Detailed explanation-1: -During his 10-year artistic career, Vincent van Gogh created a vivid personal style, noted for its striking colour, emphatic brushwork, and contoured forms. His achievement is all the more remarkable for the brevity of his career and considering the poverty and mental illness that dogged him.
Detailed explanation-2: -This painting of a pair of down-at-heel shoes prompts speculation on a variety of psychological questions. They have been seen as symbolizing Van Gogh’s difficult passage through life. A fellow student in Paris reported that Vincent bought these workman’s boots at a flea market, intending to use them in a still life.
Detailed explanation-3: -Van Gogh’s Pair of Old Shoes fits in very well with his other works of Expressionism. During this period in his life, around 1883-1886, he painted images to represent the sentiments that he felt.
