Though he only lived for 37 years, Van Gogh has $\underline{\ \ 2\ \ }$ influenced the world of art.
Van Gogh had trouble finding satisfying $\underline{\ \ 3\ \ }$ and met many personal problems in his early years. He worked as an art dealer, a teacher, and even a pastor before turning to painting full-time in his late twenties.

In 1888, Van Gogh moved to Arles in the south-east of France, where he $\underline{\ \ 6\ \ }$ some of his most famous works, including "Starry Night" "Sunflowers" and "The Bedroom". These paintings are known for their bright colours, energetic brushwork, and strong feelings.

Nowadays, people really value Van Gogh for his special ideas and new ways in making art.

Through his paintings, Van Gogh continues to communicate the depth of his emotions and the beauty of the world around us.
