Vincent van Gogh practiced a variety of occupations; including that of an art dealer and pastor; before deciding to become a painter at the age of 27. During his artistic career; which lasted 10 years - from 1880 to 1890 - he created about 900 paintings and above than 1100 drawings; watercolors and sketches. With sarcasm and irony; in 1890; he defined his own art as a painter with words that it is "of very secondary significance." During his short art-career Van Gogh had sold only one painting. His most excellent paintings were created in no more than 3 years in a method that graduated more and more emotional in brushstroke; in symbolic and powerful colors; in surface tension; and in the movement and vibration of structure and contour. His unique synthesis of form and substance is potent; spectacular; lyrically spontaneous; creative; and expressive. His masterpieces have a variety of uniqueness that have been imitated by many artists but achieved by no one of them.
