Gogh, Vincent (Willem) van (b. March 30, 1853, Zundert, Neth.--d. July 29, 1890, Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris), generally considered the greatest Dutch painter and draughtsman after Rembrandt, with C¨¦zanne and Gauguin the greatest of Post-Impressionist artists. He powerfully influenced the current of Expressionism in modern art.
His work, all of it produced during a period of only 10 years, hauntingly conveys through its striking colour, coarse brushwork, and contoured forms the anguish of a mental illness that eventually resulted in suicide.
Among his masterpieces are numerous self-portraits and the well-known The Starry Night (1889).
