Vincent van Gogh the Maverick Genius - A Story of Passion, Tragedy, and Legacy
Vincent Van Gogh was born on 30 March 1853 in Zundert in the southern Netherlands, the son of a pastor. In 1869, he took his first job, working in the Hague branch of the international art dealing firm Goupil’s. During this time he began to write to his younger brother Theo, a correspondence which continued for the rest of Van Gogh’s life and gives up such insights into his life.
Van Gogh’s moved to London where he briefly worked as a teacher. Later he moved to Paris, again working at Goupil’s but he was dismissed in 1876 for lack of effort. He in finally became deeply involved in Christianity, and worked briefly as a preacher in the Borinage, a mining community in southern Belgium.
After failing at other occupations he decided, in 1880, at the age of 27, to become an artist. He travelled around the Netherlands, teaching himself to draw and paint made possible with the financial support of Theo. In 1886, Van Gogh moved to Paris, where he met Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Pissarro and Gauguin, with whom he became friends. His style changed and became looser and lighter under the influence of Impressionism.
In 1888, Van Gogh moved to Provence in southern France, where he painted his famous series ’Sunflowers’. Gauguin joined him but they did not get on well. Gauguin criticised Van Gogh’s work and as a result he attacked Gauguin with a razor. Not long afterwards Van Gogh cut off his ear and took it to a local brothel in Arles.
Time spent in the asylum in Arles, southern France followed where he swung between periods of inertia, depression and incredibly concentrated artistic activity. He was released in late 1890 as ‘cured’ but on the 27 July 1890, Van Gogh shot himself in a field near the church in Auver sur Oise, north of Paris. He died in the Auberge Ravoux, a small bar in Auver sur Oise two days later.
I created this documentary film of the Life of Van Gogh (35 minutes in length) for use in art societies and art groups. The film covers all the major aspects of Vincent Van Gogh’s life from his early life in England, his relationship with his brother Theo, through being a preacher to eventually, at the age of 27 , becoming an artist. The film covers all the important elements of his artistic life, including, his moves to Paris and Arles, his most famous paintings including the painting of the sunflowers, his short and turbulent association with Paul Gauguin which contributed to the incident that led to him cutting off of his ear and his move to the asylum at Saint Remy. The video also covers Van Gogh’s move to Auver sur Oise, his time spent with Dr Gachet and his final demise in July 1890. Loving Vincent, I wanted to make a special effort to do justice to this very famous artist.
