[H2]The Artist: Vincent van Gogh[/H2]
[A href='https://WahooArt.com/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=vincent+willem+van+gogh,vincent,willem,gogh&']Vincent Willem van Gogh[/A] (March 30, 1853 – July 29, 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade, he created approximately 2100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life. His oeuvre includes landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and self-portraits, most of which are characterized by bold colors and dramatic brushwork that contributed to the rise of expressionism in modern art.
