Feel the art coming alive, feel the intensity of color jumping out at you. Feel the moment of connection with the artist and painter. Treasure that moment, hold it a little longer. At that moment, you can feel all that is going through the painter and artist. Seize that moment!
Gogh, Vincent van, one of the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt,is also the greatest of Post-Impressionist artists. Vincent van Gogh created Postimpressionism and powerfully influenced the current of Expressionism in modern art, sadly though he had not much success during his lifetime.
Van Gogh produced all of his 900+ paintings and 1100+ drawings during a period of only 10 years before he succumbed to mental illness, possibly bipolar disorder, and committed suicide.
The striking, bold, intense colors, the emphatic brushwork, and contoured forms of his work are highly expressive, even emotional.
Van Gogh used the symbolic and expressive values of colors for expressing emotions rather than, as did the Impressionists, for the reproduction of visual appearances, atmosphere or light. The term Post-Impressionist does, however, acknowledge that Impressionism had shaped this artist.

Van Gogh's influence on Expressionism, Fauvism and early Abstraction was enormous, and can be seen in many other aspects of 20th century art. Several paintings by Van Gogh are among the most expensive paintings in the world. On May 15, 1990 Van Gogh's Portrait of Doctor Gachet was sold for $ 82,500,000.00 in auction, establishing a new price record. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is dedicated to Van Gogh's work. The Kroller-Muller Museum in Otterlo (also in The Netherlands), has a considerable collection of Vincent van Gogh paintings as well.
