He spent his youth in rural Holland  and the countrys flat landscapes  trees  flowers  and birds would feature in his early art. After he moved to Paris  he encountered new radical thinking about art and humanitys changing relationship with nature. Later  in Provence and Auvers  he discovered unfamiliar terrain  flora  and fauna that further influenced his artistic ideas and subject matter.
