  Vincent Van Gogh is often remembered as the painter who cut off his ear in a fit of passion.He was a lonely man who often   1   without food in order to buy paints, a man with few friends and a   2   temper.Van Gogh’s strong emotions not only   3   his life, but his paintings.Many of Van Gogh’s paintings were   4   by warm, yellow sunlight because he loved how it could   5   the world in different ways.His painting Sunflowers for example, is   6   yellows and browns.These colors give the painting a   7   of warmth.However, the sunflowers are   8   dead and dying.

  The result is a painting that   9   the warmth of life that Van Gogh loved with the feelings of   10   that were all around him.It is a painting that is warm, beautiful and sad, all at the same time.

  Van Gogh’s most famous painting, The Starry Night,   11   this mixture of joy and sadness one step   12  .It is a landscape full of deep   13   and shadows which showed the sadness Van Gogh was feeling as he was painting,   14   what he was actually seeing.

  This is why Van Gogh’s   15   in his painting look more imagined than real.The stars and moon in The Starry Night are   16   bright, their light swirling above the darkening hills.A tree that looks like black fire cuts through the   17   of the night, interrupting its beauty.

  Because of his wild emotions, Van Gogh was not   18   during his life.He sold only one painting.However, people today who stand in front of Sunflowers or The Starry Night can   19   the same joy and sadness Van Gogh once did,   20   he painted those deep blues and sunny yellows.
