"Normality is through asphalt: it is convenient to walk along it, but flowers do not grow on it."

A few words about Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890), was a Dutch painter, considered one of the greatest painters. Van Gogh is associated with the post-impressionist movement in modern art. His works are divided into two styles in relation to two periods of his life. During the time he lived in the Netherlands, his paintings look gloomy, full of movement, short and rounded brushstrokes, and the use of a dark color scale. During the period when he lived in the south of France, his paintings are rich in light, using bright colors, the brush strokes became straighter, and adding prominent black outlines. Van Gogh painted most of his works during the ten years before his death. It is not known to this day whether he committed suicide or was shot. Tragically, Van Gogh was not recognized in his lifetime, but only about 11 years after his death, his paintings were shown for the first time in an exhibition in Paris.
