Vincent van Gogh began his art career a mere 10 years before his death, but during that time, he created over 2,000 works. Rejecting the naturalism of Impressionism, Van Gogh painted in bold, intense colors that could convey his emotions about the subject, whether he was working on a portrait, landscape, or still life. From people and scenes in his daily life to views of the ever-changing countryside, Van Gogh's expressive works are accompanied here by quotes from the artists own correspondence.
