他威脅說要剪掉我的頭發(fā)。在1881年11月至1890年7月之間，文森特·凡·高大約畫了900幅畫，卻沒有成名。但自從他死后，他成了世界上最負(fù)盛名的畫家之一。Translation原文文森特·凡·高大部分人所知道的凡·高的兩個(gè)最重要但顯然互不相關(guān)的特點(diǎn)是：他對(duì)色彩神奇、幾乎具有爆發(fā)力的運(yùn)用以及他糟糕的精神狀態(tài)，后者最終導(dǎo)致他生命悲劇性的結(jié)束。Translation原文但是，根據(jù)凡·高死后的醫(yī)學(xué)調(diào)查，現(xiàn)在看來這兩個(gè)特點(diǎn)可能是彼此相關(guān)的，無論是在他生命的最后還是更早的時(shí)期，他的精神狀況都可能影響了他的藝術(shù)風(fēng)格。Translation原文凡·高于1853年出生于荷蘭，早年替一位國(guó)際藝術(shù)商工作，因此他去過倫敦、巴黎及比利時(shí)。1880年在他弟弟西奧的支持下，他決定成為一個(gè)畫家，因此，他早期的作品充滿了北歐昏暗的光線。Translation原文在巴黎，凡·高遇到了許多后來被稱為印象主義派的藝術(shù)家，如德加、土魯斯-勞特。累克、畢沙羅、高庚。他的風(fēng)格受到他們的影響而發(fā)生了改變，變得輕快而明亮。他使用細(xì)微線條的原色（紅、藍(lán)、黃）和補(bǔ)色（紫、橙、綠）。他還對(duì)高庚畫作的相對(duì)抽象風(fēng)格很敏感，在高庚的畫作中，物體的形狀都通過不同的顏色區(qū)域表現(xiàn)出來。Translation原文但是，盡管在這樣激勵(lì)人心的氣氛下工作，凡·高還是沒法與他那些越來越成功的朋友們相比。他付不起錢請(qǐng)模特，所以他畫了很多自畫像，那些自畫像可能展現(xiàn)了他探索內(nèi)心的天賦。Translation原文凡·高很快就對(duì)他在巴黎的生活感到氣餒，所以他搬到了法國(guó)南部的亞爾，那兒的陽光吸引了他，他希望在那兒成立一個(gè)畫家之家。他感覺自己從那兒的人、建筑物及景色中得到釋放，所以他用生動(dòng)而充滿激情的色彩，用他自己和他的事業(yè)中從未有過的振奮來描繪他們。他熱切地希望高庚來看他并且最終說服了高庚前往亞爾。Translation原文《向日葵》及描繪他家的畫作一方面是為了迎接高庚，另一方面也反映了他的喜悅之情。但因?yàn)榉病じ邔?duì)高庚的強(qiáng)烈的友情及他們關(guān)于繪畫方法的帶敵意的爭(zhēng)論，高庚離開了亞爾。因?yàn)檫@件事，凡·高切掉了自己的一部分右耳。Translation原文因?yàn)橐钟艉突寐?，凡·高在接下來的兩年里進(jìn)出了好幾次精神病院。他的風(fēng)格變得更具實(shí)驗(yàn)性，線條更粗獷有力，色彩更明艷，常以橄欖綠、天藍(lán)及明黃色為主。這是他最多產(chǎn)的一段時(shí)期，他也開始有了一些成就，著名的《星夜》及其他一些畫作在巴黎年度畫展上受到了評(píng)論家的好評(píng)。Translation原文但他的創(chuàng)作高峰期也是他最絕望的時(shí)期，在這段時(shí)期他懷疑自己沒有能力創(chuàng)作出有價(jià)值的作品。在脆弱的精神狀態(tài)下，凡·高回到了一個(gè)住在巴黎附近的朋友身邊繼續(xù)工作。1890年，他開槍自殺，兩天后去世。那么他對(duì)絢麗色彩的喜愛與他毀滅性的精神狀態(tài)之間有什么聯(lián)系呢？Translation原文

我們現(xiàn)在了解更多關(guān)于凡·高精神與身體的疾病及它們所造成的影響。凡·高患有癲癇病，這種病會(huì)導(dǎo)致昏厥，可能是因?yàn)槌錾鷷r(shí)腦部有缺陷。喝苦艾酒會(huì)加重病情，苦艾酒是種流行但危險(xiǎn)的飲料，那時(shí)候的藝術(shù)家們經(jīng)常喝。他的醫(yī)生給他開了一種藥，這種藥能使病人把所有事物都看成黃色或看到很多黃點(diǎn)。這可能是凡·高喜歡黃色的原因吧。Translation原文凡·高經(jīng)歷了一段旺盛期后開始變得疲倦而抑郁。我們現(xiàn)在知道這是躁郁癥的癥狀。而且他還使用鉛制顏料，接觸鉛可能引起鉛中毒。鉛中毒的癥狀之一是視網(wǎng)膜紅腫，這會(huì)導(dǎo)致人看到物體周圍圍繞著環(huán)狀光。在一些畫作如《星夜》中我們可以看到這樣的效果。Translation原文另一種與癲癇病及狂躁行為有關(guān)的情況是自發(fā)的不斷寫作的需求?？赡苁且?yàn)檫@個(gè)原因，凡·高給他的弟弟西奧寫了800多封信。Translation原文為了使作品寫實(shí)，凡·高在戶外創(chuàng)作。他有時(shí)表現(xiàn)出的攻擊性和感到惡心可能是中暑帶來的后果。Translation原文最后，幻聽也是精神分裂癥的一個(gè)典型癥狀，精神分裂癥是嚴(yán)重的精神疾病，會(huì)讓人混淆什么是所想，什么是現(xiàn)實(shí)。Translation原文我們提到創(chuàng)作偉大藝術(shù)作品所需要的天賦，對(duì)凡·高而言，他的天賦，特別是他運(yùn)用色彩的天賦，可能得歸功于他的精神健康狀況。作為藝術(shù)愛好者，我們承認(rèn)凡·高創(chuàng)作了一些世人所知的最偉大的畫作，并為他以后的許多藝術(shù)家提供了靈感，但我們不能忽視他為了藝術(shù)而遭受的精神折磨。Translation原文BackgroundinformationTheImpressionists(印象派畫家)wereagroupofpaintersattheendofthe19thcentury.Theyweregiventhisnameafteranewspapercriticthoughttheywerepaintingonlysketches,orimpressions.Thiscontrastedwiththerealismofphotographywhi
