Dutch painter, who exemplified the idea of artist as tortured genius. His paintings are characterized by thick brush strokes, brilliant colors, and jagged lines, through which Van Gogh expressed his emotional response to his subjects rather than providing an accurate description of them.
And thus he influenced the expressionists.
This said, I'd personally say he influenced many more different artists than mentioned above. let's say most every other different artists style and techniques used by many individual artists after Vincent's appearance and disappearance in this MFA world of ours. Vincent had come a long ways in this field, especially after being known to most art appreciators as a real failure in the arts along with all the other odd jobs he was known to fail at also. These supposed ten years Vincent was known to produce art before committing suicide, thanks to his brother Theo his partner and art dealer, did in fact influence most all of his works of art and let's say all these different artist mentioned in more ways imaginable.

Asked by Wiki User
Experts believe that the popular story that Vincent Van Gogh killed himself is actually a myth. Supposedly, he was shot accidentally, and died shortly thereafter.
Vincent Van Gogh died from a gunshot wound suffered two days prior to his death. Although commonly thought to be self-inflicted, experts can not agree if it was an attempted suicide, or an accidental shooting from a local child. What is not debated, however, was Van Gogh's deteriorating mental health and mood, which is believed to be the cause of his supposed suicide attempt.
Van Gogh suffered from Manic Depression or Bipolar Disorder. This is a mental illness which has a very high suicide rate.
Nobody really knows why people kill themselves except the person who is dead.
ANSWER 2: Yes.... This is mostly true. BUT he killed himself because 1, possible mental illness, and 2, he thought there is no point in living, and 3, because the above.
He shot himself because he was sad, and thought there was no point in living. He went to a field, then shot himself in the chest with a revolver. Then he walked back to the asylum, stayed untreated for 3 days, then died.
What type of art is starry night by Vincent van gogh?
Asked by Wiki User
Van Gogh was struggling, as all artists do, with a particular area of artistic achievement. In this case, he was trying to capture a simplicity, a power, and perhaps a message, from the natural world. This is something he perceived within the scene of that starry night reflecting in the river, and he wished to make it plain for others to see, as well. He was applying "the end justifies the means," and if that meant a simplistic, surrealistic, even garish piece of art work, it didn't matter as long as his message was conveyed successfully.
