What did Theo van Gogh die of?

Van Gogh suffered a mental breakdown after only ten years working as an artist. The story goes that in December 1888, Van Gogh cut off the lower half of his left ear and took it to a brothel, where he presented it to a prostitute friend. The reason for this unusual behaviour has been theorised upon by many; the most likely cause was that it was the result of an argument with his painter friend Paul Gauguin, although that does not explain his bizarre behaviour. Regardless of the reason, shortly after this incident, van Gogh admitted himself to a mental institution. Two years after this, suffering from severe depression, Van Gogh shot himself in the chest and died two days later, on 29 July, 1890.

Which of van Gogh's paintings used pointillism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Van Gogh adopted pointillism for a short while when he was in Paris, but soon found out the process was not suitable for his temperament and used it and its bright, unmixed colours to find his own style. That happened under the bright colours of the French sun in Arles.

Two of his pointillist pictures: Interior of a Restaurant of the summer of 1887 (Kroller-Muller Museum, Otterlo), and Garden with courting couples: square Saint-Pierre of May 1887 (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam).

Asked by Wiki User

Clean it with the solvent of the material that you used. If it was an oil-based or alkyd product, pour approx.4 oz of mineral spirits in a plastic mixing cup, rinse brush repeatedly and clean brush w/ a "brush comb". Store brush in original wrapper it came packaged in (higher quality brushes). Keep a lid on rinsed solvent for future use or dispose of according to local environmental laws. For water-based or latex paints rinse w/ a warm water and laundry detergent solution and comb brush and store in same fashion as above.
