Biography: Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890)was born in Zundert, in the Netherlands. Van Gogh started painting seriously only in the last decade of his life, but produced a prolific body of work nonetheless (with some 90 paintings done in the last two months of his life). Van Gogh was initially influenced by the painters of the Barbizon School, especially Jean-Francois Millet, and later by the Neo-Impressionist (or Pointillist) paintings of Paul Signac, before going on to develop his more mature expressionistic style and become the principal figure in the Post-Impressionism art movement. Other important Post-Impressionist artists include Paul Cezanne and Paul Gauguin. Van Gogh and Gauguin were close friends, living and painting together in Arles in 1888, until Van Gogh's growing mental illness led to his commitment to a mental asylum. He died at the age of 37 in 1890 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. (Return to Top.)
