1. Van Gogh's greatness lies in his love for the world, which is solemn and profound, and lies in the purity of what he pursues, even if the world completely abandoned him at that time. Great love in art should reflect the suffering of people living in this world, be sympathy for suffering, and be a power sublimated from sympathy. The price paid in the purest way must be the price of pain and loneliness paid in the purest way. Such people are usually regarded as crazy.

2. I like Van Gogh, from simple to profound, from his paintings to the words in his letter, to his spiritual world, and then to his paintings. When you read his letters, you will realize that some people are born artists, and his works are full of poetic descriptions of the surrounding environment and nature, from which he really gets spiritual comfort and creative inspiration. He often writes in his letters that the scenery seems to say to him: Cheer up, don't be afraid, draw! I have been learning gouache since primary school. I have used strange colors, but I never thought of using them to really describe it.

3. But in Van Gogh's letters, there are a lot of color words flying between the lines, many of which are rare. Red gray, cobalt blue, mass green, gamboge, rouge, golden brown, gray blue, Luo Huang. He will give these colors personality, lively orange, delicate pink, bitter green and scarlet. It seems that he is the messenger of color, mixing his own colors and creating colors that we have never seen before. The "old gold" he mentioned is actually a deep yellow, mixed with light olive green and tan. He never hides his love for color, and even describes the air with color. He is eager to "depict warm men and women in paintings and express them through the light of the characters themselves and the trembling of colors."

4. Van Gogh's understanding of art is profound and lasting. His internal analysis of art sometimes makes me cry. I like reading and writing very much, but I can't concentrate on writing like him. I have to do other things most of the time, but we have the same passion for art. "Art is very necessary to nourish real life, because real art is the work of mind and wisdom. For artists, words and works are their soul and life. "Every time I read a good book, I feel like I'm talking to a great soul.

If you look at Van Gogh's life, it is the first half of ordinary people. No matter in family influence or personal choice, he is inseparable from theology in just 10 years. 1857, Van Gogh's younger brother Theodorus van Gogh was born. He was the biggest supporter and admirer of Van Gogh in his life. Since then, his letters with his younger brother have become his absolute spiritual sustenance and a precious collection that has shocked future generations.
