Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890) produced over 2,000 artworks in the decade before his death in 1890, despite receiving almost no recognition during his lifetime. Born in the Netherlands in 1853, he worked through Post-Impressionism to develop a style of extraordinary emotional intensity, defined by dense impasto, vivid color contrasts, and restless, expressive mark-making. His letters to his brother Theo — thousands of them — remain one of the most intimate documents of an artist's inner life ever published.
