印象派大师：文森特·梵高
文森特·梵高是个闲不住的艺术家，他精力充沛、佳作不断。尽管他在年仅37岁时就自杀身亡，但留下的绘画作品却超过了两千幅，这使他声名鹊起。如果他还活着的话，这种结果会令他始料不及。
Van Gogh was born on March 30， 1835 at Groot Zundert in the Dutch province of Noord Brabant. He was the son of a clergyman.
His first artisticartistic adj.艺术的， 有美感的， 风雅的 impressions were formed as a boy， from his uncle who was an art dealer. The motivation bore early fruit and from the age of 12 the young Vincent was drawing.
The interest led to an apprenticeship in an art dealers firm， Groupils， in the HagueHague n.海牙(荷兰的中央政府所在地，在荷兰西部). When he was only 20， he was transferred to the firms London office.
In London Van Gogh faced his first major crisis， when he was rejected in love. After that， he turned to religion， expressed disapprovaldisapproval n.不赞成 with artdealing and neglected his work， Groupil transferred him from London to Paris but， when his work was still unsatisfactory， dismissed him in 1876.
梵高1853年3月30日出生于荷兰北布拉班特省的格鲁特·宗德尔特，他的父亲是位牧师。
由于受画商叔叔的影响，小时候梵高就表现出对艺术的兴趣。这种动力在他12岁时就初见成果，年幼的文森特开始作画了。
对绘画的兴趣使他在海牙的古比尔画店开始了学徒生涯。他刚满20岁，就被调到画店的伦敦分店。
在伦敦梵高面临着他的头一个重大危机：他失恋了。自打那时起，他皈依宗教，表现出对绘画交易的不满以及对工作玩忽职守的态度。古比尔把他从伦敦调到巴黎，可看到他的工作还是不尽如人意时，就在1876年将他解雇了。
The young Van Gogh made religion a consuming interest and during the next few years traveled in Britain， Belgium and Holland， trying to establish himself as a preacher， but without success. He developed strong opinions on social morality， customs and church life and alienatedalienate v.疏远 those he mixed with by an uncompromisinguncompromising adj.不妥协的， 强硬的.
In 1880， at the age of 27， he found himself drawn backdraw back v.拉起， 退却， 缩回 to art. He had a job as an assistant evangelist in the mining village of Borinage in Belgium but realized an artistic drive which was to motivate him unceasingly until his death 10 years later.
Although he returned to Noord Brabant and his family early in 1881， his first recognized works were set in Borinage and reflected the rural culture in which he was living and his belief in order and symmetry in both society and art. The period resulted in what became known as the Brabant canvases.
年轻的梵高迷上了宗教。在随后的几年中，他遍游英国、比利时和荷兰，试图使自己成为传教士，然而未能如愿。他对社会道德、习俗及宗教生活产生了强烈的想法并且态度坚定地疏远那些与他交往的人。
到了1880年，梵高已经27岁了，他发现自己重又对绘画产生了兴趣。在比利时的波里纳日的采煤村他有一份做福音传道者助手的工作，可他感受到一种艺术的冲动，这种冲动持续不断地激励着他直到10年后去世。
虽然在1881年初，他回到北布拉班特省家人身边，他最初被认可的作品却是以波里纳日为背景，所反映的是他长期生活在其中的乡村文化以及对社会与艺术秩序和对称的理念。这段时间产生了后来被称作布拉班特的绘画作品。

Late in 1881 he moved to the Hague and established a relationship with a woman， Christine Hoornik， with whom he lived for a time. He broke with her in 1883， however， and never again established a significant intimateintimate adj.亲密的， 隐私的vt.宣布， 明白表示n.熟友 relationship with a woman.
这一时期，他开始对艺术的发展着迷。尽管受到实际经验的限制，但他的作品从开始就显示出信心与成熟，毫无疑问这是受到了个人信仰的力量。
但他的感情生活却不尽如人意。回到布拉班特后他与父母住在一起，家庭关系有些紧张。他手头拮据并反对当时的社会和学术准则。
1881年，他到达海牙并与一名叫克里斯廷·胡尔尼克的女人生活了一段时间。1883年他们的关系破裂，从那时起，他再没有与其他女人有过明显的亲密关系。
Between 1883 and 1886， at Noord Brahant again， his painting developed into characteristiccharacteristic adj.特有的， 表示特性的， 典型的 n.特性， 特征 dark landscapeslandscape n.风景， 山水画， 地形， 前景v.美化 and scenes of country life. He stressed character and expression rather than perspectiveperspective n.透视画法， 透视图， 远景， 前途， 观点， 看法， 观点， 观察 and physical accuracy； he was already experimenting with impressionism.
In 1886 Van Gogh left Holland forever and traveled via Antwerp to Paris， and to major changes in artistic style. Van Goghs work became more youthful in Paris.
He lived with his brother， Theo， who managed the modern department of an art dealers.
A new， more ， painting style emergedemerge vi.显现， 浮现， 暴露， 形成 and the impressionist tendencies of earlier work weakened somewhat.
1883年到1886年间，在北布拉班特省，他的画风发展成独具匠心的晦涩的风景画和乡村生活画。他强调性格与表现而不是透视与精确。他已经在尝试印象派风格了。
1886年梵高永远地离开了荷兰取道安特卫普前往巴黎，他的艺术风格也发生了重大的变化。在巴黎，梵高的作品变得更加青春洋溢。
他和弟弟西奥住在一起，他弟弟负责一家画店的现代画部。
一种新的、更加充满活力的画风出现了，同时早期作品中的印象派倾向有所削弱。

Among his most prominent experiments with colour were a series of some 30 flower paintings， a fascination which stayed with him until his death.
梵高发展了个性化的笔法及鲜明、纯色的品位。
他对色彩最出色的实验就是一系列约30幅花卉的绘画作品，对这种创作的迷恋一直伴他到生命的最后。
梵高一生留下了丰富的作品，直到去也之后才逐渐被人们所认识。这些作品中作者突出地追求自我精神的表现，一切形式都在激烈的精神支配下跳跃和扭动。他的一生始终与痛苦、曲折、穷困为伴，但他通过不懈的努力，为我们留下了无价的艺术财富。
