The writer of this
paper explores the life and artistic motivations of Vincent Van Gogh. Van Gogh moved to Paris in 1886 where he was exposed to the works of great
artists such as Monet, Renoir Degas and Signac, which resulted in a dramatic shift to his usual
style of
painting. Van Gogh's subject matter had also changed, from dark, rugged peasants to more serene
subjects. The artist created a new style of painting called
expressionism, which symbolized the artists' inner feelings about the subjects he was painting. This paper discusses Van Gogh's various works of
art which clearly show the inner turmoil the artist suffered during his lifetime.
