Vincent van Gogh was a Dutchpost-Impressionist painter whose work, notable for its roughbeauty, emotional honesty, and bold color, had a far-reachinginfluence on 20th-century art. His work was then known to only ahandful of people and appreciated by fewer still.

Van Gogh began to draw as a child, and he continued to drawthroughout the years that led up to his decision to become anartist. He did not begin painting until his late twenties,completing many of his best-known works during the last two yearsof his life. In just over a decade, he produced more than 2,100artworks, consisting of 860 oil paintings and more than 1,300watercolors, drawings, sketches and prints. His work included selfportraits, landscapes, still lifes of flowers, portraits andpaintings of cypresses, wheat fields and sunflowers.

Van Gogh spent his early adulthood working for a firm of artdealers, traveling between The Hague, London and Paris, after whichhe taught for a time in England. One of his early aspirations wasto become a pastor and from 1879 he worked as a missionary in amining region in Belgium where he began to sketch people from thelocal community. In 1885, he painted his first major work ThePotato Eaters. His palette at the time consisted mainly of somberearth tones and showed no sign of the vivid coloration thatdistinguished his later work. In March 1886, he moved to Paris anddiscovered the French Impressionists. Later, he moved to the southof France and was impacted by the strong sunlight he found there.His work grew brighter in color, and he developed the unique andhighly recognizable style that became fully realized during hisstay in Arles in 1888.

The extent to which his mental health affected his painting hasbeen a subject of speculation since his death. Despite a widespreadtendency to romanticize his ill health, modern critics see anartist deeply frustrated by the inactivity and incoherence broughtabout by his bouts of illness. According to art critic RobertHughes, van Gogh's late works show an artist at the height of hisability, completely in control and "longing for concision andgrace.”

If you’re not sure what live wallpapers are, they're a type ofapplication that works on a mobile device using the Androidoperating system (like your device!). The application works as awallpaper – providing the background image for the home screen—butalso works as a conventional application since it can provideuser-interaction with the touch screen (allowing the image tochange dynamically, for example) and access other hardware andsoftware features within the device (accelerometer, GPS, networkaccess, etc.).

**Multiple backgrounds!** Switch up the background as often oras little as you like with user-configurable options.

**Power saving features!** This app uses much less power thantypical live wallpapers. It will take a bit more power to operatethan a normal wallpaper, but much, much less battery power than theaverage live wallpaper.

**Super easy to use!** Upon install the app will bring up theoptions menu and then immediately let you set the wallpaper. Nohassle and easy to use!

**Translated to 35 languages!** Do you really, really want tolearn Russian? We didn’t think so, but it’s available just in case,in any language your phone can display!

Please note that live wallpapers can’t be set automatically.We’ll bring you to the setup screen where you’ll select the livewallpaper. We’d love to do it automatically but Android doesn’tallow it. Maybe some day.
