• what are the principles and elements of art on vangogh's pieces

• Answer:

  Line, shape, color, texture space are all a part of Van Gogh paintings. Because he was relatively untrained in the classic traditional ways of art he fell into the expressionists point of view of trying to capture the raw feeling of a person or place. He painted himself many times and was never satisfied with any of them. If there was any one element he used very effectively it might be texture. At times his emotions were so raw he had to put the paint on with his fingers. He was never considered a successful painter in his day. He only sold one painting in his whole life. He sent most of his paintings to his devoted brother Theo. Theo supported Vincent and died shortly after Vincent did.We are lucky his family kept his paintings which most are on display at the Van Gogh Museum. His life was cut short when his tormented soul ended with a self inflicted gun shot.
