On the very rare occasions that a painting by Vincent van Gogh is put up

for sale,the work invariably sells for millions of dollars.His paintings

have shatteredauction records around the world-all the more ironic,

then,that he lived a life of grinding poverty.Indeed,it is thought that he only

sold one painting in his entire life-though he did give many away to his friends and

admirers.His psychological problems

and deep unhappiness inform his

paintings,yet they are not pictures of

gloom and despair.Van Gogh painted

sunshine and color and life in all its

vibrant manifestations.

In his early works Vincent only showed

flashes of his talent as he copied the work

of other artists.It was not until he moved

first to Paris and then the south of France

that his startling originality burst through

onto his canvases in paintings of

uninhibited exuberance.

Vincent van Gogh's strikingly gaunt

features are easily recognizable from his many self-portraits-over 40.His short red

hair and beard,prominent nose,and staring,unflinching,green eyes appear

to carry an introspective,self-composed look,as if challenging and daring the

onlooker to understand him.He longed to be recognized and accepted as an artist

and craved the company of other artists.In his lifetime he painted about 870

paintings-the exact number is unknown because a number of works attributed to

him are disputed and a number were lost or destroyed in his lifetime.Interestingly,

van Gogh only signed paintings that he considered were finished,so many

paintings do not bear his flourishing "Vincent" signature.

Van Gogh thought and cared deeply

about his art and repeatedly attacked

artistic problems until he arrived at a

satisfactory conclusion.However,he

has been accused of actively embracing

the role of mad genius and tortured

artistic soul to such an extent that he

deliberately encouraged bouts of insanity

to add to his artistic credentials.

Vincent loved painting outdoors where

he could feel Nature and felt his function

was to show the process of creation.The

seasons are fundamental to his paintings-

there is frequently an indication of the

time of year in his work.

Vincent Willem van Gogh was descended from a long line of Dutch Reform

Church pastors.He was born the first of six children on March 30,1853,to

Theodorus and Anna.They lived happily in the vicarage at Groot Zundert near

Breda,in Brabant where they lived a

safe,pious,modest,hard working,

respectable middle-class life.In later

years he would look back on this time

with great nostalgia and affection.

As well as the church,the other van

Gogh family business was art-three of his

uncles were art dealers.In 1869,at age

16,Vincent became an apprentice at

The Hague branch of Goupil εt Cie,

one of the leading art dealers in Europe.

In 1873 his brother Theo,four years his

junior,also joined the firm.

As a reward for his hard work Vincent

was transferred to the London branch in

summer 1873.But a long way from his

family his acute loneliness provoked

what would become a life-long struggle

against melancholy and depression.

During this period Vincent started a

regular correspondence with Theo,

who kept over 800 of his letters ensuring

that Vincent's state of mind is well

documented.

Theo was Vincent's anchor-he relied

on him utterly,valued his opinions,

and in short,idolized him.He wrote

to him but also painted for him;indeed,

he saw Theo as being a co-creator in his

paintings.

In about 1873 Vincent was rejected in

love and this seems to be the turning

point for his mania;he became isolated

and taciturn,and started to read the

Bible obsessively.His family became

increasingly worried by the unsettling

tone of his letters and arranged for his

transfer to the Paris branch of Goupil's

Thanks in part to his religious fanaticism,

the transfer was not a success and the

company dismissed him

By spring 1877 Vincent had decided to

become a clergyman and moved to

Amsterdam where he studied Latin,

V A N G O G H

Greek,and mathematics.But he gave up when it became obvious that he would

fail his examinations.Immersed in piety he identified with St Paul and rejected

worldly preoccupations.His personal hygiene suffered and he looked increasingly

unkempt and disreputable.His family despaired of him:his father took him

home many times to try to calm him down with the peace and quiet of home life,

but the effects were at best only temporary.

Finally,the family agreed that Vincent

should try lay preaching,and he was

sent to the Borinage,a desperately poor

Belgian mining district:Vincent was

thrilled at the prospect.While there,he

lived the life of an ascetic-his food bread

and water;his home,a near—derelict

hut.He gave away most of his clothes

to needy miners and generally alarmed

his superiors so much with his religious

enthusiasm that the Evangelical

Committee declined to renew his contract.

However,and perhaps more importantly

to him,Vincent was accepted by the miners and their families.

Vincent himself recognized that he was not suited to lay preaching and decided to

dedicate himself to art instead.He moved to Brussels(with what was to become

regular financial help from Theo)to study art at the non-fee paying Brussels

Academy.While there he practiced drawing exercises and copied well-known

paintings to improve his technique.His relieved family generally approved,and

allowed him to move back home.But he was impossible to live with,his father

despaired of him,and he was asked to leave.He had fallen desperately in love

with his recently widowed cousin,Kee. She and the family were horrified at his

protestations of love which were so

improper in such a very conventional and

moral environment.A terrible family

argument on Christmas Day 1881 resulted

in Vincent leaving home and moving to

The Hague.

