-Vincent Van Gogh
"I dream of painting and then I paint my dream."
Karina McNealApril 25,2023
Hello everyone, you should already know of me when it comes to the artistic world but if not the name is Vincent van gogh and I am here to give a little knowlege to you with more in depth look into to my career.
I decided to take on the passion I had for art for a career at the age of 27. I always knew art was for me I had the intuition and I knew but it did take some time like most people when it comes to finding a lifetime career for them....
Art as a Source of Serenity
It was then I had personally planned to to move to a place called Brussels and this is where I started to take art seriously even though I wasnt that good I had support from my bother Theo.
studying books like Travaux des champs by Jean-François Millet and Cours de dessin by Charles Bargue was my form of lessons to hep me get good at art
Helping me stay stable emotionally ; I had then started to work on "Potato Eaters," in 1885 which is one of my first famous piecies of art.
A dive into my first piece of art work...Potato Eaters
This painting, my dear friends, reveals the roots of my Dutch heritage. Influenced greatly by the Hague School artists, especially Jozef Israëls, I aimed to capture the rawness and truth of peasant life. It may appear coarse and even ugly, but it holds a certain authenticity and fondness found only in familial settings. It brings great pain to my heart that my friend Anthon van Rappard criticized this piece. He had no right to condemn my work in such a manner. Although this painting holds a special place in my heart, it has been stolen not once but twice - first from the Kröller-Müller Museum in 1988 and then from the Van Gogh Museum in 1991. Thankfully, both times it was returned unharmed. The latter incident was quite dramatic as the thieves had to abandon their escape car due to a blown tire.
This painting, I hold dear to my heart. Two years have passed since its completion and I have written to my sister, declaring that "…the painting of the peasants eating potatoes that I did in Nuenen is after all the best thing I did." The subject matter and execution of this piece resonated with me deeply, and it brings great joy to have completed what I consider one of my masterpieces.
Some of my Art
The Starry Night 1889
Most Famous
I, Vincent van Gogh, have been troubled by my mind's afflictions, which led me to sever my left ear. In 1888, I was confined to the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence for convalescence. The Starry Night painting is a reflection of the view that greeted me from my asylum room. The swirling blues of the moonlit night sky are emblematic of my artistic style and emotional color usage.

Me Me & Me
I, Vincent van Gogh, often captured my own likeness on canvas. Some may assume it was due to a love of self-portraiture or an eagerness to document my physical and mental transformations. However, the truth is that I did not have the funds to hire models for lengthy posing sessions. While I cannot claim to have been destitute, managing finances was a constant struggle. My letters to my brother Theo reveal that I relied heavily on his monthly allowance, which never seemed sufficient to support my artistic ambitions. Supplies were costly then as they are now, and hiring models simply wasn't feasible for someone who drew inspiration primarily from nature. More than anything, the story behind this particular self-portrait reflects my personal journey and struggles with mental health. Though in correspondence with Theo I insisted that I was in a better place at the time of creating this piece, looking back it's clear that all was not well: "I hope you will notice that my facial expressions have become much calmer, although my eyes have the same insecure look as before, or so it appears to me."
This painting is thought to be my last self-portrait, and it has become the most recognized depiction of myself on canvas. Some critics debate whether this or Self-Portrait Without Beard is truly my final work featuring me as the subject, but there's no denying that this piece is more famous. It showcases swirling patterns similar to those in The Starry Night and conveys a sense of turbulence and pressure. When people imagine me, they envision an intense and moody figure brimming with emotion and turmoil - this painting captures that essence perfectly.
Ah, this is my humble abode in ‘The Yellow House’, where I dwelled alongside Gauguin. See that closed door on the left? That led to the spare room where Gauguin rested his head. In a letter to my dear friend, I shared that the genesis of this series came about during a prolonged illness which confined me to bed for countless days. And do take notice of those little portraits adorning the wall next to my bed. They represent the 19th-century version of displaying polaroids of cherished companions – Eugène Boch and Paul-Eugène Milliet, two kindred spirits who walked alongside me through life’s journey.
This painting reflects my own personal living space, a portrayal of my bedroom that offers an intimate look into my life. It was where I found solace after toiling away at my art all day and where I would lay down at night to dream. My paintings here are simple yet powerful in their use of color. I chose a pale violet for the walls, with a checkered pattern on the floor. The wooden bed and chairs are painted in a bright yellow, like fresh butter. The sheet and pillows are a light shade of lemon green, while the bedspread is scarlet red. The window is adorned with a vibrant green hue, while the washbasin has an orangy tint and the tank features a calming blue. Finally, the doors are finished in a lovely lilac shade. And so it is, this is how I lived and created within these walls.

Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear (1889)
When one speaks of me, it is often that my ear becomes a topic of discussion. During my time in Paris with my friend and fellow artist Paul Gauguin, our living situation was not always harmonious. We frequently engaged in arguments, some of which turned violent. It was during one such altercation that I experienced a seizure and threatened Gauguin with a razor. However, in the midst of this madness, I ended up injuring myself instead by cutting off a part of my left ear and severing an artery in my neck. In a heightened state of mind, I then went to a brothel and presented the lobe of my ear to one of the women there. The following day, I found myself hospitalized with no memory of what had transpired, well from what I was told that I did...
Ah, the beauty of Japanese influence! I have captured it in my painting of Almond Blossoms. The sight is truly breathtaking and radiates with vibrant hues.
Irises (1889)
Having admitted myself to an asylum in light of my ailing mental state, I promptly set to work on this painting. I deemed the act of painting as “the lightning conductor for my illness,” and devoted myself to it with fervor by crafting portrayals of Saint Paul-de-Mausole asylum’s bountiful flower garden.
Wheatfield with Crows (1890)
Completed in the warm month of July in 1890, this piece may very well have been my final creation - alas, there are no definitive letters or documents to confirm this. It depicts crows taking flight from a wheat field and ascending into the deep blues of the grand sky overhead. I made the decision to incorporate a small pathway down the middle of the canvas that leads through the golden wheat, evoking an emotion of desolation and uncertainty. Many perceive this painting as a premonition of my demise and representing the seclusion that plagued me throughout my life. Its significance is only amplified given that it was brought to life during the last weeks before my passing.
Ah, it has been more than a century since my time on this earth, yet my art still resonates with the souls of many. My thousands of paintings and drawings have left an indelible mark on the world of art, inspiring countless individuals to pursue their passion for creativity. It is fascinating that even today, artists continue to imitate the style that I created all those years ago. My life was one of constant struggle and turmoil, but it was also one filled with beauty and wonder. Through my art, I sought to capture the essence of nature and humanity, imbuing each piece with a sense of emotion and vitality that remains unparalleled. And although I may no longer be here in body, my spirit lives on through the legacy I have left behind. It brings me great joy to know that my work has helped shape the way mankind views beauty, individuality, and style in art. The archetypical "artist persona" that many people associate with today owes much to my influence. But above all else, I hope that my art continues to inspire future generations to find their own unique voice and express themselves through whatever medium they choose. In conclusion, although my time on this earth was short-lived, my impact on the world of art will endure for eternity.ca
Fame after death....

The inspiration I gave others
I, Vincent van Gogh, was not fortunate enough to be recognized for my art during my lifetime. My paintings were often criticized for being too dark and following the old Dutch style. However, even after death, my brother Theo arranged a memorial exhibition which marked the beginning of my recognition as an artist. It is only in recent times that my work has gained immense popularity and fetched record-breaking prices at auctions worldwide. I am glad that people have finally come to appreciate my unique style and vision.
That is all soThis is the end Thank you!for your interest in this presentation
