1. VICENT VAN GOGH
Vincent Willem van Gogh March 30, 1853-29. He was a Dutch post-
impressionist painter. His work had a great influence on modern art due to its
striking colors and emotional power. He suffered from anxiety and attacks of
mental illness.
When I was young, Van Gogh worked for a company of art dealers. Traveled
between The Hague, London and Paris. After that, he taught in England. Then
he wanted to be a pastor and spread the Gospel, and since 1879 he worked as
a missionary in a mining place in Belgium. He began to draw people there, and
in 1885, he painted his first important work, The Potato Eaters. Usually, he
painted in dark colors at this time. In March 1886, he moved to Paris and
learned about the French Impressionists. Later, he moved to the south of
France, and the colors in his art became brighter. His special style of art
developed and then grew completely during the time he remained in Arles in
1888.
