Vincent van Gogh was a passionate Dutch expressionist artist, sadly most renowned for cutting his own ear off after an argument with Gauguin. His artistic genius was, sadly, closely linked to his violent mood swings which sometimes rendered him suicidal (he took his own life at the age of 37) but at others, supercharged his imagination and creative capacity. In the two months prior to his death van Gogh completed one piece of art every single day. He was a compassionate man and his first masterpiece The Potato Eaters was inspired by the poverty he witnessed in the peasant farming communities of the Dutch Brabant. Following the realism of The Potato Eaters, van Gogh moved on to the brightly colored, broad brush stroked, expressionist art for which he is best renowned. His use of complementary colors, particularly combining blues and ochres, is evident in his Sunflower Series, Starry Night, Noon Rest from Work, Almond Blossom, Wheat Field with Cypresses and Irises.
We publish several pieces of his, but far the most popular are Starry Night and Almond Blossom.
