Farmhouse in Provence' (1888), also known as 'Entrance Gate to a Farm with Haystacks'; was painted in beautiful landscapes of Arles, in the south of France where Van Goph tried to escape modern life and re-discover a simpler, brighter world. Pairs of complementary colors - the red and green of the plants, the woven highlights of oranges and blue in the fence, even the pink clouds that enliven the turquoise sky - shimmer and seem almost to vibrate against each other. Van Gogh wrote, "if I didn't know how colors behaved from the researches of...scientists, we [the impressionists] would not have been able to pursue our study of light with so much confidence!" *Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) : Van Gogh is a Dutch post-impressionist painter who is among the most known and powerful figures within the history of Western art.�His paintings embrace landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits; defined by vibrant colors and dramatic, impulsive and communication technique that contributed to the foundations of recent art.�After suicide, he earned widespread vital, commercial and widespread success over the following decades, and he's remembered as vital however tragic painter.�Today, Van Gogh's works are among the world's costliest paintings ever sold-out, and his inheritance is worthy by a museum in his name, the Van Gogh Museum�in Amsterdam.
