Oil on canvas. Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) was a Dutch painter and draftsman. Except for some brief periods of formal instruction, van Gogh was self-taught; he collected prints and reproductions to study and copy, especially those of Millet. His life and work are legendary in the history of art, making him the quintessential misunderstood, tormented, even insane artist, who sold only one work in his lifetime but whose paintings achieved record auction sales prices after his death. Van Gogh was active as an artist for only ten years, during which time he produced around 1000 watercolors, drawings and sketches and nearly 1250 paintings. His styles included an early dark, Realist style and a later colorful, intense, expressionistic style. Almost more than on his oeuvre, his fame has been based on the extensive, diary-like correspondence he maintained, in particular with his brother, Theo.

Bank of the Oise at Auvers submitted by SBNB on June 30, 2024, 10:23am Nice print. The water and trees are interesting to look at. Nice size too.

van Gogh Makes Boring Subjects Better submitted by EEK on July 15, 2024, 4:43pm People in boats don't tend to be particularly interesting subject matter but van Gogh paints them with such a lovely command of blues and greens that he can be forgiven for otherwise forgettable scene.
