Vincent Van Gogh

                                                                   Vincent Van Gogh

                                                                                   Born on March, 30th 1853 

Van Gogh spent his young adult life working for art dealers. In the beginning of his art career, he limited his color pallet to very dark colors. When he came across Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism in Paris his style changed, and he began to use brighter colors and developed a style that was uniquely recognizable. Van Gogh was a hard worker, and produced more than 2,000 paintings, drawings and sketches in the last ten years of his life.

I am drawn to Van Gogh's artwork because of the bright colors he uses in his paintings and how he incorporates impressionism into his artwork.
