Today’s Painting今日画作

Vincent van Gogh had great admiration for the work of the French artist Jean-François Millet. Like Millet he wanted to paint peasant life. Van Gogh ultimately gave up this ambition and found his own direction but he never completely lost sight of Millet. Millet was known as the great French painter of rural life. Vincent recognized himself in Millet's life story: a simple man who grew up in a peasant family and was proud of his roots. This strengthened Vincent's resolve to paint peasant life just like Millet. Millet made peasants the focus ofhis works and painted them respectfully which was new for the time.

文森特·梵高对法国画家让·弗朗索瓦·米勒的作品深表钦佩。他同米勒一样，想描绘农民生活。梵高最终放弃了这个雄心壮志，找到了自己的方向，但他从未完全忘记米勒。小米被誉为法国伟大的乡村生活画家。文森特在米勒的生活故事中看出了自己：一个简单的人，在一个农民家庭中长大，并为自己的血统感到自豪。这增强了文森特描绘农民生活的决心，就像米勒那样。米勒把农民当做自己绘画的焦点，绘画时态度很尊敬，而这在当时很少见。

Vincent studied Millet’s artworks closely. He drew countlessstudies of peasants working the land and even made exact copies of Millet’s work. This was how Van Gogh practiced and tried to improve as an artist. Once Vincent encountered Millet’s work he became immediately fascinated with his Sower. He had copied the work of Millet many times before but he aspired to paint his own personal version. In the autumn of 1888 Vincent painted a sower bringing together all that he had learned up until then: bright color contrasts of yellow and purple; diagonal lines crossing the image; and large flat areas of color inspired by Japanese prints. This was Van Gogh’s own modern Sower.

文森特仔细研究了米勒的作品。他无数次描绘了在土地上耕作的农民，甚至精确地临摹了米勒的画作。作为画家，梵高就是这样实践并不断进步的。文森特第一次看见米勒的画作，他立即痴迷于创作自己的《播种者》。他之前曾多次临摹米勒的作品，但他渴望绘制自己的版本。1888年秋天，文森特画了一个播种者，把他当时所学到的全部知识都汇集在一起：黄色与紫色的鲜明对比，穿过画作的对角线；以及受日本版画启发的大面积扁平色彩。 这是梵高自己的现代版本的《播种者》。

Artist Introduction画家简介

Vincent William Van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade he created about 2 100 artworks including around 860 oil paintings most of them in the last two years of his life. They include landscapes still lifes portraits and self-portraits and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. His suicide at 37 followed years of mental illness and poverty.

文森特·威廉·梵高是一位荷兰后印象派画家，是西方艺术史上最著名，最有影响力的人物之一。在短短十年的时间里，他创作了约2100幅艺术品，其中包括860幅油画，大部分作品完成于他生命的最后两年。作品包括风景，静物，肖像和自画像，并以大胆的色彩和戏剧性，以及富有冲动性与表现力的笔法为特征，这对奠定现代艺术的基础做出了贡献。他饱受数年精神疾病和贫困的折磨，在37岁的时候自杀了。

Born into an upper-middle-class family Van Gogh drew as a child and was serious quiet and thoughtful. As a young man he worked as an art dealer often travelling but became depressed after he was transferred to London. He turned to religion and spent time as a Protestant missionary in southern Belgium. He drifted in ill health and solitude before taking up painting in 1881 having moved back home with his parents. His younger brother Theo supported him financially and the two kept up a long correspondence by letter. His early works mostly still lifes and depictions of peasant labourers contain few signs of the vivid colour that distinguished his later work. In 1886 he moved to Paris where he met members of the avant-garde including Émile Bernard and Paul Gauguin who were reacting against the Impressionist sensibility. As his work developed he created a new approach to still lifes and local landscapes. His paintings grew brighter in colour as he developed a style that became fully realised during his stay in Arles in the south of France in 1888. During this period he broadened his subject matter to include olive trees cypresses wheat fields and sunflowers.

梵高出生于一个中上层阶级的家庭，他年幼时就开始画画，他个性认真，安静又体贴。他年轻时是艺术品经纪人，经常出差，但在调动到伦敦后变得沮丧。他转向宗教寻找寄托，并在比利时南部担任新教传教士。他搬回家与父母同住后，身体不适并陷入孤独，直到1881年他再次绘画。他的弟弟西奥在经济上支持了他，两人保持了长期的信件往来。他的早期作品主要是静物写生和对农民的描绘，很少采用鲜艳的颜色，而他后期作品则凭借这一点脱颖而出。1886年，他移居巴黎，在那里遇到了先锋派成员，包括埃米尔·伯纳德和保罗·高更，他们反对印象派的敏感性。随着作品的发展，他创造了一种新的方法来描绘静物和当地景观。1888年，他在法国南部的阿尔勒逗留期间，他的绘画风格变得更加鲜明，他的画随之也变得更加明亮。在此期间，他将绘画的题材扩大到包括橄榄树，柏树，麦田和向日葵。

Van Gogh suffered from psychotic episodes and delusions and though he worried about his mental stability he often neglected his physical health did not eat properly and drank heavily. His friendship with Gauguin ended after a confrontation with a razor when in a rage he severed part of his own left ear. He spent time in psychiatric hospitals including a period at Saint-Rémy. After he discharged himself and moved to the Auberge Ravoux in Auvers-sur-Oise near Paris he came under the care of the homeopathic doctor Paul Gachet. His depression continued and on 27 July 1890 Van Gogh shot himself in the chest with a revolver. He died from his injuries two days later.

梵高患有精神错乱和妄想，尽管他担心自己心理的稳定性，他却经常忽略自己的身体健康，他饮食不当，而且酗酒。他拿着剃须刀与高更发生冲突，之后两人的友谊结束。愤怒时，他割下了自己左耳的一部分。他在精神病医院度过了一段时间，其中就包括圣雷米医院。他出院后搬到了巴黎附近瓦兹河畔奥韦尔的拉武客栈，之后他受到顺势疗法医生保罗·嘉舍的照顾。他持续抑郁，1890年7月27日，梵高用左轮手枪向自己的胸部开枪。两天后，他因伤病去世了。

Van Gogh was unsuccessful during his lifetime and was considered a madman and a failure. He became famous after his suicide and exists in the public imagination as the quintessential misunderstood genius the artist "where discourses on madness and creativity converge". His reputation began to grow in the early 20th century as elements of his painting style came to be incorporated by the Fauves and German Expressionists. He attained widespread critical commercial and popular success over the ensuing decades and is remembered as an important but tragic painter whose troubled personality typifies the romantic ideal of the tortured artist.

梵高一生未果，被认为是疯子和失败者。他自杀后就闻名于世，人们把他想象成一个典型的被误解的天才，一个处于“疯狂与创造力长篇交汇的位置”的画家。20世纪初他绘画风格的元素被野兽派和德国表现主义者所采纳，他的声誉也随之开始增长。在随后的几十年中，他在商业上获得了广泛且具有批判性的成功，被大众所喜爱，并被公认为是一位重要但悲惨的画家，其精神疾病成为了这位艺术家饱受折磨但心怀浪漫理想的典型特征。
