However, it is recognized that the father of modern art is not Van Gogh, but Cezanne. Van Gogh is not as good as Cezanne in painting technology, and not as good as Monet in painting exquisiteness. About light and shadow, it can't compare with Renoir. Of course, as far as fame is concerned, Van Gogh covers Cezanne too much and has a high level. His paintings are more primitive, savage, temperamental and powerful than those of Van Gogh. There is a saying that Van Gogh died of poverty and Picasso died of money. Van Gogh paid Picasso hundreds of millions of dollars. He must be a poor painter. ?
But as we all know, Van Gogh did not die of poverty, but shot himself because of depression. Van Gogh was not poor. Look at his paintings carefully. Pigments are piled up on the canvas like idle money. If you are really poor, thousands of paintings can't be done. The most popular version about Van Gogh's death is that after he went crazy, he quarreled with Gauguin, regretted it and cut off his ear.
Van Gogh's brother is a big art dealer in Europe. In addition to providing Van Gogh with a monthly self-help fund of 150 francs, he often helps him when he is in trouble. Van Gogh's money is not only used to buy paint canvases, but also often used to help poor painters such as Gauguin. He wrote 6,565,438+0 letters to his younger brother in his life, of which 392 were paid. Of course, Van Gogh didn't get the money for nothing. He painted for ten years and gave it to his younger brother.
The above answer is my personal opinion. If you have different ideas, you can comment below.
