Maybe you should tell us what "western art principles" are. I don't know what specifically you are looking for in this question and I know a fair amount about Van Gogh. As a side benefit, once you spell out which principles of western art you are concerned with here, you may end up answering the question yourself.

Being a post impressionist, he rejected everything about traditional, Western art that impressionism did and managed to take things a step or two further.
He himself rejected salon art {or vice versa}, traditional subject matter, the stylistic constraints that were prevalent at the time and traditional methods of paint application. As far as accepting Western art principles goes... he probably accepted what he had to. ...Painter ...late 1800s ...salon culture ...landscape ...portrait ...etc, as well as the aspects of then contemporary art that he found to be worthwhile. ...It's an outline anyway. |

Vincent's Western influences were Jean August Dominique Ingres, Jean Francois Millet, Eugene Delacroix , and the Impressionists. His Eastern influence was Japanese prints. He wanted to paint the common man like Millet in a grand style like Delacroix and Ingres but with simple brush strokes and colour areas like the Japanese prints he saw. I'm sure you can Google any of those names to see their work. I hope that helps.
