Artwork: The Starry Night

Artist: Vincent Willem van Gogh
Early in life Van Gogh worked worked for a firm of art dealers, successful but disheartened by how art was treated as a commodity he left this firm and went on to be an unpaid teacher and then missionary in a poor mining region. Van Gogh did not begin painting until late in his twenties where he worked with sombre colours until being influenced by the Paris Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism movements. He produced around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches in his life, the most famous during his last two years, where bouts of mental illness began to plague him, it was during this period that he cut off part of his left ear after of a fallout with his friend Paul Gauguin, before committing suicide by shooting himself in the chest with a revolver. Known as a Post-Impressionist artist, Van Gogh is a pioneer of what came to be known as Expressionism.
