Van Gogh's Life

Vincent Van Gogh. A very very famous artist, who created masterpieces. Vincent painted with very thick oil paint. He sometimes used a knife instead of a brush! And he would slap on the paint,but he drew great pictures with it.

Van Gogh had a very sad life. Most of the time he was angry. One time he had a fit of anger and then cut part of his ear off!!! Would you say that is weird???

In time Van Gogh had a flatmate. His name was Paul Gauguin, he is also a famous artist as well. Van Gogh painted sunflowers and placed four in Gauguin’s room. They became good friends, one day Paul left because they had a argument.

In 1890 Van Gogh died of la gunshot wound two days later. He actually killed himself.... Why would he do that??? I think that he was sad because Gauguin left him and he also would of died because the infection would of gone worst.

I picked my favorite pictures which Van gogh made.

  1. Very interesting post here Wyatt. It certainly sounds like he had a sad life. He does cope with things in a different way to most. You're right to say it's weird. It's great that you have the opportunity this term to learn about these famous poeple. They influence a lot of the art we see today. Keep it going!
