Vincent Van Gogh was the son of a preacher; his religious beliefs were fundamental to his short life and exerted a strong influence over his painting. He decided to be an artist after spending time as a lay preacher among miners in Belgium. Much of Van Gogh's life was dominated by his restless spirit and depressive mental illness, although these combined to fire his artistic work with great joy and, sadly, equally great despair. Heavily influenced by the works of Post-Impressionists such as Paul Gauguin, he produced a great many paintings that were deeply autobiographical.Cutts, Josephine is the author of 'Van Gogh - Josephine Cutts - Hardcover' with ISBN 9781405429863 and ISBN 1405429860.
