Perhaps Vincent van Gogh (1853 -1890) isn’t the most famous artist in the world, but his personal story is probably the most well-known. The paintings he created didn’t become famous until after he died.

Van Gogh was born to a rich family in the Netherlands (荷兰). He started his career working for an art dealer(艺术品商). But then he tried other things like teaching in England. He also tried to become a priest (牧师) but failed the exams.

Finally, he found something else to believe in when he lived in Belgium (比利时) — art. He returned to his childhood love of painting and drawing.

He was an important artist in a generation that challenged the Impressionist (印象派) style. Post-Impressionists, like Van Gogh, wanted to show the world as it felt to them, not always as it looked.

Van Gogh used different forms and colors to make his art more abstract. The way he used colors was especially impressive. In Wheatfield with Crows (1890), the colors are very intense (强烈的). Corn is yellow, grass is green, and crows (乌鸦) are black. But the colors are used in such a way that it looks better than a photograph.

Unfortunately, Van Gogh’s art wasn’t very popular while he was alive. He was poor and was thought to have mental problems, which led to his death. What had made him so sad? It could have been the troubles he faced working as an artist in a practical world.
