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.
