Topic: Vincent van Gogh



  
 Vincent Van Gogh (1853 - 1890)
Vincent paints portraits of his new acquaintances and the surrounding landscape, including nearby wheatfields and the garden of the painter Daubigny.
Vincent's paintings are left to Theo, but his true legacy will be realized in his powerful influence on artists of the twentieth century.
Vincent's Paris work is an effort to assimilate the influences around him; his palette becomes brighter, his brushwork more broken.

 Vincent Van Gogh Encyclopedia Article @ ArtQuilt.com (Art Quilt)
Van Gogh is sometimes thought of as the mad painter, but he could not paint during his disturbed episodes, only the time in between.
Van Gogh went to The Hague where he called on his cousin-in-law, the painter Anton Mauve, who encouraged him towards colour by giving him a box of watercolours.
In April 1881, Vincent went to live in the countryside with his parents in Etten and continued drawing, using neighbours as subjects.

 Vincent van Gogh: Biography
Vincent's letters to Theo show him to be devoted to Sien and especially her children, but his art was always his first passion--to the exclusion of all other concerns, including food.
Van Gogh's Paris period is fascinating in terms of its role in transforming him as an artist.
Van Gogh's two years in Paris were spent visiting some of the early exhibitions of the Impressionists (displaying works by Degas, Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Seurat and Sisley).

 Troubled Life of Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent was a disappointment to his mother, and eventually to his entire family, even his beloved brother Theo Van Gogh who supported him financially for the 10 years that he worked as a painter.
Therefore, an understanding of the paintings by Van Gogh requires insight into his turbulent life, because his style of painting is exemplified by a projection of the painter's inner experience onto the canvas he paints.
In Vincent Van Gogh's own words, he said, "What lives in art and is eternally living, is first of all the painter, and then the painting." To understand an artist of Expressionism we must first explore their biography.

 Vincent Van Gogh : THE Master!
Vincent is extremely productive during this period when he paints a number of seaside landscapes (in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer) as well as many of his most famous portraits (including his series of the postman, Joseph Roulin, and his family).
When able, Vincent continues his paintings of landscapes (his famous series of olive groves and cypresses) from the asylum, but is forced to stop when his attacks (in which he tries to poison himself by swallowing his own paints) return.
Vincent is extremely distressed as this relationship ends, but continues his work and strikes up a friendship with Anton C. Kerssemakers (1846-1926), a tanner and art enthusiast.

 CGFA- Bio: Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch postimpressionist painter whose work represents the archetype of expressionism, the idea of emotional spontaneity in painting.
The more than 700 letters that van Gogh wrote to his brother Théo (published 1911, translated 1958) constitute a remarkably illuminating record of the life of an artist and a thorough documentation of his unusually fertile output—about 750 paintings and 1600 drawings.
In 1886 van Gogh went to Paris to live with his brother Théo van Gogh, an art dealer, and became familiar with the new art movements developing at the time.

 Vincent van Gogh
Vincent's self-awareness as an artist and his need to be recognised as such was growing.
The Pioneer of modern painting, Vincent van Gogh, was born on March 30, 1853, in Groot-Zundert, a village in the south of Holland near Breda.
In that period Vincent achieved in his paintings what he expressed as his ideal: "…something of that eternal quality, formerly symbolised by the halo, that we seek in the radiance, in the vibration of our colouring." Whether or not one is prepared to call Vincent's use of colour symbolic, it was certainly extremely unconventional.

 Vincent van Gogh, Dutch Painter in France
Vincent's thinking during his short but prolific career (approximately 750 paintings, 1,600 drawings, 9 lithographs, and 1 etching) is well documented in more than 700 letters that he wrote to Theo and others.
Although van Gogh admired many members of the avant-garde, he also admired Eugène Delacroix, Jean François Millet, and the painters of the Barbizon and Hague schools.
During these years van Gogh's style shifted from the darker manner characteristic of his Nuenen period to a postimpressionist style heavily influenced by divisionism (also called pointillism; see Seurat, Georges).

And when he was finally done with his monumental work, van Gogh signed it: "Vincent." If he was ever to make a career as an artist it would be as the painter of that picture alone.

 WebMuseum: Gogh, Vincent van: Self-Portraits
In the most limited definition of the term, Impressionism as the objective study of light did not encourage so essentially a subjective study as the self-portrait but in the later expansion of the movement this self-representation was given renewed force by Cézanne and van Gogh.
In each there is the same extraordinary intensity of expression concentrated in the eyes but otherwise there is a considerable variety.
