  Vincent van Gogh is often remembered as the painter who cut off his ear in a fit of passion. He was a lonely man who often went without1 food insgroupsto buy paints, a man with few friends and a stormy temper.2 Van Gogh's strong emotions3 not only affected4 his life, but his paintings as well.

  Many of van Gogh's paintings were inspired by warm, yellow sunlight because he loved how it could light up the world in different ways. His painting Sunflowers, for example, is filled with vivid5 yellows and browns. These colors give the painting a feeling of warmth and well-being. However, the sunflowers are actually dead and dying.

  The result is a painting that mixes the warmth of life that van Gogh loved with the feelings of sadness that were all around him. It is a painting that is warm, beautiful and sad, all at the same time.

  ●Sunflowers《向日葵》

  ●well-being安宁

温暖和悲伤同时绽放的画:梵高传

  Sentence 4U:
   (点击右键“另存为”可下载语音)

  as well也。例如:

  Debbie used her computer to play online games, and her brother did as well.

  黛比用她的计算机玩在线游戏,她弟弟也是。

  文森特-梵高总会被人记成一时冲动下割掉自己耳朵的画家。他是个寂寞的人,为了买颜料三餐不济,他鲜有朋友并且脾气火爆。梵高强烈的情感不仅影响了他的一生,也同样影响了他的画。

  梵高的许多画都受到温暖的黄色阳光的启发,因为他热爱阳光照亮世界的不同方式。例如,他的《向日葵》这幅画就充满了鲜明的黄色和棕色。这些色彩赋予这幅画一种温暖、幸福的感觉。然而,向日葵事实上早已枯死或即将枯萎。

  结果是一幅混合了梵高所热爱的生命的温暖和萦绕着他的伤感的画。这是一幅温暖、美丽和悲伤在同一时间绽放的画。
