21
The son of a Protestant minister,
22
Vincent van Gogh was born in the Netherlands in 1853.
23
Robert did not become a painter immediately,
24
but for a short time he was a preacher in the coal mining region of Boronage in Belgium.
25
Here he began to meet his first love,
26
humanity, and all the humble people he met at the sermons.
27
This was an important step for his subsequent career as a painter,
28
which began shortly afterwards.
29
One of his most famous works,
30
The Potato Eaters, painted in 1885,
31
once he was back in his native Netherlands,
32
bears witness to his concerns for the most humble subjects.
33
It represents the harsh life of the countryside.
34
The emphasis on the hands of the protagonists expresses their hard work,
35
simple life, and dignity.
36
In 1886, while he was 33,
37
Vincent firmly decided to pursue his career as an artist and he moved to Paris.
38
In France, he met some of the most prominent Impressionist painters of the time,
39
which profoundly impacted his art.
40
At this point in his career,
41
his colors became brighter, but his feelings were not equally bright.
42
When Vincent van Gogh arrived in Paris, he had a dream.
43
A colony of inspired artists who worked together to find a way to best represent humanity in all its power.
44
Unfortunately, the times of Millet,
45
Courbet and all the French realities were over.
46
Vincent van Gogh felt terribly lost in this new cultural world.
47
He realized that the utopian community of artists he searched for did not exist anymore,
48
and his style, focused on human nature, was not yet appreciated.
49
Through art, Van Gogh hoped to express himself with all his fragilities and strengths,
50
using contrasting colors and expressionist deformations.
51
However, the public at the time was not all that interested.
52
In search of even brighter colors,
53
Van Gogh moved to the south of France in 1888.
54
In Arles, still dreaming of a colony of artists living freely in the countryside,
55
he invited Paul Gauguin to join him in the iconic Yellow House.
56
Gauguin's temperament led to a troubled friendship,
57
which was also reflected in the paintings of both artists.
58
If we compare the painting of Gauguin's chair with Van Gogh's own paintings,
59
we can come to understand their divergent ideas about art and life.
60
Van Gogh's modesty is symbolized by a pipe, tobacco, and onions.
61
Alternatively, Gauguin's work reflected that of a more elitist artist,
62
particularly with the inclusion of candles and literature.
63
In any case, one thing is for sure,
64
both artists were misunderstood, brilliant,
65
and incapable of understanding one another.
66
In Arles, Van Gogh also began to experience periodic psychotic episodes.
67
After one particularly After the terribly bad episode,
68
Frightened Gauguin fled the Yellow House, never to return.
69
Feeling abandoned, Vincent cut off his ear
70
and brought it to a prostitute in a bag as a request for help and love.
71
His loneliness is well represented in the famous Bedroom & Aro painting.
72
The room expresses a sense of relaxation,
73
but simultaneously, through the nervous lines, a sort of instability.
74
This metaphor of solitude could be seen as a form of an unconventional self-portrait.
75
Due to his mental distress,
76
Van Gogh was hospitalized later in life.
77
While in the clinic, inspired by feverish productivity,
78
he painted some of the greatest masterpieces of his career.
79
Despite this success, Van Gogh was unable to sell any of them.
80
Starry Night, with its swirling,
81
disturbing clouds, is probably the artwork that best expresses Van Gogh's hallucinatory visions and artistic genius.
82
It exhibits the power of his imagination,
83
but also the disorienting effects of his mental state.
84
In August of 1890, concerned with the worsening of his mental condition and his quickly depleting finances,
85
Van Gogh committed suicide in the middle of a wheat field.
86
Wheatfield with Crows represents the peak of his inner agitation,
87
a somber sense of death and a small road leading to the unknown.
88
Evaluating this painting today, we can understand how Vincent van Gogh was not alienated from reality.
89
He felt the power of nature,
90
but the intensity of his sensations had become intolerable.
91
Soon after, his beloved brother Theo died as well.
92
The posthumous success of the artist is curiously due to Theo's widow,
93
Jo Van Gogh Boonger.
94
She dedicated the rest of her life to selling Vincent's artworks,
95
organizing exhibitions, and publishing his letters to Theo.
96
The complex temperament of Van Gogh,
97
which cannot be reduced to just a psychological illness, shines through his art.
98
One can see this clearly in his iconic painting, Sunflowers.
99
The painting is not a dark or morbid still life.
100
Instead, it symbolizes his periodic joy and vitality.
101
Van Gogh wanted to introduce colors,
102
freshness, and brightness into his paintings,
103
possibly in the hopes of bringing those feelings into his own life too.
104
Sadly, that would never come to fruition.
105
In 1890, Van Gogh was buried with a bouquet of sunflowers.
106
As Gauguin said, these yellow flowers were completely Vincent.
107
So, what do you think about Van Gogh's multifaceted personality?
108
Was he a mad genius or simply a great artist who was years ahead of his time?
109
Which artworks best represent this duality?
