Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890) was a Dutch painter who is widely regarded as one of the most influential in all of European art. He is known the world over for works such as ‘The Starry Night,’ ‘Sunflowers,’ and his self-portraits.
Van Gogh championed an art style known as ‘Post-Impressionism,’ which thrived in Europe from about 1886 to 1905. It was a reaction by artists like van Gogh against the prevailing Impressionism of the time. Van Gogh took some Impressionist principles like bold colours and added sharp edges, unnatural forms and modified colours.
Using oil paint and the canvas as his medium, van Gogh created work on themes like loneliness, anxiety and suffering. These were a reflection of his troubled inner life, which we have come to know him for – you may have heard that he cut off his ear.
Over the course of his life, van Gogh produced more than 900 individual paintings on a wide range of subjects, including flowers, the night sky and the interiors of homes.
Undoubtedly, ‘The Starry Night’ is Vincent van Gogh’s most recognisable painting. It is simultaneously beautiful, melancholic and rich with imagery. It uses unusual colours – a choice that may have been influenced by lead poisoning – to paint a nocturnal picture of religion, salvation and death. Van Gogh’s signature thick brush strokes add a depth that lets you gaze at the painting for hours without getting bored.
One of van Gogh’s brighter works is ‘Sunflowers’, which perfectly captures his art style. The painting, which was created in one of van Gogh’s happier moments, uses bright, vivid colours, and is perfect for lightening the mood in a room.
Vincent van Gogh is one of the most widely-recognised artists in the world: hanging a print of one of his paintings on your wall is sure to draw attention. His use of vivid colours, unique shapes and emotional imagery add to the eye-catching effect of a van Gogh print.
Van Gogh’s Post-Impressionist style is a great fit for sleek, modern interiors. They contrast perfectly with pastel-coloured walls and minimalist furniture. For a more Old World look, add a Vincent van Gogh print to a traditional interior with dark mahogany wood and vintage furnishings.
