Evolution of Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh was a unique artist who worked with a sense of urgency which often caused him a great deal of stress. He was famed for his bold, dramatic brush strokes which expressed emotion and added a feeling of movement to his work. His drawings are special due to the fact that his depiction of figures, light, and landscape can be admired without the need for color. However, Van Gogh`s work did not always feature this familiar aesthetic. Instead, it was shaped over time, evolving with each phase of his short life. After relocating to the Netherlands, Van Gogh began taking art lessons from artist Anton Mauve. Inspired by Realism, he became a “peasant painter,” producing gritty depictions of life in the countryside. the painting`s dark hues and unpleasant subject matter did not appeal to French. To remedy this, Van decided to join Theo in Paris, where he would work with artist Fernand Cormon and brightened up his palette.
