Van Gogh developed a method of using color that was expressive and symbolic. He said-
"Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use my color more arbitrarily so as to express myself more forcibly."
This approach towards art marks the tendency of modern expressionist movement. Van Gogh also brought into use a variation in brushmarks for expressive effect, so that the materiality of the paint surface, its variety of textures, and the general marks vitalize the flat surface with emotional energy. This can be seen clearly in his most popular paintings, 'Sunflowers'.
