Trivia about van gogh

  • In 1888 he painted his "House at Arles", his "Bedroom at Arles" & several still lifes of sunflowers

  • Ear's to this Dutch painter, who tried to become a minister in the 1870s but failed theology exams
  • In 1889 he completed his "Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Pipe"
  • The museum's got a "Starry Night" that he painted in Arles in 1888, not the more famous one done in Saint Remy in 1889
  • His drinking & arguments with friend Gauguin may have led to his self-inflicted ear "surgery"
  • (James Lipton reads the clue.) The 19th century--more than 800 oil paintings and 700 drawings--yet you sold but one in your 37 years. Are you bitter?
  • 20 paintings by this man, including the one seen here, were stolen briefly from the Stedelijk Museum in 1991
  • (Alex reports from the Barnes Foundation.) While confined to a French sanitarium in Saint-Remy, this artist painted the Dutch landscape of Brabant in "Reminiscence of the North"
  • His "Potato Eaters" was inspired by the time he spent as a missionary in the coal-mining region of Belgium in his mid-20s
  • He created etchings of Paul Gachet, a doctor who in 1890 took him in & cared for him at Auvers
  • One of his most famous paintings shows 11 magnified stars & an orange crescent moon in whorls of blue sky
  • Dependent on his brother Theo because he couldn't sell his work, this painter is now widely collected
  • (Kelly of the Clue Crew points to paints & pigments.) "The clash of colors, like the different greens, express the terrible passions of humanity", wrote this artist
  • An early version of "The Potato Eaters" was among 3 of his paintings taken from a museum in Holland in 1988
  • His 1888 work "The Sower" is in the collection of the Amsterdam museum named for him
  • He painted "Starry Night" in 1889 while checked into an asylum in Saint Remy
  • "Self-portrait with Bandaged Ear and Pipe" is one of his best-known works

  • Seen in the painting here, this Dutch artist loved the color yellow
  • Famous for another spuddy image, he painted the potato-peeling peasant seen here
  • (Jon of the Clue Crew shows a famous painting on the monitor.) Notice the washbasin & the simple clothes hanging on the wall--this artist's painting is so intimate, it's been called a self-portrait; it's his bedroom in Arles
