Unfortunately, during his lifetime, Van Gogh was seen as a failure. Sufferings from mental illness, Van Gogh committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest at the young ages of thirty-seven.

Modernism was the movement that took place in Europe during the turn of the twentieth century, where the effects of industrialization, mass politics and other developments in society caused a change in the way people thought. One of the best ways to look at the changes in society is through the society 's culture because people’s work, whether they were scientists, psychologists, philosophers, or artists, show these themes and changes. Some of the major changes seen through these works during modernization include a movement away from Enlightenment ideas, a development of self-expression, a focus on irrationality, and a growing importance of technology and scientific ideas, and a great example to look towards for these changes are Vincent van Gogh and his art work.

Throughout his argument against aesthetics, Heidegger strongly states he believes in the true “work of art” and believes that this aesthetic approach goes against this. One artist that Heidegger particularly discusses is Vincent Van Gogh. He uses works of art by Van Gogh in order to give more power to his argument. Through works of art such as Van Gogh’s A Pair of Shoes, Heidegger makes his a distinction between artwork and things. In order to truly analyze the culture of another, he explains how it is essential for the viewer to question what is being depicted in the work and what the purpose may be. Heidegger describes art as a whole through the philosophies of existence and truth.

In our course book, Van Gogh was the father of expression. He expressed, “Painting things not as they are but as they feel.” (Lewis & Lewis, p. 391). I found in observing the many painting he made. Van Gogh was a very tortured soul. I was not impressed by the dark colored paintings. They were telling me he was a depressed, troubled man and made me feel depressed. The Vincent Van Gogh painting I have chosen is an oil canvas he made in Arles, France: June 1888. Van Gogh called it “Fishing Boats on the beach at Saintes-Maries. (Van Gogh Gallery, 2015). I felt by looking at this painting it was different from the others. The fishing boats on the beach seemed to be clearer and detailed to my eyes.

Many people say that “a picture is worth a thousand words" and a lot of times this is true. Sometimes a picture tells a story just as well as a lot of written words. Whether an image is stunning, that image, picture, photograph, or drawing is a representation of all the words that we choose to say or not say. An image has the power and ability to express thoughts and feelings without saying a single word. It allows the person to express their own feelings in a uniquely personal way. No matter what the image, photograph, drawing is, there lives inside it the potential to expose a moment of emotionalism that may otherwise have remained covered or hidden. Through that image, it can allow us to connect with others. This was the case of one of the greatest painters that ever existed, which was Vincent van Gough. He said that "real painters do not paint things as they are... they paint them as they themselves feel them to be"(The art story).

Vincent Van Gogh is one of the most famous artists of all time. He is known for his paintings and is hailed as the quintessential expressionist painter in history.

Van Gogh’s legacy has left behind stories of greatness and sadness having to do with both his personal life and his career as an artist.
