Vincent Van Gogh

(1853-1890)

Was the son of a Dutch pastor. Vincent van Gogh was first employed in The Hague, London and Paris by the picture dealers for whom his brother Theo worked. He then taught in two English schools, worked in a bookshop in Holland, began studying for the Church, and became a missionary in the coalmining district of the Borinage in Belgium, where he shared the poverty and hardships of the miners. Vincent van Gogh did not begin to become an artist until he was living in great poverty after his dismissal from the mission in 1880, and from then until 1886 he lived variously at Brussels, The Hague and Antwerp, teaching himself to draw and paint, with occasional lessons in Brussels and at the Academy in Antwerp, which appear to have contributed little to his development. In 1886 Vincent van Gogh joined Theo in Paris and immediately came into contact with the works of the Impressionists, which Theo endeavored to sell in the gallery devoted to modern art that he directed. Vincent van Gogh met Toulouse-Lautrec, Pissarro, Degas, Seurat and Gauguin, and in 1888 went to Arles where he was later joined by Gauguin. In December 1888 he became insane, which resulted in the famous incident with his ear, and from then until his death he suffered intermittent attacks of mental trouble. During the intervals between them he continued to paint, both in the asylums and after his removal to Auvers, where, in July 1890, Vincent van Gogh shot himself.

Van Gogh's Dutch period is characterized by his use ofdark color, heavy forms, and subject matter chiefly drawn from peasants and their work. He ignored Theo's advice to lighten his palette as the Impressionists were doing, but during his short stay in Antwerp he became more interested in Japanese prints and the work ofRubens. Afterhis arrival in Paris a complete change took place in his palette and subject matter; he adopted the Impressionist technique, leaning briefly towards the pointillism ofSeurat, and turned to flowers, views ofParis, and portraits and self-portraits which enabled him to experiment with these new ideas. Afterhe went to Aries, Vincent van Gogh painted many landscapes and portraits in heightened color and with a vivid, passionate expression of light and feeling. His paintings done at St Remy and Auvers are vivid in color and with writhing, flame-like forms in the drawing, completely expressive ofhis tormented sensibility. His greatest influence was on ~Munch and the German Expressionists.
