One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture,[8][9] the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore.

Early Period: Nuenen, Netherlands (1883–1886) This period is defined by its dark, somber tones and focus on the difficult lives of peasants. Van Gogh wanted to portray their connection to the earth and their honest, hard labor without romanticizing it. Technique: He used a dark, earthy palette dominated by browns and greens. His goal was to master drawing and form before fully embracing color. Major Work: The Potato Eaters (1885) This is considered his first true masterpiece. It depicts a peasant family sharing a simple meal of potatoes under a single lamp, emphasizing their weary faces and bony, working hands. Van Gogh intentionally used coarse brushwork and dark, "dusty potato" colors to convey the harsh reality and raw honesty of rural life. Paris (1886–1888) His move to...
