16、The two most important but apparently independent features about van Gogh which most people know about are his spectacular,almost explosive,use of colour and the poor state of his mental health,which brought his life to a sad end.译文译文Digging3 Yet,according to medical research since van Goghs death,i

17、t now seems that these two features may be linked,and that his mental health may have contributed to his artistic style,not just at the end of his life,but at earlier times as well.译文译文Digging4 Van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853,and his early career working for an international art dealer took him

18、 to London,Paris and Belgium.When he decided to become a painter in 1880 with the support of his brother Theo,his early work was,not surprisingly,filled with the gloomy light of Northern Europe.译文译文Digging5 In Paris van Gogh met many of the artists later known as Impressionists,such as Degas,Toulous

19、e-Lautrec,Pissarro and Gauguin.His style changed under their influence,and became lighter and brighter.He used small strokes of primary colours(red,blue and yellow)and complementary colours(purple,orange and green).He was also sensitive to the more abstract style of Gauguins paintings,where shapes o

20、f objects are represented by distinct zones of colour.译文译文Digging6 Yet despite working in such an encouraging atmosphere,van Gogh could not equal his friends growing success.He was unable to pay for models,and so he painted a large number of self-portraits,which may indicate his potential for soul s

21、earching.译文译文Digging7 Van Gogh soon grew discouraged with his life in Paris,and moved to Arles in the south of France,where,drawn by the sunshine,he hoped to establish an artists community.He felt liberated by the people,the buildings and the scenery there,and painted them with vivid,passionate colo

22、urs and a cheerfulness which was new to him and his career.He was keen for Gauguin to visit him,and finally persuaded him to make the journey.译文译文DiggingThe paintings of Sunflowers and his home were partly intended as a welcome to Gauguin,partly a reflection of his happiness.But because of the inten

23、sity of van Goghs friendship for him and hostile disagreements about their working methods,Gauguin left Arles.At this event,van Gogh cut off part of his own right ear.译文译文Digging8 Van Gogh spent several desperate periods in a mental hospital over the next two years because of his depression and his

24、concern that he had heard voices.His style became more experimental,with stronger lines and sharper colours,always dominated by the green of the olive trees,the blue of the sky and the spectacular yellow of the sun.This was the period of his greatest output and some success,with the famous The Starr

25、y Night and other paintings being well-received by critics at the annual exhibition in Paris.译文译文Digging9 But these very productive periods were matched by moments when despair prevailed,during which he doubted his ability to create a work of value.In a delicate state of mind,van Gogh returned to a

26、friend near Paris and continued his work.In 1890 he shot himself,taking two days to die.10 So what is the link between his love of intense colour and his destructive mental state?译文译文Digging11 We now know more about mental and physical illness,and their effects.Van Gogh suffered from epilepsy,an ill

27、ness which leads to fits,and which may have been caused by a defect in the brain at birth.This was made worse by drinking absinthe,a popular but dangerous alcohol often drunk by artists at the time.His doctor prescribed a drug which can cause the patient to see everything in yellow or to see yellow

28、spots.This may have been why van Gogh loved the colour.Digging12 Van Gogh experienced a surge of activity,after which he became tired and depressed.We now recognize these to be symptoms of bipolar disorder.He also used lead-based paints,exposure to which can lead to lead poisoning.One of the symptom

29、s of lead poisoning is a swelling of the retinas in the eyes,which can cause one to see light in circles around objects.We can see this effect in paintings such as The Starry Night.译文译文Digging13 Another condition linked to epilepsy and manic behaviour is the spontaneous need to write continuously.Va

30、n Gogh wrote over 800 letters to his brother,Theo,which might be the result of this condition.译文译文Digging14 Van Gogh wanted his paintings to be realistic,so he worked outdoors.Some of the episodes of aggressiveness and feeling sick may be the effects of sunstroke.译文译文Digging15 Finally,hearing voices

31、 is a well-established symptom of schizophrenia,a serious mental illness which changes the relationship between what you think and reality.译文译文Digging16 We talk about the genius necessary to produce great works of art.In van Goghs case,his genius,especially in his use of colour,may be due to his men

32、tal health.As art lovers,we acknowledge that van Gogh produced some of the greatest paintings the world has ever known,and gave inspiration to so many later artists.But we should not overlook the mental torture he suffered for his art.译文译文1.and so he painted a large number of self-portraits,which ma

36、hip was a lot stronger on van Goghs part than Gauguins and this made the latter feel uncomfortable about it.The two argued bitterly about art(for example,van Gogh believed in painting out in the open,whereas Gauguin thought it better to paint from memory).As their relations got worse,van Gogh panick

37、ed that Gauguin would leave him,approached him with a razor blade in hand,and later cut off his own ear with the blade.Gauguin decided his presence only made van Goghs behaviour worse and he left Arles while his dangerous friend was recovering in hospital.Difficult sentences 4.In a delicate state of
