Vincent Van Gogh is a much-celebrated artist today. He was an unknown in his time. He was poor and lived in a cramped room. All he possessed was his easel, paint, brushes, a little money and talent. He used different kinds of lines in his artwork and painted landscapes, still life and portraits. He always signed his paintings. However, he hardly sold any of his works. Vincent lived a sad life. he slowly became insane. He even cut off his ear. Finally, he shot himself in the chest when he was 37 years old. Today, his works, 'Sunflowers' and 'Starry, Starry night' are known as masterpieces. They cost a fortune and often become the focus of attention at exhibitions and auctions.
