Van Gogh, the Dutch artist, is famous for his amazing use of color and shape. Born in 1853, he was painting at a time when art was changing. A long time ago, artists tried to make their paintings look real like photographs. But later on, art became more about the artist’s own ideas. If you see a Van Gogh, it won’t look like the real world. It will look even more beautiful.
Some of Van Gogh’s most famous paintings are of the nature and flowers, such as Sunflowers. He also painted many wonderful self-portraits (自画像). However, Van Gogh was a troubled man. At one point, he cut off his own ear.
Van Gogh is now one of the world’s most famous artists. But he died at the age of 37, alone and poor. Almost nobody knew or cared about his art at that time. Some say that his madness was the price he paid for his art.
