Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853- 1890), also known as "Van Gogh" in Chinese, is a Dutch post-impressionist painter. Born in a Protestant family, he was a pioneer of post-impressionism, which had a far-reaching influence on the art of the 20th century, especially the fauvism and expressionism.

Artistic feature

Oil painting techniques use stippling. This painting is strong in color and bright in tone. Later, inspired by the innovative literary trend of thought and Japanese painting, he boldly explored, freely expressed his inner feelings, pursued the expressive force of lines and colors, and pursued the plane sense, decoration and implication of the picture. Van Gogh's works contain profound tragic consciousness, strong personality and unique pursuit of form, and all forms jump and twist under the control of fierce spirit.

At that time, although his works were difficult to be accepted by people, they had a far-reaching impact on the painting art of the 20th century in the West. At the same time, it also has a positive impact on modern people.

This painting is strong in color and bright in tone. Fauvism, German Expressionism and Lyrical Abstraction in the early 20th century were all inspired by his main role in the creative process, the free expression of inner feelings, the relatively independent value grasp of consciousness and form, and the absorption and extraction of oriental painting factors in oil paintings, thus forming their own different painting schools.

Van Gogh abandoned all the acquired knowledge, ignored the dogma cherished by the academic school, and even forgot his own reason. In his eyes, there is only a vibrant natural landscape, and he is intoxicated with it and forgets things. He regards everything in the world as an inseparable whole, and he embraces everything with all his body and mind. Van Gogh became a highly personalized painter very late, only eight years before his death.
