Van Gogh was a famous painter. His work is sometimes described as Post Impressionism (后印象主义),” which means that his style of painting is similar to the Impressionism paintings. The “Impressionism paintings” were made only a few years before he started. But Van Gogh added his own ideas that were different from them. His style was very personal. Though he was influenced by many kinds of artists, he made few lasting friendships with any of them and was almost always alone.
Van Gogh lived a hard life. Only one of his paintings was sold in his lifetime and he was never to financially(经济上地)support himself. His brother, Then, often helped him, and the friends of his brother’s would help him as well. People who knew him would often describe him as a difficult person and hardly happy. His paintings, however, use very lively colors and sometimes seem pleasant.
It was in his paintings that Van Gogh was able to express himself clearly. Most of his relationships in life fell apart quickly. There are many sad stories of Van Gogh attempting to get married. Every woman refused him. The famous painter, Gaugin, went to visit him after Van Gogh had written to him, asking for a visit. When Gaugin arrived, Van Gogh was very excited. Gaugin respected Van Gogh’s talent, but the friendship only lasted a few months. The friendship ended when Van Gogh fought him with a knife.
No one had ever painted the way Van Gogh did. The colors of his paintings were lively and the shapes were strange and dream- like. His life was just as strange as his art, and it ended very early. However, since his death, his paintings have become some of the most famous artworks in the world.

Perhaps Vincent van Gogh (1853 -1890) isn’t the most famous artist in the world, but his personal story is probably the most well-known. The paintings he created didn’t become famous until after he died.
Van Gogh was born to a rich family in the Netherlands (荷兰). He started his career working for an art dealer(艺术品商). But then he tried other things like teaching in England. He also tried to become a priest (牧师) but failed the exams.
Finally, he found something else to believe in when he lived in Belgium (比利时) — art. He returned to his childhood love of painting and drawing.
He was an important artist in a generation that challenged the Impressionist (印象派) style. Post-Impressionists, like Van Gogh, wanted to show the world as it felt to them, not always as it looked.
Van Gogh used different forms and colors to make his art more abstract. The way he used colors was especially impressive. In Wheatfield with Crows (1890), the colors are very intense (强烈的). Corn is yellow, grass is green, and crows (乌鸦) are black. But the colors are used in such a way that it looks better than a photograph.
Unfortunately, Van Gogh’s art wasn’t very popular while he was alive. He was poor and was thought to have mental problems, which led to his death. What had made him so sad? It could have been the troubles he faced working as an artist in a practical world.
