梵高, 你如此孤獨!zt

梵高(1853-1890),荷蘭後印象派畫家,
Vincent van Gogh, for whom color was the chief symbol of expression, was born in Groot-Zundert, Holland on March 30, 1853.
The son of a pastor, brought up in a religious and cultured atmosphere, Vincent was highly emotional and lacked self-confidence. Between 1860 and 1880, when he finally decided to become an artist, van Gogh had had two unsuitable and unhappy romances and had worked unsuccessfully as a clerk in a bookstore, an art salesman, and a preacher in the Borinage (a dreary mining district in Belgium), where he was dismissed for overzealousness.
He remained in Belgium to study art, determined to give happiness by creating beauty. The works of his early Dutch period are somber-toned, sharply lit, genre paintings of which the most famous is "The Potato Eaters" (1885). In that year van Gogh went to Antwerp where he discovered the works of Rubens and purchased many Japanese prints.
In 1886 he went to Paris to join his brother Théo, the manager of Goupil's gallery. In Paris, van Gogh studied with Cormon, inevitably met Pissarro, Monet, and Gauguin, and began to lighten his very dark palette and to paint in the short brushstrokes of the Impressionists. His nervous temperament made him a difficult companion and night-long discussions combined with painting all day undermined his health. He decided to go south to Arles where he hoped his friends would join him and help found a school of art. Gauguin did join him but with disastrous results. Near the end of 1888, an incident led Gauguin to ultimately leave Arles. Van Gogh pursued him with an open razor, was stopped by Gauguin, but ended up cutting a portion of his own ear lobe off. Van Gogh then began to alternate between fits of madness and lucidity and was sent to the asylum in Saint-Remy for treatment.
梵高自畫像合集
他生下來,畫畫。他死後,麥田裏一片金黃,
1888年2月,梵高離開喧鬧的都市,隻身來到法國南部的田野。
當地的農人非常奇怪這個人。
這一年的年底,
沒有一個人知道,這個他們眼裏的瘋子,
也就是在《向日葵》誕生一年以後,
具有諷刺意味的是,在100年以後,他的《向日葵》
今天,在梵高的家鄉,荷蘭的曾德特小鎮,
梵高於1853年3月30日生於荷蘭北部曾德特鎮一個牧師家庭,
在法國南部的阿爾,結識了一批印象派畫家,
梵高似乎從未畫過高貴的題材,進入他的畫麵的,多是凡俗的花——
畫上一家農人圍坐在狹小的桌子前,屋子矮小簡陋,
梵高在他的書信裏寫道:“一個勞動者的形象,一塊耕地上的犁溝,
梵高在他生命中不到十年的藝術生命裏畫出了近千幅幅作品,
梵高一生都不知道自己是一個天才,他甚至不敢把自己稱作畫家。
可貴的是,梵高盡管一生都生活在貧困線附近,
現在,在梵高去世百年以後,他的出生地荷蘭和他的自殺地法國,
梵高用偉大的才華與苦難抗爭,
我們生來就是孤獨
我們生來就是孤單
不管你擁有什麽
我們生來就是孤獨
讓我再看你一眼
星空和黑夜
——《梵高先生》
梵高作品賞
我愛我離奇的想象
盛開的意念
是扭曲著的真實
鮮豔在狂想
即使人生
有太多扭曲與痛
我的世界
依舊光明到閃耀
