because Van Gogh is so famous, why is he so famous? Painting is really good, and the circumstances before and after death are so different. In his short life of 37 years, he picked up a brush to paint at the age of 26. In fact, until she died, he only painted for 11 years. In 2008, he painted a large number of works, but only sold one piece, "The Red Vineyard", for 400 francs.
What kind of personality was Van Gogh? Paranoid, stubborn, enthusiastic, honest. He loves life very much, although life doesn't love him very much. When he was working in the church, he preached in the Borinage mining area and wanted to give all of himself to God, but his true love for people could not meet the church system and requirements at the time. In the end, he couldn't do it and fell into extreme pain. , Van Gogh, who wanted to work to find his own value, was very frustrated, "I was trapped in a cage, a cage of shame, self-doubt and failure" This is a sentence he said in a conversation with his brother Theo Van Gogh talk.
His younger brother is touching. Theo van Gogh, a successful art dealer, works in a famous gallery. Their brothers are very good friends. When Van Gogh was mentally distressed, his younger brother stood by his side: "We are Brothers, we are also friends, we can trust each other, we can overcome any cage, wherever you go, you count as me.” Theo van Gogh said this and did the same, and since then Theo van Gogh has supported his brother to paint and live. , until death, 6 months after Van Gogh's death, his brother also died.
When people came to the end, they had to find a new way out. When the cause of God could not go on, Van Gogh chose art. His paranoid and stubborn character combined with his cognition of life led him to follow the path of his predecessors. An artistic path that has not been traveled. He loves nature, loves the sun, goes to the fields to sketch, and imitates the paintings of "Miller". He believes that laborers are the most beautiful, and he has the same view as Miller.
Gauguin, another Impressionist master, this is the title given to them by later people when they wrote art history. At that time, he was not a master, but a wild artist who was not recognized. Van Gogh + Gauguin + Cezanne are three post-impressionist masters, and there are differences among the three representatives, who have taken different paths, but they all have a persistent pursuit of light color and air in nature.
We don’t want to live like Van Gogh, but we are all moved by his paintings. Van Gogh painted the world in his heart. Although he lived a very hard and painful life, there is art as a haven, which is his spiritual home. . He was not recognized by the art world at that time. It was his destiny. "The so-called avant-garde artist is doing something earlier than the development of the times." The
reason why art is called art is because it is unclear. Some things can't be explained clearly in words, just feel, learn to enrich the breadth and thickness of our hearts, coupled with the perception of life, slowly mobilize our numb nerves to feel the charm of art! To feel the happiness and misfortune of life, what is the difference? It's all life. When you realize a point, the pleasure of the senses is no longer important! There are a lot of people who will be moved to tears in front of a good work. That's not fake, it's a normal reaction to a spiritual collision.
Gombrich said: Aesthetics must be guided! this is correct!
A little thing: the classmates who studied oil painting in my studio once again painted a Van Gogh painting and said, "It doesn't look good!" Teacher, I want to draw nice pictures. Okay, let me talk about this painting, so I talked about Impressionism, the reason why Van Gogh created this painting, and the difference between it and other paintings. After finishing, the student said: After listening to the teacher, I felt that this The picture is beautiful and interesting. It's not that the painting has changed, it's that his vision and mental cognition have changed.
Our feelings for Van Gogh are complicated, we are deeply saddened by his life experiences, sincerely admire his artistic talent, move and shock his works, and our feelings for Van Gogh are also Mao Dun, how many people hope to have Van Gogh Gao's talent without having his life, you know, he is a whole person, without the paranoia of his character, the love of life, there would be no such Van Gogh, without his talent, life's tempering and Sadly, such a great work cannot be produced. Perhaps without the latter, everyone would not know the name of Van Gogh. Without the former, it would be a different Van Gogh. Which one do we prefer? This is not important, it has nothing to do with Van Gogh, Van Gogh is Van Gogh, we are us!
