• Answer:

  1. At the age of sixteen, van Gogh became an apprentice to his uncle’s business venture, the art brokerage of Goupil and Co. in The Hague location. In this professional setting, he received exposure to works of art. Surely art dealing gave him an appetite for paints. 2. Van Gogh has been called a Post-Impressionist because he used bold colors and brush strokes for lively paintings. 3 He is also known as a Symbolist in association with Paul Gaugin. They both shared the view that art is a religion. 4 He became a painter in 1881 ( age 28 ) and committed suicide in 1890. In nine years, he created more than 800 pictures. 5 van Gogh shot himself to death on July 29, 1890, at the tender age of 37 even as Europe was transitioning to the Art Nouveau movement.
