About Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) developed a radical, emotion‑driven use of color after moving from Paris to Arles in 1888, seeking southern light and an artists’ community. In Arles he created the Sunflowers series to decorate the Yellow House ahead of Gauguin’s visit. His late work fused impasto, high chroma, and symbolic motifs that shaped modern painting [2][5].
