How It All Happened
Vincent Van Gogh is a well knowen artist, although what he went through to get to that point of life is amazing. Van Gogh was born on march 30th 1853, in the south of the Holland. Van Gogh did not have alot of friends because he was the pastors son and usually made fun of because of the household duties he had to do. By the time Van Gogh was in his mid- 20's, he wanted to leave the Netherlands and visit his brother on Paris to finally do what he wanted to do. -
Child Hood Memories
Van Gogh suffered through alot of bullying, and when I say bullying I do not meen with words. I meen phisically, when all the other children were outside playing sports and hanging out, all Van Gogh had to do was chores. So Van Gogh was not really intoduced to things such as art or music or sports, his father only wanted him to do well in school. So Van Gogh waited until he could do what he wanted to do, and one very special day, that happened -
Good Bye Holland Hello Paris
Overall, Van Gogh was a stick in the mud because he was always so depressed. Until one day he decided that he was going to go to Paris to persue his recent dreamto become an artist. Van Gogh expected that life would be great because he would live with his brother in his art museum and simply go to art school and become famouse. Although things turned out a little bit differently when he gotto Paris, and I bet you that he wish he had never though of going to Paris in the first place. -
Life In Paris
About February 27, 1886, Van Gogh arrives in Paris. He lived with Theo in Montmartre, an artists' quarter. Van Gogh and his brother worked with many different artist's at the time, such as Claude Monet and many other impressinoble artist. Although life in Paris was a step up from Holand, he really did not have anyone to talk to because everyone was so busy. So most of the time he would let his heart do the talking on a blank white canvas. -
What Happens Next
Van Gogh finally found someone he could talk to, In 1882 Vincent moved into a small studio in The Hague with a pregnant woman, Clasina Maria Hoornik ( Sien ) and her five year old daughter. This was the only girlfriend he ever had. When he cut his ear in Arles in 1889 he did not have a girlfriend. He was so heart broken he had no words for the pain he felt, so he drew many portraits of her and her daughter. Van Gogh was half the man he used to be, including his ear. -
Life And Death
Vincint Van Gogh litterally lost everything when the one person he could actually talk to, and he was suffering mentally more than phisically or socially. His brother always examined how bad his health was getting every day, so he thought that he should take him ot a doctors office to see what was going on. -
The Circle Of Life
Van Gogh was getting really sick, and all he had to comfort him was the warm hospital. Theo arrived on Christmas Day to see van Gogh, who was weak from blood loss and having violent seizures. The doctors assured Theo that his brother would live and would be taken good care of, and on January 7, 1889, van Gogh was released from the hospital. He was alone and depressed. For hope, he turned to painting and nature, Although he could not find peace and was hospitilized again -
Times Up
Van Gogh could not take the depression anymore, so he commited suicide. Van Gogh died in France on July 29, 1890, at age 37, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, his friends and family were now also in a drag because of poor Van Gogh. Van Goghs brother had a wife and they had children, he named them after Van Gogh. His brother sold one of his paintings so his funeral would be just the way he wanted it to be. Although six months after Van Gogh died, his brother passed away in a Dutch asylum. -
Bravo!
Although a tragic accident has recently occured to many differnent people. Everyone still recondnizes him as the greatest Dutch artist that ever lived. And he his still remembered for his hero like atrobutes and how much he cared for his paintings and the people around him. -
Van Gogh's Paintings
Van Gogh was more of an artist that liked dark and gloomy coloures because thats what his lifed was based on. In my opinion, artist's need to be inspired by something, and Van Gogh really did not have anything to really inspire. Exept all the other colourful painting's in the museum he used to live in with his brother. -
Examples Of Van Gogh's Painting's
