Features: Vincent van Gogh was born in the Netherlands. He focused on the emotional expression and independent personality in painting. The essence of his work stemmed from his unique experiences with life and fate. With the support of his brother, he lived a life close to poverty. His understanding and expression of the essence of painting were a refuge for his life and spirit, as well as a carrier of emotions and personality. After 1888, during his time in Arles, he created a series of passionate and highly individualistic paintings. He did not depicting the natural state of objects but instead expressed the life force of objects in a freehand manner. His unique grasp of form rejected any rational constraints, pouring out his visual and emotional truth directly with fervor and passion. His subjective expression that transcended the state of objects reflects the characteristics of the transformation in modern painting, shifting from an emphasis on objective nature to the release of subjective emotions. Therefore, Van Gogh's paintings have had a profound influence on modernist art.
