Van Gogh was the master of color. He pioneered new methods during his relatively short life as an artist – his color choice changed from sombre, dark tones, to the vivid palette much loved today.
Vincent was a chronic epileptic and was tormented by angst and mental illness, and found great difficulty in forming personal friendships. As a result of this, and the general rejection of his work by the art world, he took his own life at the age of 37.
