Biography Vincent van Gohg was born on 30 March 1853 in a village in the south of the Netherlands. He was the oldest child of Theodorus van Gogh, a minister of the Church, and Anna Cornelia Carbentus. He had two brothers: Theodorus and Cor, and three sisters: Elisabeth, Anna and Willemina. As a child, Vincent was serious, silent and thoughtful. According to the governess’ words there was something strange in Vincent that distinguished him from other children. Vincent in the age of 13 Theodorus van Gogh Vincent in the age of 19

Before becoming a painter he was a teacher. He started painting when he was twenty-seven. In 1886 he left Holland joined his young brother Theo, who lived in Paris. Here he painted some of his most famous pictures. After living there for two years he moved to the South of France, because the climate was warmer there. The house where Van Gogh stayed in Cuesmes in 1880; while living here he decided to become an artist

But Van Gogh was mentally ill. During one of his fits of madness he attacked his friend, the artist Paul Gaugin. In another fit of madness, he cut off part of his own ear. Eventually he went into a mental hospital but he didn't get any better. Finally, on Sunday 27 th July 1890, in the small village Vincent Van Gogh took a gun. He went into a cornfield and shot himself. Thirty-six hours later Van Gogh died in his brother's arms. His last words were: "I hope I did it properly". Nobody has ever painted cornfields or sunflowers like Van Gogh. His paintings are full of colour and sunlight. Today his paintings are worth millions of pounds but in his lifetime he only sold one.

Work Pictures of any artist is his face, a window to his soul. Vincent van Gogh created surprisingly truthful pictures. At the same time there is always something untold in them, a certain riddle which Van Gogh suggests to solve to the viewer. For his short life Van Gogh drew more than 900 pictures and approximately as much drawings. This is an impressive number, considering that they were created during a short period. Vincent van Gohg worked in post-impressionalism movement. Post-Impressionists extended Impressionism rejecting its limitations: they continued using vivid colours, often thick application of paint, and real-life subject matter, but they were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, to distort form for expressive effect, and to use unnatural or arbitrary colours. Artists of this direction didn't adhere to only visual impressions, and sought to transfer generally and freely materiality of the world, resorted to decorative stylization.

SELF-PORTRAITS Van Gogh created many self-portraits during his life. He was a prolific selfportraitist, who painted himself 160 times. In all, the gaze of the painter is seldom directed at the viewer; even when it is a fixed gaze, he appears to look elsewhere. The paintings vary in intensity and color and some portray the artist with beard, some beardless, some with bandages – depicting the episode in which he severed a portion of his ear. All of the self-portraits painted in Saint-Rémy show the artist's head from the right, the side opposite his mutilated ear, as he painted himself reflected in his mirror.

Simple at first sight "Sunflowers" at all aren't a traditional still life. The plain vase and the flowers which have been written out by dense dabs, seem convex, shades of the yellow and brown reflects the painful and becoming thinner with every moment of life thirst of the artist for pleasure and light. The surprising view of the world around, transferring beauty of simple things by the art genius, in full sense characterizes Van Gogh.

There is the cafe terrace on the area a forum in Arl (France) In a picture. The picture represents a classical example of analogy in art. There are three lines going from the left part to the center of composition allocated. These lines are parallel that contradicts all laws of prospect. Nevertheless, Van Gogh establishes own rules. Lines of the Night terrace of cafe bear in themselves the message, emphasizing two-regularity of a picture. Vincent van Gogh represents stars in the sky in the form of flowers. It seems that all people who have been on the area treat kindly to each other.

There is a landscape at night in this picture which passed through "filter" of creative vision of the artist. The main elements of "Starry night" are stars and the moon. They are represented is most expressed and first of all attract to itself attention. Besides, Van Gogh applied special equipment to creation of the moon and stars. There are high trees (cypresses) in the foreground of "Starry night". They as though want to leave Earth and to join dance of stars and the moon. On the right in a picture the inconspicuous settlement which was stretched at a foot of hills in the silence of the night is represented, it is indifferent to light and rough movement of stars.

Vincent van Gogh is one of the most popular and great painter of all time. His command of colours is the most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but he could use all his passion and pain to portray the joy and magnificence of our world. No one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world’s greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.
