How did van gogh start his career in painting?
Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 - 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist artist. He was a pioneer of Expressionism with enormous influence on 20th century art, especially on the Fauves and German Expressionists. Some of his paintings are now among the world's best known, most popular and expensive works of art. Van Gogh spent his early adult life working for a firm of art dealers. After a brief period as a teacher, he became a missionary worker in a very poor mining region. He did not begin his career as an artist until he was about 27; however during the last ten years of his life, he produced more than 2,000 pieces, including around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches. He worked only with sombre colours until he encountered Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism in Paris. Van Gogh incorporated their brighter colours and style of painting into a uniquely recognizable style, which he had fully developed by the time he spent at Arles, France. Most of his best-known works were produced during his final two years, amid the recurrent bouts of mental illness which led to his eventual suicide at the age of 37. A central figure in Van Gogh's life was his brother Theo, who continually and selflessly provided financial support. Their lifelong friendship is documented in numerous letters they exchanged from August 1872 onwards.
Comment:
OK, but I cannot see you have answered the question HOW.
He would have started by setting up his easel, then setting out his palette & mixing his colours as required, then would stick his brush into the right one and get cracking.

Did Vincent van gogh cut off his ear and give it to a woman?

What is the theme of Cafe Terrace at Night by Van Gogh?
okay first off the cafe is one of the buildings that appers in the starry night painting. It is also the building that he lived in upstairs. the pool table painting is the inside of the cafe where van gogh painted himself passed at one of the tables. his brother theo is sitting at one of the tables in front of the cafe.
I have no idea what that previous answer was all about. I assume you mean "Cafe Terrace at Night in Arles?" I believe it is a rendition of The Last Supper. The central figure is "serving" the 12 diners around him (including the one in the shadow of the door on the left...ie Judas). Furthermore, there is the form of a crucifix in the window behind the Christ figure.

Why did van goh cut off his left ear?
You're thinking of absinthe, sometimes known as the Green Fairy because of its brilliant green color. It's made primarily of wormwood, anise, and fennel, but contains other herbs as well. It is bottled without added sugar, so it is not a liqueur in the strictest sense. It is traditionally served in a special glass, which has a bulb at the bottom to indicate the proper amount. A special slotted spoon is set over the top of the glass and a sugar cube is set on the spoon. Cold water is then poured slowly into the glass over the sugar cube until it dissolves and the drink is diluted 3:1 or 5:1. This is called louching the absinthe. During this process, some of the plant compounds come out of solution, releasing flavor into the drink and thickening its mouth feel. Because of the supposed hallucinogenic properties of absinthe, which are due to the chemical thujone in wormwood, it is heavily regulated in many parts of the world. Regulations vary from country to country, and often are focused on importation rather than possession or consumption.

Did van Gogh have a disability?
I believe Van Gogh appears to have traits of AS with schizoid bridging. AS in a genetic sense may have links to bipolar and schizophrenia as well as autism, and in schizoid bridging situations the sensory enhancement is linked to a distorted view of reality. People with AS that I have met appear to experience details much like an impressionist painting or a pixelated TV set. The greater the impairment of sensory filters, the greater the intensity of this experience. However, if you look at Van Gogh's work there is a distortion beyond this indicating an experience of dynamism or movement. His detail granularity is "moving" much like the descriptions of people with schizophrenia, hence the bridging trait. Additionally, he experienced depression, an inability to relate his experience to NTs, and an experience of not following social conventions creating isolation not to mention his savant brilliance in his artistic expression and spacial logic. My opinion.
