Vincent Van Gogh generally considered the greatest
Dutch painter after Rembrandt; he powerfully influenced the current of Expressionism
in modern art. His work, all of it produced during a period of only 10 years, hauntingly
conveys through its striking colour, coarse brushwork, and contoured forms the anguish
of a mental illness that eventually resulted in suicide.
In February 1888 Vincent van Gogh settled at Arles, where he painted more than 200
canvases in 15 months. During this time he sold no pictures, was in poverty, and
suffered recurrent nervous crisis with hallucinations and depression. He became
enthusiastic for the idea of founding an artists' co-operative at Arles and towards
the end of the year he was joined by Gauguin. But as a result of a quarrel between
them Vincent van Gogh suffered the crisis in which occured the famous incident when
he cut off his left ear (or part of it), an event commemorated in his Self-Portrait
with Bandaged Ear
In May 1889 he went at his own request into an asylum at St Rémy, near Arles,
but continued during the year he spent there a frenzied production of tumultuous
pictures such as Starry Night (MOMA, New York). He did 150 paintings besides
drawings in the course of this year. In 1889 Theo married and in May 1890Vincent
van Gogh moved to Auvers-sur-Oise to be near him, lodging with the patron and connoisseur
Dr Paul Gachet. There followed another tremendous burst of strenuous activity and
during the last 70 days of his life he painted 70 canvases. But his spiritual anguish
and depression became more acute and on 29 July 1890 he died from the results of
a self-inflicted bullet wound.
