During his 10-year artistic career, Vincent van Gogh created a vivid personal style, noted for its striking color, emphatic brushwork, and contoured forms. This was seen in a few of his famous works including The Starry Night (1889) and The Bedroom (three versions painted in 1888 and 1889) as well as in his many still lifes, landscapes, and portraits. His achievement is all the more remarkable for the brevity of his career and considering the poverty and mental illness that dogged him.
