Postcard Prints: Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh, Dutch post impressionist painter is best known for his vivid and vibrant use of color as well as harmonious, swirling use of pattern and textures. Influenced by the French, Modern Impressionist movement, van Gogh’s style of painting was largely about his life experiences, emotions, sociological and spiritual beliefs. The artist who worked largely throughout the Netherlands and Paris, his paintings usually portrayed Still Life, figures and landscapes. The artist was said to have shared a close bond with his brother Theo, with whom he wrote letters and depended on, particularly during the last few days of his life.
Van Gogh’s greatest paintings are arguable but some have become iconic due to their reproductions as postcard prints. Today, museum shops or online printers print postcards of the artist to meet popular demands. Some of the Most Popular postcard prints include:
• Starry Night, 1889-done while self confined to an asylum at Saint-Remy, van Gogh’s interpretation of a starry night is probably the artist’s most famous and most reproduced work. Done in oil on canvas, the size of the Original Painting is 29x36 ¼”. This painting hangs at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. These postcards are offered in standard or oversized prints and are considered as one of the best sellers.
• The Café Terrace on the Place du Forum, Arles, at Night, 1888- was done during van Gogh’s height as a post impressionist painter. Painting the city and street scenes of Arles, the painting captures the subtle changes of the evening light, making the café view glow with a golden color. This postcard print can be purchased or printed using online postcard printing services.
• Sunflowers-This painting was said to have been done by van Gogh in the month of August, in the summer of 1888 at Arles, France. A painting of bright hues of yellow and gold sunflowers, van Gogh was said to have painted this as the first of a series of 12 still lifes. It was also said to have been painted by the artist in order to decorate the walls of his friend’s room, Paul Gauguin.

Vincent Van Gogh's Ear
After long period of constant invitations Gauguin finally arrived to Arles in October of 1888. The two worked together throughout the end of October, the whole November and the part of December. Gauguin painted "The Painter of Sunflowers: The Portrait of Van Gogh", Van Gogh painted "Van Gogh's chair" and "Gauguin's chair", they exercised collective painting and discussed art. Or more correctly, the argued and fighted fiercely about art - Christmas and New Year were coming and bringing the end of two troubled geniuses' relationship along with them. The crisis peaked on 23rd of December, 1888.
By that time van Gogh's mental health - due to his lifestyle - had already been deteriorating: he was subject to frequent bouts of depression and melancholy caused by some metabolic disease. At that night he suffered from one of these strengthened by fear that Gauguin was going to leave him for good. According to official version, at that Night Van Gogh either experienced a tremendous mental breakdown or was heavily poisoned by evaporations from leaden paints. The information of the events followed was gathered from one exclusive source - Gauguin.
According to one version, related by the first modern primitivist in his memoirs "Before and After" written in Tahiti at the end of the century, he was making his way through place Victor-Hugo when he heard familiar quick and nervous steps behind him. He turned around and saw van Gogh running on him with a razor blade in his hand. He looked at van Gogh, and the latter suddenly turned and ran away, because Gauguin's look "must have been very powerful".
After that van Gogh got back to the Yellow house and cut off his whole left ear (according to one part of testimonies), or the lower part of his left earlobe (according to another part of testimonies). Having washed his ear, wrapped the severed tissue into a newspaper and covered his head with tall beret (or some other headgear) he went to the brothel №1 (as was stated the local newspaper "Le Forum Republicain"), requested a prostitute named Rachel and passed her his parcel with words
"Keep this object carefully" (these words are reproduced in every account concerning the episode), went back to the Yellow house and went to a blood-drenched bed. Later van Gogh was put in the hospital, was discharged in January but due to his constant delusions and hallucinations was under the permanent supervision of Dr. Rey of the Arles hospital. In June of 1889 he committed himself to
the psychiatric asylym situated in the town of Saint-Remy-de-Provence, 32 km from Arles. Paul Gauguin went to Paris and had never seen van Gogh in his life - despite van Gogh's request to visit him in the hospital.
Paul Gauguin's account doesn't seem very reliable. Actually there were at least two of them, first being told to painter Emile Bernard immediately after return from Paris, the one that reveals some details of the decline of their relationship, dreadful description of the aftermath of van Gogh's self-harm and slightly different description of the central episode of the night. Van Gogh ran after Gauguin (he had walked out of the house) and told him: "You're silent, but I shall be so too". Gauguin went to the hotel and van Gogh returned to the Yellow house.
