Evaluation of Van Gogh and other influences from the perspective of aesthetics, philosophy and sociology.

Vincent Wilhelm Van Gogh was born in Dherdt, Zimbabwe on March 3th, 1853, a village located in North brabant Province in the south of the Netherlands, near Brayda [2]. He is the son of Anna Cornelia Ka Bentes and Theodore Ruth Van Gogh, and his father Theodore Ruth is a clergyman of the reformed church in the Netherlands. Vincent was named after his grandfather, who was also the name of his brother who was stillborn just one year ago [3]. It is not uncommon to reuse names in this way. Vincent is a common name in the Van Gogh family; His grandfather (1789–1874) received a degree in theology from Leiden University in 1811. Grandfather Vincent has six sons, three of whom are art dealers, including another Vincent who called him "Uncle Change" in Van Gogh's letter. Grandfather Vincent may be named after his father's uncle, the successful sculptor Vincent Van Gogh (1729-182) [4]. Art and religion are two professions that deeply attract the Van Gogh family. His younger brother Theodore Russ (Theo) was born on May 1, 1857. Van Gogh has a third brother, Cole, and three sisters: Elizabeth, Anna and Wilhelmina. [5]

Vincent was a serious, silent and cautious child when he was a child. In 186, he went to Zundet rural school. His only teacher was Catholic and there were about 2 students. From 1861, he and his sister Anna were guided by a governess at home, until October 1, 1864, when he went to the private Jaiplovili boarding primary school in Zewenbergen, the Netherlands, about 2 miles (32 kilometers) away from his home.

[ Editor] When Newnan (1883 -1885) was in Newnan, Van Gogh was completely immersed in painting-paying the boys to find the bird's nest [6]-and then quickly [7] wrote down the appearance of the weaver bird in their hut. In the autumn of 1884, the neighbor's daughter, margot Begemann, who was ten years older than Vincent, accompanied him when he devoted herself to painting in Van Gogh, and fell in love with Van Gogh, and Van Gogh reciprocated (though not as enthusiastic as Begemann). They decided to get married, but their families opposed it. Margot tried to commit suicide with strychnine, but Vincent rushed her to the hospital [8][9]. On March 26th, 1885, Van Gogh's father died of a heart attack. Van Gogh was heartbroken. [1]

The Potato Eater (1885), The Still Life Painting of Straw Hat and Pipe by Collen-Miller Museum (about 1885), The Koehler-Miller Museum for the first time, news of interest in some of his works came from Paris. In the spring, Van Gogh created what is now regarded as his first major work, The Potato Eater [11]. In August, Van Gogh exhibited his works for the first time in the exhibition window of the oil painter Lewers in The Hague. In September, Van Gogh was accused of making one of his young farm models pregnant [12], and the Catholic village priest banned the villagers from modeling for Van Gogh.

In p>1885, Vincent created an array of still life paintings. Still Life Painting of Straw Hat and Pipe, and another painting of the same period, Still Life Painting of Casserole and Clogs, fully show the extraordinary skill of Van Gogh's painting skills. Both paintings show the characteristics of smooth and tight brushwork and detailed color changes. [13]

During his stay in Newnan, Van Gogh's common color system was dark earth tones, especially dark brown, but there was no trace of the development of vivid and vivid painting style in his later famous paintings. When Vincent complained that Theo didn't make enough efforts to sell his paintings in Paris, Theo retorted that their colors were too dim to squeeze into the bright impressionist style that is popular today. During his two years in Newnan, he completed many paintings and watercolors, and nearly 2 oil paintings. [14]

[ Editor] Paris (1886-1888) Van Gogh went to Paris in March 1886 to study in Fernand Colemon's studio, where he lived with his younger brother Theo. During this time, they didn't need to correspond, so the details of his life at this time were hard to be known by future generations. He has created several Paris street scenes, such as "The Bridge over the Seine (Agniel)".

Bridge over the Seine (1887) During his stay in Paris, Van Gogh collected some Japanese Ukiyo-e-style woodcuts. As early as in Antwerp, he was deeply interested in this kind of art and decorated his studio with ukiyo-e paintings. He collected hundreds of such paintings and used this style in many of his works. In 1887, there were several ukiyo-e paintings in the background of the painting "Father Tang Juyi". In 1888, the work "Apricot Blossoms on the Branches" strongly showed Van Gogh's love for Japanese art.

[ Editor] Ear Cutting Event In February 1888, Van Gogh went to live in arles in the south of France. Rent a house and Gauguin will visit in October. Gauguin left in December, and then more than half of Van Gogh's left ear was cut off around Christmas in December 1888. It is generally believed that van Gogh left him in anger because of a dispute with his good friend Gauguin. Van Gogh was insane because of emotional excitement. On the evening of December 23rd, he cut off his left ear with a knife. There are also different opinions in academic circles about the whole story of ear cutting. In May 29, two German art history researchers suggested that Van Gogh's left ear may have been cut off by Gauguin's accidental injury in a quarrel. In order to cover up the truth and maintain friendship, the two men lied to the police that Van Gogh had cut their ears himself [15]. However, this argument is highly controversial, so there is no reliable explanation for this incident at present.
