Vincent van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh was friends withhis brother,Theo,as they sent each other letters. Also Paul Gauguin, another famous artist.

Vincent Van Gogh was a French artist of Dutch descent. Robert Van De Graff was an engineer who invented the electostatic generator that bears his name. Van Gogh was an emotionally disturbed man, to put it mildly. the song (Vincent) by Don Mclean is substantially accurate though one thought it was more about a necrophile white-room (artist) who gets romantically involved with stiffs.

Van Gogh feared the voices in his head.

Voices in ones head are the voices of God for people who need help to have a better life on earth. Most people like Van Gogh are artists, and have fears that are initiated in childhood by a harsh environment. Van Gogh - and others - may not be able to see that harshness.If they're brave and strong enough to see the world is not always good and nice, voices disppear again.

It actually was not Van Gogh's entire ear, but his earlobe. He had been suffering from mental illness, and had been having hallucinations and delusions. He was in a brothel when he did it. He wrapped it in tissue, gave it to a prostitute, and asked her to take care of it. It has never been confirmed, but there are some that theorize that the mental illness was brought on to exposure to leads in his paints.

In 1990 van Gogh's Portrait of Dr Gachet was sold for 82.5 million dollars.

Van Gogh was a realist. He could only paint what he saw directly in front of him. Painting from memory was very hard for him.

He is one of the Post-Impressionists.
i dont know heple this is a project

He often painted flowers: Sunflowers, Irises, Chrysantemums, Daisies, Peonies, ...

There is no official ranking of his pictures - which are masterpieces and which are not. Some people say all his paintings are masterpieces. So any answer to your question must be subjective and vary according to who you ask.


My vote goes to The Potato Eaters from 1885.

They are simply called 'Sunflowers' or 'Vase of Sunflowers'.

Vincent painted nine 'Sunflowers' paintings.
7 of them are in museums
one in Munich,
one in London,
one in Philadelphia,
two in Amsterdam,
one in Otterloo (Holland),
one in New York (Met)


the remaining two are in private collections.

His full name was Vincent Willem van Gogh.

Vincent van Gogh (30 March 1853-29 July 1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th century art for its vivid colors an demotional impact. He suffered from anxiety and increasingly frequent bouts of mental illness throughout his life, and died largely unknown, at the age of 37, form a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Little appreciated during his lifetime, his fame grew in the years after his death. Today, he is widely regarded as one of history's greatest painters and an important contributor to the foundations of modern art. He produced more than 2,000 artworks consisting of around 900 painting and 1,100 drawing and sketches.

Theo Van Gogh was Vincent's younger brother. He was an art dealer and one of Vincent's closest friends. Much of what we know about Vincent we know because of the letters he sent to Theo. Along with the emotional support, Theo was of great financial support to Vincent throughout his brief art career. Vincent only sold one of his paintings during his lifetime so Theo provided the money for his livelihood.

This is like asking, "Why do Christians believe in God?" Only not as serious. Van Gogh paints things because of experiences, observations, etc-- The same reason everyone else paints everything. You cannot pinpoint one reason why one artist makes every painting. There's a reasoning behind all of them. The only way you would be able to know the exact answer to this question is if you spoke to Van Gogh directly and asked him why he made each and every painting that he made. Simple as that. Sorry for the overly long answer, but it's very difficult to explain in few words without sounding mean or harsh.

Vincent van Gogh was a painter. But he depended on his brother to give him money.

At the Academy of Antwerp he was registered but very seldom attended classes. In Paris he studied in ther painter Fernand Cormon's studio for a few months.

864 paintings by him are known.

He was 64 64 64 zoo lane

He changed the history of Art by being an inspiration for Expressionism.

The period was called Expressionism. He was a post -impressionist ( Post-Impressionist: Artist that painted with bold colors, made paintings by strokes with his brush/other tools.Mostly painted nature and real life objects.) He was born on March 30,1853 , he shot himself with a gun on july27 and died two days later on July 29, 1890. he died when he was only 37 years old.

Although it is said Van Gogh only sold one painting in his life time, he did sell a number of drawings. A few years before he died he became quite notable and in the art society of France people began to admire his expressionism.

If you are to search for still life paintings you will find a range of places on the internet which will give you lots of choice. Auction websites also have still life paintings for sale. Otherwise visit a local art shop who may have some still life paintings and if not they will know the best places to look in your local area.

Irises was painted in the last year before his death in 1890, before his first attack at the asylum. He called the painting 'the lightning conductor for my illness' because he felt that he could keep himself from going insane by continuing to paint. To get to the answer, Irises was painted so van Gogh felt calm and serene. He needed or wanted to have a peaceful sense while he was in the asylum.