Still a young and inexperienced painter

Vincent's early work was conventional-

often still lives of rustic simplicity and

rather somber colors.He left the Brussels

Academy and began to self teach through

the use of art instruction books.He also

enjoyed copying illustrations,particularly

the agricultural compositions of

romantic social realism by Jean-Frangois Millet and Jules Breton.

Craving feminine company Vincent became attached to a 30-year old prostitute

called Sien(Clasina Maria Hoomik)Condemned as a fallen woman by society,

she welcomed his support as she had a young daughter and was expecting another

baby.

It seems that Vincent was attracted to her by the very things that alienated her from

society-her suffering,her profession,her

poverty,even her smallpox-ravaged face.

His family were outraged but he was content,

although they had no income except Theo's

monthly allowance,since Vincent succeeded

in stopping Sien working the streets while he

painted-often from dawn to dusk-but without

selling any work

Vincent took to painting outside(a new

convention)around the fringes of The

Hague,in particular seaside scenes with

fishermen and boats.He enjoyed working

close to the elements and would return home

with sand caked into his paint.But the family

regularly went without food and Vincent

became so weak that he was unable to work.

Frustrated as Vincent bought art materials

rather than food,Sien returned to

prostitution-much to Vincent's disapproval.

Theo was appalled bytheir poverty and

squalor and convinced Vincent that the only

way he could devote himself to painting was to leave Sien.They had been together

20 months,but Vincent acknowledged the wisdom of parting and moved away to

live alone in Drente,an unfashionable remote

rural region of Holland.He stayed for three

months during which time he empathized and

admired the underprivileged workmen and

craftsmen in their daily toil with their dignity,

solidarity,and work ethic.He painted the

peasants at work in the fields and their

cottages set in the flat windswept landscape.

But melancholia was his constant companion-

he was depressed and felt guilty about leaving

Sien and in his painting he was searching for

simplicity and truth.

Rural isolation was not the answer and in

December 1883 Vincent returned to his

parents who were now living in the village of

Nuenen in Brabant.He stayed for two years,

the longest period he spent anywhere as an

artist.The stay was punctuated with

arguments with his father-mostly about

society and conformity.He gravitated to the

poor peasants in the village-many of them

weavers-and was more readily accepted by them than his bourgeois peers.

In February 1884 Vincent agreed to send his paintings to Theo in Paris in

exchange for money orders of 150 francs a month.They continued this

transaction for Vincent's life even through their

periods of estrangement.This did not preclude

Vincent's frequent requests for more money-to

pay his models or for more materials.Then,

suddenly,in March 1885 Vincent's father died

of a stroke,aged 63.Family and villagers felt

Vincent was at least partially responsible.In

May he left the family home to rent a studio

nearby.

The following month Vincent painted his first

real masterpiece."The Potato Eaters". All the

while he was thinking about the principles and

practice of art,which in turn made him

frustrated with his inability to interpret his ideas

on canvas.Local politics and social niceties

were getting him down and Vincent started to

hanker for the excitement of city life.Paris at

this time was a magnet for artists,both of the

old conventional school as well as those at the

leading edge of modem painting.In October

he left for Paris,arriving there in February 1886 via Amsterdam and Antwerp. He

moved in with Theo in Montmartre,and the brothers became closer than even.

Theo was making hisname as a specialist dealer in the work of young artists,and

Vincent was able to introduce him into avant garde circles

Vincent met and made friends with numerous

artists and his paintings became more colorful

and optimistic.He was popular among his

contemporaries and his unconventional looks

and manners fitted perfectly with the notion of

how an artist should behave.His Paris period

was very prolific:in all he painted almost 230

works there,many of them experiments with

techniques and coloring developed by the

Impressionists.But,on the negative side,it

was in Paris that he started drinking heavily.

Vincent's primary influence at this time was

Japan and all things Japanese.Japan had

become a major cultural influence in the West

since the 1867 Paris World Fair and artists were

particularly susceptible to the new style.Van

Gogh had collected Japanese prints of the

Ukiyoye School since his days in Antwerp and

while in Paris collected literally hundreds of

Japanese woodcuts.He copied a number of his

favorite prints,particularly liking their decorative quality,with blocks of color,

forms of contrast,unusual perspectives and use of space.All this had a profound

Page 10: 46954534 Vincent Van Gogh

V A N G O G H

influence on his own style as he later wrote from Arles in summer 1888,"My

whole work is founded on the Japanese,so to speak..in its homeland Japanese

art is in a state of decline.but it is putting down new roots in French

Impressionism."

