Vincent van Gogh, the Dutch artist, was once an misunderstood figure in his lifetime, living in poverty. It was with the support and encouragement of his brother Theo that he left behind his brilliant works, and he is now regarded as a giant in art history. Deeply influenced by Impressionism, Van Gogh's style in turn influenced Fauvism and Expressionism. His paintings evolved from somber tones, blending with Impressionism to become vibrant and bright. Due to his personal struggles with illness and mental torment, he reflected his loneliness and unease in his art. His intense personal emotions and unique style ultimately earned him acclaim in art history, with works like "Starry Night" and "Sunflowers" becoming among the world's most famous artworks. This graphic novel presents his life in a lighthearted manner, inviting you to follow the footsteps of an extraordinary artist and understand his creative process more intimately.
