Vincent Van Gogh was born in
Groot-Zundert, Netherlands, son of a small town preacher. He
began his working life employed by Groupil & Cie, an
international art dealer, but then left to consider a career
with the church as his religious zeal grew. In 1879, having
grown disenchanted with both formal religious education and
the evangelist path, he decided to become an arist. Over the
course of the next ten years, before he took his own life,
he produced an enormous body of work. While it is not quite
true that he never sold a piece of art, during his lifetime
his primary supporters were his brother Theo and other
artists. Van Gogh also relied on Theo for financial support.
While some art historians question how much of Van Gogh
current popularity is due to romantic mythology around the
"insane genius", his work is unquestionably powerful and
unique.
His use of paint was
extremely physical (it is a shame one cannot get a sense of
the thick, powerful, green swirls around the head in the
above self-portrait)-- a benefit of never having learned
painting, he wrote his brother in 1882 -- and his artistic
style is as intense and intelligent as his writings. Among
other painters, he greatly respected Millet, Delacroix, and
Daumier.
