*** 'The Sheaf-Binder' (1889) : At the psychiatric clinic in Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh hardly ever had access to live models. Even so, he was keen to practice figure painting. So he arrived at the idea of basing his paintings on engravings of works by Jean-François Millet. Vincent wrote to his brother about his underlying reason for using the prints in this way: ‘since I am above all ill at present, I’m trying to do something to console myself, for my own pleasure'. *** Vincent Van Gogh's a Dutch post-impressionist painter who is among the most known and powerful figures within the history of Western art. His paintings embrace landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits; defined by vibrant colors and dramatic, impulsive and communication technique that contributed to the foundations of recent art. After suicide, he earned widespread vital, commercial and widespread success over the following decades, & he's remembered as vital however tragic painter.
