"A self-portrait in the grey tested hat", 1887г;
In the end of 1881 after quarrel with
the father, Van Gogh has lodged in the Hague. Some time
he studied at known landscape writer Anton Mauve. Van
Gogh's aggravated with shyness the excentric behaviour,
has pushed away from it those who wished to help him. He
lived with the woman by name of Christina, occurring
from the lower class, and often represented it in
pictures. When it has left from it, the artist in the
end of 1883 has returned to parents who lived then in
Njuenene.
In works njuenenskogo the period (1883–1885) the
originality of a creative manner of Van Gogh starts to
be shown. The master writes dark paints, plots of its
works are monotonous, in them the liking to peasants and
compassion to their difficult life is felt. The first
big picture created in njuenensky the period, – Eaters
of a potato (1885, Amsterdam, Van Gogh's fund), –
represents peasants at supper.
