Van Gogh

VINCENT VAN GOGH Vincent Van Gogh was a very interesting artist. He was born in 1853. By the time he was 1 ½ years old he drew pictures. By age of thirteen, he decided to draw still life. One of the first drawings was of his brother, Theo Van Gogh, working in the field. In 1877, at age twenty-four, he went to Amsterdam to study to be a minister. He did not do well there so he went to …

…therapist told him to stay out of the sun and do not eat foods with sugar or salt. Unfortunately, on the next Tuesday, Vincent shot himself in the head. Oddly, he lived for two days. His last words to Theo were, “I want to go home now.” After Vincent Died, his pictures became more valuable. In fact, in 1987, Vincent’s Irises picture became the most ever spent on a art picture. Someone spent 53.9 million dollars.
