《星夜》是梵高的名作之一，旋转的星空表现了他纠缠的内心。

每天一分钟，我们一起玩转世界文化。梵高是荷兰最著名的画家之一，在他坎坷的一生中经历了疯狂，自残与自杀，但却只卖出了一幅作品。而在他死后，他的光芒却为世人瞩目。也许这就是所谓的“不疯魔不成活”吧。

He didn't succeed, though. Before he became a painter he worked for an art dealer, didn't he? Yes, but I don't think he enjoyed his job. He antagonized customers until he was dismissed. He then tried preaching, as he was a strong Humanitarian, about the oppression of mining families. No one took him seriously, people just laughed at him. He couldn't get a girlfriend because of the conflicts in his personality and he couldn't keep a friend. Most of his relationships ended in bitter arguments. He must have been a lonely man. It says here that he didn't become a painter until ten years before his death? I didn't know that. Yes, his early paintings during the 1880s showed a use of greens and browns, like in this picture Potato Eaters. That's an early one. After that his style changed, maybe because he left Paris and moved to Arles. That's where he painted Sunflowers and when he cut off his ear. He was sent to a mental hospital after that, where he painted the swirling Starry Nights, and just a few months later. Bang! He shot himself.
