Vincent Van Gogh

Known primarily for his post-impressionist paintings, Vincent Willem van Gogh is regarded as an important figure in the history of Western art. As one of the most prolific artists of all time, Vincent van Gogh painted more than 2000 paintings in his lifetime, and each piece bears a special meaning to the artist. Bidsquare presents a selection of the artist's most notable works of art, along with a description of their significance. In his paintings, Gogh used symbolic colors and expressive gestures to convey subjective feelings. The heightened forms, vibrant colors, energetic impasto, and instinctive brushstrokes of Vincent van Gogh's paintings made him a leading innovator in the field of painting during his turbulent career. Numerous subsequent modern movements, including Fauvism and Abstract Expressionism, were shaped by these practices and methods.

The paintings of Vincent van Gogh in his early years were earthen tones depicting landscapes and peasants; eventually, he became inspired by both Japanese prints and French impressionist paintings. The dense, saturated colors and energetic brushwork of Gogh's work led to even further expression of his style. Even so, his overtly colored paintings stayed in harmony with nature, the harmonies of color and rhythm convey the divine force that shaped and populated nature. The collection of Vincent van Gogh paintings on Bidsquare will appeal to fans of the artist.

Following Van Gogh's death, his art was wildly popular, leading to record-breaking auction prices globally for his works towards the end of the 20th century. One of Vincent van Gogh's famous paintings, The Starry Night, is considered one of the most iconic art pieces in history. Viewers are still drawn to it because of its expressionist spiraling night sky. Due to his expressive color palette, the moonlit night sky's swirling blues have become a distinctive feature of the artist's work. Sunflowers is a series of five sunflower paintings, created by Van Gogh during his time in Arles, South of France, using only yellow and green shades. In his home, he hung a Sunflower because he felt sunflowers represented gratitude. Throughout his career, Van Gogh painted no less than 35 self-portraits. A shirt and jacket he wore to work are depicted by Van Gogh in his painting Self-Portrait. A year before his death, this was one of his last self-portraits. As with The Starry Night, it depicts swirling patterns that appear hallucinatory and indicate pressure and turmoil. As a result of his vibrant colors, expressive brushstrokes, and contoured artworks, his work played a significant role in shaping modern art's expressionism movement.
