Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890)
|
| |
| Although
the names of Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh are coupled as pioneers
of modern expressionism and as typical of the supreme Individualism
of the artist, it is difficult to envisage two personalities
wore different. Whereas Gauguin was an iconoclast, caustic in
apeech, cynical, indifferent, and, at times, brutal to others,
Van Gogh was filled with a spirit of naive enthusiasm for his
fellow artists and overwhelming love for his follow men. This
love had led him, after a short-lived experience as an art dealer
and an attempt to follow theological studies, to become a lay
preacher in a Belgian coal-mining area. |
|
| There he first began to draw in
1880. After study in Brussels, The Hague, and Antwerp, he went
to Paris in 1886. where he met Toulouse-Lautrec, Seurat. Signac,
and Gauguin, as well as members of the. original impressionist
group. |
