THE GREAT PAINTER

'. Van Gogh did not start painting untill he was twenty-seven, ten years before he died. Before becoming a painter, he was a teacher, an art dealer and a church preacher.

However, Van Gogh was mentally ill. During one of his fits of madness he attacked his friend, the artist Paul Gauguin. In another fit of madness, Van Gogh cut off part of his own ear. Eventually he went into a mental hospital but he did not get any better.

Finally, in 1890 Vincent Van Gogh shot himself. His last words were'La tristesse durera'. (The sadness will continue.)

Нis style of painting was very different from classical art. He painted pictures of the sunny, hot regions of France. Nobody has ever painted cornfield or sunflowers like Van Gogh. His paintings are full of colour and sunlight. He looked for interesting shapes and exciting colours. He liked to work freely and quickly.
