built 286 days ago
In the year he spent at the asylum Van Gogh worked as feverishly as at Arles and produced 150 paintings and hundreds of drawings. He copied engravings after Rembrandt, Eugène Delacroix, and Millet. Van Gogh suffered several attacks but was completely lucid in between. At this time he received his first critical acclaim, an article by the writer Albert Aurier.

Vincent van Gogh [W]as born March 30, 1853, in Zundert, Netherlands. He is generally considered to be the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt. He powerfully influenced the current of Expressionism in modern art. His work, all of it produced during a period of only 10 years, hauntingly conveys through its striking colour, coarse brushwork, and contoured forms, the anguish of a mental illness that eventually resulted in his suicide on July 29, 1890, at Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris, France.

Van Gogh, the eldest of six children of a Protestant pastor, was born and reared in a small village in the Brabant region of the southern Netherlands. He was a quiet, self-contained youth, spending his free time wandering the countryside to observe nature. At 16 he was apprenticed to The Hague branch of the art dealers Goupil and Co., of which his uncle was a partner.

Van Gogh suffered several attacks but was completely peaceful in between. At this time he received his first critical praise (a good review), an article by the writer Albert Aurier.

In 1886 van Gogh went to live with Théo in Paris, where he became familiar with the new art movements developing at the time. Théo’s gallery was attempting to sell works by impressionist painters such as Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro (see Impressionism), and van Gogh saw for the first time the brighter colors and less sentimental subject matter of impressionist painting. As a result he began to abandon the dark colors of his early works for a much lighter and brighter palette.
