Hi my friends! Today I want to write about a person I would have liked to meet. This person is Vicent Van Gogh. He was a Duchman painter, and he was a very important exponent for the post-impressionism movement. Van Gogh died the 29 July 1890, when he was 37 years old. I admire this person because I love his art,  I like his paintings very much, especially 4: Sunflowers, starry night, blossoming almond tree and his self-portrait.

Van Gogh was a really emotional person, very intense. In 1888 he had a fight with Paul Gauguin (Gauguin was a friend of Van Gogh, He was also a painter), when the discussion ended, Van Gogh was  so frustrated than decided to cut  his ear. Van Gogh  is also famous for this act. This episode evidenced the emotional instability  (some people think that he was crazy). 

The quality of his art was appreciated and recognized after his death. at the present, he is considered like one of the master of the history of painting. 

today there exists a lot of films about Vicent Van Gogh life. for example, Van Gogh: Painted with words,  Loving Vicent, etc.

I think that his life was very interesting. And for that reason I would have loved to be part of his life.
