Vincent Van Gogh was born on March 30th of 1853 and died July 29, 1890. He was born in Groot Zundert, in the Netherlands. When Vincent was growing up, he was an introvert and did not like socializing. He was a unique and unusual man. He did not start painting until he was 27 years old. Vincent’s brother, Theo, helped him emotionally and financially as he started his new art career. Van Gogh wore tattered clothes and he had a habit of being moody and stubborn. He didn’t interact well with the others around him. Everyone always thought that he was different and unusual. The people in Arles actually signed a petition to have Vincent removed from town. He wasn’t accepted by the people around him.
Vincent Van Gogh was a very talented artist with a lot of pieces. He made many great works of art to show the world. Even though some of his neighbors may have felt he was crazy, he was able to get inspiration from many different scenes and objects. Van Gogh was able to leave behind him, many different types of art and many different art works that can be enjoyed by everyone. Although Van Gogh was practically a self taught artist, he did very well with what he discovered for himself. He was able to believe in himself and grow to his own ability. Yes Van Gogh had financial help from his brother, but that just shows tat they had a loving relationship. It means that his brother supported his career decision. I believe that people will remember him today because his work is so natural and it is easy to relate to. His art work has a sense of the real world that people have lived in or wish to live in now. Anytime someone can relate to something, they are more likely to appreciate the thought or gesture. Vincent Van Gogh was an outstanding artist and his work will be in memory for a long time to come.
