Paintings By This Artist

Vincent van Gogh
1853-1890


Van Gogh's brief nine-year career began in the Netherlands. His early works were dark but later became intensely luminous after he moved to Paris and the south of France. A great collector of Japanese prints, he created an expressive style that combined direct observation with a Japanese use of outline and flattened areas of colour. Plagued by poor health, he committed suicide at the age of 37.
