 VINCENT VAN GOGH
1853-1890

Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch post-

impressionist painter. Although today his art
is well liked by many, during his lifetime his art
was criticized and mocked. He painted over
800 paintings in 10 years but only sold one
painting.

Van Gogh's paintings are known for his wild

brush strokes and vivid colors.

Dutch: a person born in the Netherlands (commonly

known as Holland).

post: after, later than

impressionism: A style of painting from France during

the 1870s which recreates the artist's impression of a
scene. It is characterized by indistinct outlines and
small brushstrokes of different colors, which the eye
blends at a distance. Soft, pastel colors appear
frequently in impressionist paintings.
