compared to the extensive information about American artists.
A colorist whose signature work reflected his personal struggle with
madness, Vincent Van Gogh found little praise for his art during his
lifetime, and with little self-confidence and plagued by depression and
unhappy personal relationships, took his life when he was 37 years
old.
He was born in Holland to a family of culture and religious conviction
reinforced by the father who was a pastor. Van Gogh worked as a
bookstore clerk, a preacher and an art-store salesman (showing 500 of 2265 characters). |