Unable to journey to Japan,

Vincent did what he

considered the next best

thing:he went to the South

of France.He wanted to

unite art and life.His first

destination was Aries where

he stayed in guesthouses.By

1888 he was painting very fast

and with great confidence.

He was happy at last-working

every day,painting whatever

was in front of him.This is

the period of his principal

masterpieces;his paintings

are full of intense color,not

just because of the southern

light but as a continuation of

his Japanese influence,in deference to which he painted no shadows in his work.

Working feverishly every day he soon needed somewhere to store his canvases,

so in September 1888 he rented four rooms for 15 francs a month to use as a studio

in what became known as the"yellow house"on the Place Lamartine.Vincent was

soon sketching,using pen and ink drawings-an economy measure,in part so he

could during bouts of

madness.reduce his

financial dependence on

Theo who was having a

difficult time at work.

Typically he would work very

quickly,but he planned all

the elements first,and then

would attack the project.

one reason why his paintings

and drawings have such

immediacy and vigor

Physically,Vincent's work

was taking a heavy toll:he

was living on coffee, alcohol,

nicotine, and not much else.

He suffered from hangovers

and there were times he

couldn't think clearly.As he got worse he experienced hallucinations

In July 1888 Vincent received some money with which he renovated and.

furnished the"yellow house."He was excitedly anticipating a stay by fellow artist

Page 11: 46954534 Vincent Van Gogh

V A N G O G H

Paul Gauguin and was hoping to persuade him to remain there,the first of what

he hoped would become an artists' colony.The famous sunflower paintings were

produced to decorate the house and to show off his artistic ability and his friend

was gratifyingly impressed.

Gauguin reluctantly arrived in

Arles on October 23 he was to

spend two near fruitless months

there.They did not get on as

well as Vincent had hoped.

Gauguin felt superior both as an

artist and as a person,and hated

the provinciality and lack of

sophistication of Aries.

Vincent was distraught at the

way their relationship

deteriorated.On the evening of

December 23 he cut off his right

earlobe, wrapped it in newspaper,

walked to the local brothel, and

presented it to Rachel,a

prostitute there.She called the police who took him to hospital.He was lucky

not to bleed to death as he had severed an artery.The following morning Gauguin

left without seeing Vincent.They did not meet again although they resumed a

sporadic correspondence.

Vincent was critically ill for a time but within two weeks had regained his strength

and resumed his former life.

The nature of Vincent's illness

has been widely speculated upon

but nouncontested conclusion

has been reached.During

seizure he heard strange sounds

and voices-this might have been

schizophrenia,alcoholism,

syphilis,or something else

entirely:his physicians thought

it was epikpsy. In February 1889

he suffered a bout of paranoia so

severe that he was hospitalized

for ten days.Some 80 or so

people from Aries petitioned the

city authorities claiming that

Vincent Was a "public menace"

and demanded that they lock

him up.In late February he was hospitalized as a lunatic.

Although his dementia only came in bouts Vincent voluntarily entered the

monastery of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole,an asylum at Saint-Rdmy,a few miles north

Page 12: 46954534 Vincent Van Gogh

V A N G O G H

of Arles.He Was well aware of the romantic stereotype of the artist tortured by

talent. It is hard to say whether he deliberately lived up to this image, but hewrote to

Theo assuring him that he was still himself apart from occasional mental lapses.

While hospitalized Vincent was

supervised at all times and was not

allowed to leave the hospital to find

subject matter to paint.In fact he

was rarely allowed to have his

painting materials at a11.He

missed his work terribly, but unable

to search for inspiration,he turned

to copying his sunflowers and

painted three more versions.

Otherwise he painted views of the

hospital and gardens.

The asylum provided him with

much needed isolation and

prevented him from abusing drink

and tobacco.His painting had

become his survival technique and

his output was ceaseless.He tried

to use the energy created by his madness as a positive force in his art.It was while

here that Vincent started using circular strokes and snaking lines on his paintings.

These have been interpreted as signs of his mental instability and obsessive nature.

His bouts of insanity convinced him to turn his back on the world but as his health

improved he was allowed to go beyond the asylum precincts.

While incarcerated at Saint—Rémy, Vincent produced 140 paintings,but only

signed seven of them.His

recurring themes were now

landscapes featuring olive groves,

cypress trees,and the mountains

of the Alpilles.

All this time hispaintings were

being stockpiled,a number of

them in Paris with Theo and another

pile with.Pére Tanguy.People

had heard about Vincent's work

and a buzz was starting.He

submitted two paintings."Irises"

and"Starry Night over the Rhone"

to the fifth exhibition held by the

Salon des Inédpendants in

September 1889.It got him

noticed, but Vincent forbade Theo

to release any but minimal

information about himself, even to publicize his work.

