In 1888, Vincent Van Gogh moved to Arles, a town in southern France. The artist Paul
Gauguin moved there too, and they became good friends. The weather was beautiful, and
they were both inspired by the colorful countryside. They painted daily and talked about art,
but they didn’t have much money. Van Gogh often became sad and couldn’t paint. One day
he became very angry and argued with Gauguin. Gauguin left Arles, and shortly after, Van
Gogh cut off a piece of his own ear. After a while, Van Gogh began to paint again. He sent
some paintings to Paris but couldn’t sell them. Then, in 1890, early on a Sunday evening, Van
Gogh went out to the countryside with his paints. He took out a gun and shot himself in the
chest. His brother Theo traveled from Paris to be with him. Two days later, Van Gogh died. In
his short, sad life, Van Gogh painted 200 paintings. He sold only one of them. In 1990, one of
his paintings was sold for 82.5 million U.S. dollars.
