Van Gogh's paintings are very famous now. Why didn't any artists appreciate them or ordinary people like them before his death?
There is no denying that some works of art take a long time to be accepted and appreciated by people, and sometimes it even takes a long time. There are many such examples at all times and in all countries. As far as western oil painting is concerned, the great value of many master painters' works was recognized many years after their death. Such as Rubens, Rembrandt, Courbet, Modigliani, Jerome, Monet and Gauguin. However, like Picasso, his life was rich and famous. When he was alive, his works were listed in the Louvre. After all, it is still rare.

For the later impressionist painter Van Gogh. Van Gogh (1853- 1890) was a genius painter. He has not received the orthodox education of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, nor has he received the "enlightenment" from famous teachers and experts. However, he was born with extraordinary artistic talent. His creative painting art not only made him an important representative of post-impressionism, but also made him one of the greatest painters in Holland and Europe in the19th century.

However, these honors were won decades after his death. When Van Gogh was alive, his paintings were not appreciated by people for various reasons. It is said that Van Gogh only sold one painting when he was alive, which was bought by his brother through an acquaintance. Because there was no market for paintings, Van Gogh lived a life of wandering, poverty and disease.

However, the neglect of his works and the hardships of life did not shake and change Van Gogh's persistence, love and pursuit of art. He made unremitting exploration, strove forward in difficulties, constantly adjusted and changed his creative methods and styles, hoping to find a painting expression that was both noble and elegant and acceptable to the public. If Van Gogh can live a long life, he may see that his paintings are liked by many people. Unfortunately, his life is fixed at the age of 37.

Although Van Gogh's life was short, he left more than 800 works of different periods and styles for the world, which became a gorgeous treasure of western painting. How can a painter think that his works finally shine after decades of death and are loved by more and more people? How can painters think that their works have become the most sought-after works of art in the international painting market? His small-scale oil painting "Sunflower" actually sold for $65,438+150,000.
