Artist Van Gogh

Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. This week I am going to be talking about an Artist. For my Artist I chose Vincent Van Gogh. The reason I chose him was because we did some art about him in room 8 2 years ago. So here are a few facts about him.

• Vincent Van Gogh was born on the 30th of March 1853 in Zundert, Netherlands.
• In a period of ten years he made approximately 900 paintings.
• Vincent shot himself in France but died 2 days later at the age of 37.
• He was poor and was basically unknown his whole life and he only sold one painting in his whole life and was only famous after he died.
• He did not chop of his whole ear he only chopped off a small portion of it.
• Vincent's  brother died when he was born and also had the same name as him.
• He was also good friends with Paul Gauguin who was a famous artist.

My favourite 2 paintings that Vincent Van Gogh did was the starry night and the night club. The reason I like starry night because I did a version of it myself and it's one of his most famous painting. My other favourite painting is the night cafe. The reason I like this one is because it is very well drawn and it would be a place that I would like to go to.

So that's it for this week guys please comment below about which artist you picked for your blog post.
