Van Gogh had left for Arles in the hopes of turning it into an artists' haven and had convinced Gauguin to join him. Vincent had spent all the money his brother Theo had given him on art supplies, so when Gauguin arrived he was in a malnourished state. Still, the men got on, working well together but frequently having arguments about art and techniques. As the weather worsened they were forced to stay indoors with each other for longer and longer periods of time and their arguments worsened. Vincent's mental state declined, possibly due to cabin fever, possibly due to poor nutrition, possibly due to stress relating to his generally failed attempt at creating an artists' community. Probably all three combined with a personality that tended to the over zealous.

Vincent Van Gogh faced challenges like: thinking he was a bother to his brother, cutting his ear off, and surviving bleeding to death for 2 whole dies before eve tually dieing.

A bit of additional information worth considering:

Mr. Van Gogh`s biggest challenge as an artist was an arguable lack of talent, especially when compared to many of his contemporaries. In the eyes of many, his art from beginning to end showed an amateurish quality typical of many beginning painters and of schoolchildren, with his fame based more on his ill fated association with his roommate, Paul Gauguin, and the greatly exaggerated self-mutilation as a result of this attempted relationship. Even "gay Paree", in those days, did not openly accept gay realtionships between men.

In any case, Mr. Van Gogh's ultimate challenge was the pschosis that developed from these challenges (his inability to match up to his contemporaries, and his attraction to Mr. Gauguin), resulting in his suicidal death at the age of 37.

Today, he would likely have faired better - at least in love, if not in art.

van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853

Vincent was a famous painter and he sent letters to his brother Theo.

J. vincent Scarpace used acrylic, oil, watercolour, pastel and a variety of other tools. He painted on canvas, board, paper.. etc.

He did various works in 1889. Some of them were Entrance of the Hospital, The Olive Trees, View of Arles (Flowering Orchards), Cornfield with Cypresses, and Cypresses,.

Vincent was born twice. A year to the day before the famous one, another Vincent van Gogh was born in 1852, stillborn. Also, Vincent's brother named his first and only child Vincent. Vincent was a strong family name, there were also grandparents, and grand uncles named Vincent.

Vincent painted from the late 1870's until he died in 1890.

Reproductions of art works have no monetary value, whether they are old or new. The value lies in the quality of the reproduction and the ability to hang such a famous art work in ones home.

The former is to be looked at, the latter to be listened to.

...Post-Impressionism?

before i start the name of the artist was van gogh, not van gosh. an original will cost about £154 because that's what starry night coasted (i think) or its might even cost more because it was an original.

Forget the ridiculous nonsense above!
The most expensive painting by van Gogh was sold in 1999 for 84.5 million dollars.

Impasto is a painting technique (typically in oil painting) where the artist uses thick layers of paint (think of the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh) to create the image within and/or define the surface of the picture. The word impasto is a variation on an Italian word that means "to cover in paste"

Vincent van Gogh shot himself with a revolver, which he had taken from the gun cabinet of his friend and physician Doctor Gachet, but then died in bed 2 days later. He had many mental problems and major stress disorder. Some people say that it runs through the family

Van Gogh actually shot himself in the stomach, which is a horrible slow way to kill oneself. It is also theorized that some of Vincents mental problems were brought on or worsened by the fact that all of the paints he used contained lead which can pool in the brain, and he was known to taste all of his paints to ensure they were up to his standards. After shooting himself in the stomach he dragged himself through a cornfeild back to the inn he lived and waited for help as a cry for attention yes he did GOD KILLED HIM

No he had no pets.

As an artist, I cherish the ability to express my emotions and ideas creatively, transforming abstract thoughts into tangible forms. The process of creation allows for exploration and experimentation, which can lead to unexpected discoveries. Additionally, sharing my work with others fosters connection and dialogue, enriching both my experience and that of my audience. Ultimately, being an artist is a fulfilling journey of personal growth and communication.

He was never sure about what he desired to do. At first he became an assistant to an art dealer and then later he put his all into becoming a pastor. However because he was so self sacrificing he was found to be uncongenial to the ones in higher order. After this his brother Theo suggested he study to become an artist reminding him of his enjoyment in younger years of sketching the landscapes around their home. Theo financed him in this direction.

Some he stored in his studio, but most he sent to his brother, who tried to sell them at the art dealer's where he worked.

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.
