Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) always wanted to be a painter, however he never sold a painting in his career. He studied impressionism in Paris, France. Later he moved to the south of France to paint when he could not make a living from his work. His brother, an art dealer, helped Van Gogh out many times by buying his paintings. Van Gogh is known for his painting with bright colors. Many of his paintings are of the landscape where he lived as well as self-portraits of himself. He is also known for his sunflower paintings and cypress trees. |
