"Everything I create toward nature is chestnut, taken out of fire. Ah, those who do not believe in the sun are those who have turned their backs on God." - Vincent van Gogh
One of Cai Qin's concerts, when the reverberation lingered and then came to an abrupt end, people responded with enthusiastic applause. However, she said: "What you know is my song, what you don't know is my life, and my life is not important to you." I think if this sentence came from Van Gogh's mouth, it would not be inconsistent. Feelings - "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" sold for $82.5 million, "Self-Portrait without a beard" sold for $71.5 million... When people talk about his record-breaking auction prices today, the painting was only sold during his lifetime. The only work sold for 400 francs is less known. Vincent van Gogh's life is the most tragic yet brilliant life that people have ever experienced. His life story is like the sunflower in full bloom in his pen, inspiring people to love life, long for life, and dare to pursue dreams.
Van Gogh is not like Rembrandt, who became famous at a young age. He emerged at a young age; nor did Picasso receive orthodox art training to become a master. Van Gogh worked as a clerk in a gallery when he was young. Not good, he had wanted to be a pastor like his father but couldn't get an appointment because he wouldn't please his teachers... When he first made up his mind to pick up a paintbrush, he was 27 years old, and from a toddler to a generation Master, he only spent eight years. In the few years when he began to learn painting, Van Gogh did not have a picture album to copy or a teacher to guide him. He used color clumsily like a rude, and the paintbrush covered with paint became a tool for laborers in his hands. Like being dug and shoveled; the arrogant Van Gogh experienced four failed loves and was at odds with his family. He simply signed Vincent's name on the painting in order to communicate with "Van Gogh"—— His famous family in Holland distanced himself, and only his younger brother Theo was the only one who selflessly supported him in his painting career and life throughout his life. Van Gogh's early paintings were dark and gloomy, just like his desolate life. There were painters who ridiculed him that he couldn't even draw a decent straight line. However, after being kissed by the Impressionists, Van Gogh's Dutch frog became A prince who is good at using color to sway the canvas! In Arles and Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh ushered in the peak of his artistic career, where the bright orange-red in "Café at Night" and "Self-Portrait with a Cut Ear", and the brilliant bright light in "Sunset and the Sower" Yellow, the deep blue in "The Starry Night" and "The Orville Church"... Vincent turned his thoughts on painting, aesthetics and life into waves and bursts of colorful colors, which were baked by the sun Enthusiasm is the determination to break through the shackles and long for freedom, the splendor and splendor of deconstructing loneliness and loving life!
Van Gogh's personal life accompanied by hunger, poverty and loneliness is in stark contrast to his bright and eye-catching works. He is a magician who dyes life with the dazzling yellow dots of the sun. When you are in front of his paintings, you will feel the rhythm of vitality. And the courage and strength to transcend the shackles and duel with the self. Van Gogh's life is like a poem written by Haizi, poignant and beautiful and makes you feel the warmth of the sun whenever you think of it:
I have suffered three times: wandering, love, survival;
I have three kinds of happiness: poetry, throne, sun.
