How to evaluate Van Gogh?

As an artist, Van Gogh fulfilled his mission. Even a few decades of painting career has left many amazing works of art. As an outstanding painter of "post-impressionism", Van Gogh initiated the artistic precedent of "post-impressionism".

Painters such as Van Gogh opened the door to modern art, and post-impressionist painters completed a heroic revolution in the history of western painting art. Under the influence of their creative ideas and artistic concepts, many artistic trends of modernist art emerged in the twentieth century, such as animism, cubism, expressionism and abstraction. As a result, the face of western painting has completely changed, from objective reproduction to subjective expression.

When Van Gogh was alive, his works were not accepted by the world, and the painter himself was born to die. His works are not only not appreciated by the world, but also impoverished all his life, and he can't get the care of his beloved in love.

Van Gogh said that art is the expression of self-mind. 1886, Van Gogh came to Paris and was attracted by the wonderful and warm light and color effects in impressionist paintings. His paintings mostly use bright and burning colors, as well as a sense of movement, continuous, wavy and fast-flowing brushstrokes, which constitute the characteristics of his paintings.

Van Gogh's works contain profound tragic consciousness, strong personality and unique pursuit of form, and all forms jump and twist under the control of fierce spirit. He uses the depicted object as a medium to express his strong subjective feelings and his unique artistic skills, thus expressing his subjective feelings and passions. He developed the impressionist artistic method, especially the method of shaping the color and shape of things, to the point of being more independent of tradition.
