Vincent van Gogh,
for whom color was the chief symbol of
expression, was born in Groot-Zundert, Holland.
The son of a pastor, brought up in a religious
and cultured atmosphere, Vincent was highly
emotional and lacked self-confidence. Between
1860 and 1880, when he finally decided to become
an artist, van Gogh had had two unsuitable and
unhappy romances and had worked
unsuccessfully as a clerk in a bookstore in the
Borinage. He remained in Belgium to study art,
determined to give happiness by creating beauty. |

The works of his
early Dutch period are somber-toned, sharply
lit, genre paintings of which the most famous is
"The Potato Eaters" (1885). In that year van
Gogh went to Antwerp where he discovered the
works of Rubens and purchased many Japanese
prints. In 1886 he went to Paris to join his
brother Theo, the manager of Goupil's gallery.
In Paris, van Gogh studied with Cormon,
inevitably met Pissarro, Monet, and Gauguin, and
began to lighten his very dark palette and to
paint in the short brushstrokes of the
Impressionists. His nervous temperament made him
a difficult companion and night-long discussions
combined with painting all day undermined his
health. |

He decided to go
south to Arles where he hoped his friends would
join him and help found a school of art. Gauguin
did join him but with disastrous results. In a
fit of epilepsy, van Gogh pursued his friend
with an open razor, was stopped by Gauguin, but
ended up cutting a portion of his ear lobe off.
Van Gogh then began to alternate between fits of
madness and lucidity and was sent to the asylum
in Saint-Remy for treatment. In May of 1890, he
seemed much better and went to live in
Auvers-sur-Oise under the watchful eye of Dr.
Gachet. Two months later he was dead, having
shot himself "for the good of all." During his
brief career he had sold one painting.
Van Gogh's finest works
were produced in less than three years in a
technique that grew more and more impassioned in
brushstroke, in symbolic and intense color, in
surface tension, and in the movement and
vibration of form and line. |

Van Gogh's inimitable
fusion of form and content is powerful;
dramatic, lyrically rhythmic, imaginative, and
emotional, for the artist was completely
absorbed in the effort to explain either his
struggle against madness or his comprehension of
the spiritual essence of man and nature. |
