Van Gogh's Art in 7 Minutes: From Iconic Paintings to Immersive Experiences

An obsession with sunflowers, a mutilated ear, and a melancholic temperament; these are just a few characteristics of a truly great artist: Vincent van Gogh. He spent years in relative obscurity, putting his depression onto canvas, only to become one of the most celebrated artists of all time. But can these innocuous details really summarize such an iconic figure in the art world? Let's explore the life of Vincent van Gogh and discover the man behind the art.

Wow what a great story and a man. Such a tragic life yet a huge legacy left behind!

[divoxpqr]

He felt things….emotions with such intensity that it would put people off. He was a man who was ahead of his time. It makes me sad that he never found anyone male or female to comfortably receive his love and attention. I can’t help but think his longing for a commune of artists was a desire for something deeper.

3:54 Van Gogh hated the portrait Gauguin painted of him saying
it's "certainly me, but me *gone mad."* Vincent's color intensity
combined with emotion is what draws me to his wonderful art!
Great presentation, well done!

I should note that Van Gogh DID sell one... just one painting:
_The Red Vineyard_ to Anna Boch for about 400 francs about
seven months before his death.

Visited the Van Gogh "The Immersive Experience" just a few days ago. WOW! It was incredible.

[lukegehring]

I think one of the most telling details of his character is the way he died. It is no longer believed it was suicide. Earlier in the day he was being teased and tormented by two village juveniles. There is evidence that he later ran into them again, this time they were showing off their father's gun, which went off by accident. The boys ran off, and before he died he asked the policeman attending him if he had interviewed the boys. When the police said no, not yet, he was asked not to, and said the gunshot was self inflicted.

Van Gogh's mind was a natural creative desire in he's spirit. How he felt is what most if not all Artists do, while challenging themselves.
We are all speculators in how art done by humans bring forth those subjective questions.

[raviskolara]

He is the creator of colors and happiness

[simrankashyap]

[VenusAxe]

Brilliant! Van Gogh was unintentionally a master of duality.

[Patriotman]

Art and music is a reflection of life
My life is like his in small ways!

[LisaHawkinsHotJava]

I liked the visuals, it looks like some taken from the LOVING VINCENT movie as well as the Van Gogh Immersive Exhibit. However: (1) he didn't live 'til August 1890, his death is recorded as 29 July 1890. (2) He was not lacking for friends, many genuine friends attended his funeral. Thank you for posting this!

[randalllake]

Most excellent. Thank you very much for this little masterpiece

[tomrobinson]

Topic for the future - women artist during the later 19th century and early 20th century and the issues they faced.
Thanks for the great videos

I believe he was an artist years ahead of his time, which can easily lead to frustration, agitation and depression. Agitation when all dependence is on public acceptance, as anyone in the visual arts. An artist years ahead is usually the next generation or the wrong target group at present, but Vincent did have some good luck with his relative Theo that helped him in supporting him financially. Therefore it was not as bad as it could have been. Sadly he committed suicide, not being able to get away from his own thoughts.

[ashleynickole]

i feel he was an a man incapable of understanding his own mind. as we look through his artwork we see what he saw but could not seem to escape. to the outside it was a landscape or portrait.. to van gogh it was the beautiful nightmares of his own mental that the average person could not see. i believe he was just a man with a mind simply advanced and not understood in his time. he was also a man who might have been longing for something greater.. something more and went mad. to end this off, he was incredibly talented and unconsciously gave this world a new eye for art.

[josephclarkclassicalandfaith]

Van gogh was a preacher before he was an artist. But not alot of people expand on this.

[idavidgraficks]

However Romantic, it was Gauguin who cut of Van Gogh's ear in a drunken brawl with Gauguin's fencing sword. It was a glancing downward blow. The "suicide" was two teenagers with a gun playing "cowboy" (complete with costume) and shooting Van Gogh. They were acquaintances of Van Gogh and Van Gogh decided to take the blame.
