阅读理解。 He lived his whole life as a poor man. His art and talent were recognized by almost no one. He

suffered from a mental illness that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two

years later. But after his death, he achieved world fame. Today, Dutch artist Van Gogh is recognized as

one of the leading artists of all time.

Now, 150 years after his birth on March 30, 1853, Zundert, the town of his birth, has made 2003

"The Van Gogh Year" in his honor. And the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, home to the biggest

collection of his masterpiece, is marking the anniversary with exhibitions throughout the year. The

museum draws around 1.3 million visitors every year. Some people enjoy the art and then learn about

his life. Others are interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art.

Van Gogh was the son of the minister. He left school when he was just 15. By the age of 27, he

had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher. Finally in 1880, he

decided to begin his studies in art.

Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotion into his paintings and show his feelings

about a scene. His style is marked by short, broad brush strokes (绘画笔法). "Instead of trying to

reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use color more freely, in order to express myself more

forcefully," he wrote in a letter to his brother in 1888.

Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life. He relied heavily on support from his brother,

an art dealer who lived in Paris. But now his works are sold for millions of dollars. His portrait of Dr.

Gacher sold for ＄89.5 million in 1990. It is the highest price ever paid for a painting. "I think his

paintings are powerful and the brilliant color in them are attractive to people," said a Van Gogh's fan.1. All through his life Van Gogh _____. A. depended on his brother
