Vincent van Gogh (March 30, 1853 in Zundert – July 29, 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise) was a Dutch draughtsman and painter, classified as a Post-Impressionist. His paintings and drawings include some of the world's best known, most popular and most expensive pieces. A kaleidoscope is a mosaic of changing symmetrical patterns. "Nature is reporting that Van Gogh works have a pattern of light and dark that closely follows the mathematical structure of turbulent flow. From the article: 'Vincent van Gogh is known for his chaotic paintings and similarly tumultuous state of mind. Now a mathematical analysis of his works reveals that the stormy patterns in many of his paintings are uncannily like real turbulence, as seen in swirling water or the air from a jet engine.'" nature.com, July 7, 2006 "We have the privilege of watching van Gogh discover the geometry of a line, the elliptical power of a sky full of dots, the rhythm of the ink itself." October 29, 2005, New York Times.
