The Passions of Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh’S Life Was Driven By Passions From The Religious To The Romantic. These Passions Illuminated His Work As An Artist But Also Led To His Many Disappointments In Life. Whether Attempting To Be A Missionary Falling In Love With His Cousin Sheltering A Prostitute And Her Children Proposing To His Neighbor’S Spinster Daughter Or Establishing An Art Colony With Paul Gauguin Failure Haunted Him. Although His Uniquely Vibrant Colors And Dramatic Brushstrokes Redefined Impressionist Painting Success Eluded Him. Only After His Tragic Death Was His Artwork Finally Recognized For Its Intensity Appeal And Enduring Impact.
