I risked my life for it;" Because of it, half my reason collapsed; But it doesn't matter ... "Van Gogh never gave up his belief that art should care about practical problems and explore how to awaken conscience and transform the world. After he finished the world-famous Seven Sunflowers, he chose to commit suicide. Van Gogh committed 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. Within a few years after Van Gogh'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. Although Gauguin and Van Gogh's names have become pioneers of modern expressionism and models of extremely personalized artists, it is hard to imagine how different their personal characteristics are. Gauguin was a man who attacked traditional ideas. His language is mean, cynical, cold and sometimes rude. Van Gogh, on the other hand, was full of naive, passionate and deep love for artists. After his life experience, this love made him become an art dealer, and he had the desire to conduct theoretical research, and later became a missionary in the Belgian coal mining area. 1880 began to learn painting, and later studied in Brussels, The Hague and Antwerp. He came to Paris in 1886, where he met Lautrec, Seurat, Sinek, Gauguin and the original impressionists. Van Gogh's palette brightened after he met an impressionist painter in Paris. He found that the only thing he loved deeply was color, brilliant and incongruous color. The color characteristics in his hands are fundamentally different from those of Impressionism. Even though he used the impressionist technique, his conclusion was non-brahmin because of his unique observation ability of man and nature. It has always been like this. And this hue is so consistent with the spirit that sunflower always faces the sun. No matter how tall you are, you will never forget where you come from. This is the spirit of sunflower. Vincent Van Gogh Vincent Van Gogh (1853- 1890) is regarded as the greatest painter in the Netherlands after Rembrandt. He, Gauguin and Cezanne are also called post-impressionism. They absorbed the essence of Impressionism, but opposed the purely objective and rational description of Impressionism and advocated the essence and symbolic concept of things. They are the most important pioneers of modern art. Van Gogh began to paint at the age of 27. In just ten years, he painted more than 800 oil paintings and the same number of sketches, but almost no buyers were found. He had to rely on his brother Theo for long-term economic and spiritual support. Throughout his life, as Picasso said, "this man is either crazy or the best among us." 1873, Van Gogh worked in a gallery run by his uncle in London and pursued the landlord's daughter enthusiastically. Later, because of his lovelorn love, Van Gogh tasted the pain of love. He quit his job in the gallery and devoted himself to preaching to appease the painful hearts of mankind. From 65438 to 0876, Van Gogh served as a volunteer teacher in the school to help the children of the lower class learn. From 65438 to 0878, Van Gogh went to the Belgian Borina mining area to do missionary work. This winter, the mine cave collapsed, causing heavy casualties. God's miracle did not appear, which made Van Gogh disappointed with religion. 1879, the church dismissed van Gogh. After being fired, Van Gogh stayed in the mining area and became interested in painting. From 65438 to 0886, Van Gogh followed his younger brother to Paris, the capital of art, and met Gauguin, Cezanne, Sura, Rotleck and other kindred spirits. Deeply influenced by impressionism and Japanese board painting, Van Gogh began to form a strong personal style in the future. From 65438 to 0888, under the influence of Cezanne, Van Gogh went to Provence in southern France to seek creative inspiration. He settled in Al, where he painted more than 200 oil paintings, but only one (note: red vineyard) was sold and got painting reviews. In the poor life, under the red sun, the inexhaustible creation made Van Gogh nervous. In order to strengthen his belief, Van Gogh tirelessly invited Gauguin and Al * * * to live together and decorated his yellow house. But the result of two stubborn artists living together is a constant quarrel. After a heated argument, Gauguin left angrily. Van Gogh couldn't stop or restrain his excitement, so he cut off his left ear. From then on, he not only lost Gauguin, a good friend, but also laughed at everyone as crazy. 1889, van Gogh was admitted to the mental sanatorium in San Remy. 1890 In May, Van Gogh moved to Orville-sur-Vaz and lived near his younger brother. In just two months, he painted more than 70 oil paintings. Passionate and uncontrollable creative passion, like a fire burning his heart, made him exhausted and his spirit was on the verge of collapse. 1890 On the morning of July 27th, Vincent Van Gogh shot himself in the wheat field, and died of his injuries on July 29th at the age of 37. Van Gogh doesn't paint anything, he is the theme and purpose of his painting. And the world gave him such a strong feeling that he had to disappear.
