The poetical words and artistic idea are those aspects of man’s culture which tend to excite people and let them know something more than just an ordinary things appearing in the world. Many representatives of art were the luminaries, in fact, in the world of faint colors of life along with dull imagination of something good. Due to the outstanding persons who made some grave contributes into the world of human cultural heritage people can now share the fruits of artistic thought and overwhelming implementation of different elements to support the entire idea and strive of people to the beautiful and precious things surrounding them. This paper is dedicated to work out the philosophical and ideological background in the works of Van Gogh with the help of critique of some authors having investigated the issues of contemporary and ancient arts.
