van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh, in full Vincent Willem van Gogh,
(born March 30, 1853, Zundert, Netherlands—died July 29, 1890, Auvers-sur-Oise,
near Paris, France), Dutch painter, generally considered the greatest after Rembrandt
van Rijn, and one of the
greatest of the Post-Impressionists. The striking colour, emphatic brushwork, and contoured forms of his work powerfully influenced the
current of Expressionism in modern art. Van Gogh’s art became
astoundingly popular after his death, especially in the late 20th century, when
his work sold for record-breaking sums at auctions around the world and was
featured in blockbuster touring exhibitions. In part because of his extensive
published letters, van Gogh has also been mythologized in the popular
imagination as the quintessential tortured artist.
