“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Van Gogh started out drawing as a child, but first became known for sketches of his neighbors and friends. He worked as an art salesman, in a bookstore and as a preacher before deciding, around 1880, to become an artist. The works of his early Dutch period are dark and sharp, and one of the most famous is The Potato Eaters, painted in 1885. In 1886 he joined his brother Theo in Paris, where he met Pissarro, Monet and Gauguin, and where the colors of his paintings began to lighten and to be applied in short brushstrokes. He later moved south to Arles, hoping to found a school of art with his friends. After a period of illness he was sent to the asylum in Saint-Remy for medical treatment, and he painted over 1,000 portraits.