Then ten paintings were shown at the sixth Salon des Indépendants exhibition

and Vincent was lauded as one of the young lions of modern art.But success

Page 13: 46954534 Vincent Van Gogh

V A N G O G H

panicked him:he feared that its price would be too high in suffering.Greatly

alarmed,he returned to copying paintings by the great masters,especially Millet

and Delacroix,but putting his own interpretations into the work.

Vincent stayed in the asylum for a year.According to the director he was calm

and quiet for much of the time but painted obsessively.

He suffered four mental episodes when he was

overwhelmed by fears and paranoia.When this

happened,he would steal and drink kerosene intended

for the lamps and swallow toxic paint.But he had started

to long to go home,back to the cooler,greyer, north.

On May 16,1890 he set off,alone,for Paris.

Arriving in Paris at Theo's house Vincent seemed well

and happy to catch up with his family and friends.He

decamped to the rural town of Auvers-sur-Oise just

outside Paris on May 20 and started painting immediately.

Just as he had hoped,his paintings came out calmer

without the frenetic brushwork of recent times.

Vincent spent two months in Auvers,during which he

painted eighty works and seemed (from his letters )

remarkably content.But on the evening of July 27,

1890,he shot himself in the chest with a revolver-where the gun came from and

where he was when he shot himself no one knows.Badly injured,he returned to

his rented room.Theo rushed to his side the following day,the 28th.He found

Vincent in bed,contentedly smoking his pipe.His last words are recorded as,

"I wish it were all over now." He died on July 29.1890 aged 37.

There is no apparent reason for Vincent's suicide.many theories have been

posited but none are entirely convincing.It is possible that he did it for Theo who

was unappreciated by his employers and struggling at work.Vincent had been his

life-long financial burden unable to repay him in any way

except friendship Furthermore,Vincent knew and was

appalled by the way an artist's paintings leapt up in value

the moment the artist died.He was leaving a large legacy

of paintings to Theo and his family and maybe saw this as

the only way to truly help them.

His coffin lay in his room above the inn,decorated

with sunflowers and yellow dahlias and his last paintings

were hung on the surrounding walls.He was buried the

next day in Auvers cemetery.Theo was devastated.

Two months later he was seized by delirium and within six

months,he,too,was dead.In 1914 his widow had

him reinterred beside Vincent in Auvers.He died

without knowing that Vincent van Gogh would soon be

acknowledged as one of the greatest artists of all time.

文森特·凡高Vincent van Gogh(1853~1890年)出生于荷兰赞德特镇一个新教牧师之家,24岁

之前,曾在海牙、伦敦、巴黎等地的古匹尔画店当店员。后来成为传教士,在比利时西南部的博里纳日矿区传教,由于同情和支持穷苦矿工的要求而被解职。在度过了一段极度失望和贫困的生活后,他决定在艺术的探求中完成自我的解脱。1880年以后,他到处求学,向比利时皇家美术学院求教,向荷兰风景画家安东·莫夫学,但最后还是决定自学。他克服种种困难,努力按自己的认识表现世界。在1886年以前,他的作品还都处于探索的时期,代表作有《吃土豆的人》、《纺织工》等。1886年凡 ·高随他担任古匹尔画店高级职员的弟弟来到巴黎,结识了图鲁兹一劳特累克、高更、毕沙罗、修拉和塞尚,并参加印象主义画家们的集会。从而使艺术眼界大为开阔,开始以完全不同于过去的方法作画,画面色彩强烈,色调明亮。在他的画中,总是一片色彩和笔触的狂欢,这种画面所造成的气氛效果表现出一种罕见的旺盛的生命力。1888年2月,他同高更结伴同行,到法国南部的阿尔写生作画,长达一年之久。这是他艺术风格形成的最重要的时期,南国的强烈阳光和阳光照耀下的市镇、田野、花朵、河流、农舍和教堂,使他禁不住一遍又一遍地高喊:“明亮一些,再明亮一些!” 他和高更这时已经同印象主义的观点发生分歧,却同时对表现主义或者象征主义发生浓厚的兴趣。因此,曾经有过建立“南方印象主义”或者“印象主义分离派”的打算。后来因为2人的关系恶化,高更离去,凡·高在发生割下自己耳朵的事件之后精神逐渐分裂。因此,他们没有结成任何团体。 1890年,经过圣雷米的德莫索尔精神病院的长期住院治疗,病势稍有好转后,凡·高回到巴黎,住在瓦兹河畔的奥韦尔,接受伽塞医生的专门治疗,并勤奋作画,作有《伽塞医生肖象》、《奥韦尔的教堂》等。但是,在1890年十月27日,在同伽塞医生发生争吵之后,突然开枪自杀,结束了自己的生命。
