The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh is consistent of his typical artwork. He uses the lines free and loose making it an expression of his contour lines. The spacing between the stars and the curving contours making it a dot to dot effect. Van Gogh’s, The Starry Night” portrays his personal emotion. He writes to his brother about his painting almost as if he would be confused himself about the painting. The village is dark but at the same time it is peaceful compared to the dramatic sky life. In Sol Le Witts, Wall Drawing it uses an ordered form and symmetrical form called classical lines. The line Sol Le Witts uses is considered a connection between two separate points. Although his work is displayed throughout various art museums, the actual work is not his own. Le Witts has the ideas and then gives the workers instructions on what he wants done. This reflects his personality in the way that his art work is controlled. The line form he uses is symmetrical. Sol Le Witt is unlike Van Gogh’s when it comes to his personality. In which Le Witt’s personality is logical and Van Gogh’s is emotional and chaotic. Both artists’ have clearly shown their personality in their art work through their different line forms and expressions.…
Distintively visual features have been used in the colour, shading, lighting and placement in starry starry night. The use of the colours in the painting have been choosing to grabe your attention and get your eyes onto certain points of the painting. The bright yellow of the moon and star’s with shading around them of the deep purple of the skyhelp see the emotions of van gogh. The lighting of the painting is a very bright feactures with a dark background, but also the town is seen in a dim light and seen as almost a different element in the painting. This is done to show van gogh’s absent from society. The placement of these elements on other elemsnts of the paintings placement of the large moon and the stars with large trees but a small…
Some objects in the painting are a pregnant woman, a burning candle, a skull, and a cross lying on the table under some books. The way the woman’s head is rested on her hand and she is staring into the candle light, shows that she is in deep thought. I believe that the woman is reflecting upon her life. She looks to be pregnant, which represents life. The unity of…
We agreed on Vincent Van Gogh because we were inspired by his ability to create such breathtaking pieces of art which managed to make him an artistic icon, despite the numerous mental illnesses that he suffered from throughout his life. Vincent van Gogh took his own life in 1890. Within twenty years of his death, there were memorial shows of his works all over the world influencing generations of artists to come, including the incredible modern artist, Alex Ruiz. We chose Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’, because we know a great deal of information about the painting, and its powerful significance in the art world. Our second artist of choice was Alex Ruiz, since we happened to find that he had created a digital painting, entitled ‘Starry Night’, depicting how the night sky had looked in his own personal perspective at the moment Van Gogh painted ‘Starry Night’. After further reading about Alex Ruiz, we were deeply inspired by his thriving and successful career in digital illustration, and his ability to break into the art business at such a young age.…
The meaning of the painting, as perceived, is the hindrance black people faced in entering the land of prosperity; the obstacle they faced was nothing other than White dominance. There is a White giant like figure in the middle of the painting with a sharp teethed wolf or monster underneath, creating a sense of evilness and scariness. They block the blacks from entering their dreams, in other words, a successful life. As a result, black people are sad and…
Pretty much as Vincent Van Gogh, I likewise thought amid his period that present-day life, with its steady social change and concentrate on advancement and achievement, estranged individuals from each other and from themselves. As we all know individuals experiencing an unbalance mental condition as Van Gogh did were not in contact with the truth. I think Van Gogh unbalance condition was overpowering while he searched for a puzzling impact to his depiction. Concerning myself, it is difficult to center when I drink alcohol so contrasting it with Van Gogh mental condition must had likewise been troublesome for him to center which is the reason he paint expressionism conceptual. The Starry Night, 1889, oil on canvas, 28 ¾ x 36 ¼", by Vincent…
The Starry Night is from late 19th century and is an oil painting Van Gogh used to symbolize events and facts from his early life. While the painting is well known for its remarkable…
This painting depicts a scenic landscape filled with a winding road, a house, an island, and a body of water. Despite the many different features, the painting gives the viewer a sense of calmness. The large amount of negative space implies a feeling of loneliness, as much of the sky, water, and mountains in the background take up most of the painting. The perspective of the painting allows the viewer to determine that there is deep space because the house is far down the winding dirt road and the island is fairly distant off of the coast. I also find the scale of this painting to be interesting because it conveys how far away the man on the bottom right is from the building.…
This is a portrait of Thomas Adès. The height alone creates a tall and ominous stance as it is hug above head height. The painting could almost be seen as life sized. The fact how he continued to paint from his own perspective down the painting is what makes this painting interesting. Hale stood over Sitter as he paints. The British pianist and composer lay in an awkward position, which could symbolize the relationship between Hale and Thomas Adès. The twisted angle of Thomas Adès creates an uneasy mood for the observer. The position of Thomas Adès’ hands how they seem stretched and splayed out of position causes the observer to think twice about the comfort of the sitter. The transparent table, glass and ashtray could symbolize the feelings that Thomas Adès conveys, Transparent and apparent.…
Firstly, when I looked at this painting I was automatically drawn to it. The art itself, reminds me of the times when my mother would sew at home, and I, would be the little girl leaning on her lap watching her. I also felt an emotion of happiness as it made me remember the power and…
Van Gogh is a widely famous artist of the late 1880s. He is most famous for his work Starry Night. Born in 1853, Vincent’s artistic career started in his twenties after having many different types of careers (Living with Art 11). From being a student to a preacher to a bookseller, he finally found a life of art (Van Gogh Museum). He seemed to have struggled greatly with self-esteem and self-worth, as he struggled with many women in his short time and, as his work shows, his art follows his path of self- pity and sorrow.…
I feel that this painting does evoke thoughts and emotions. When I look at this painting I feel a sense of freedom. I feel that this artwork represents freedom because of the numerous amounts of implied lines that lead to other implied lines. I feel as if the painting is leading my eyes on never-ending maze. The freedom…
Take a moment to objectively look at this painting. Refrain from assigning labels to the components of the painting and instead observe the rich colors and varied shapes throughout the painting. How does this painting make you feel? Perhaps it incites curiosity, what is the young woman looking at?, or happy memories of a time you observed an event…
“Starry Night is one of his best artworks because it was painted from his memory and not a place. This artwork showed a quest of Van Gogh overcoming his illness and reflected the dimness of the disease in the night sky. Starry Night has an enhanced flow that is easy on the eyes” (SHABI).”Fourteen Sunflowers in a Vase describe the color yellow as blooming and it expresses the entire lifespan of the flower with the bright color yellow to wilting and being died” (Gayford). “Church at Auver is based on complex relationship to spirituality and religion. The painting has an acidic tone and the darkness of the church show a quiet setting that leads to the suicide of Vincent Van Gogh.”…
I believe this painting shows a loss of identity. This is the reason I chose this as my favorite piece of art, because I can relate to it. There came a time in my life where I was struggling with my own identity. In today's world it is very significant to identify oneself with at least one thing (ones ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, or a particular belief). Many people still grapple with the notion of identity in many countries, regions, and various ways in order to fit or adapt into any environment (social, economic, cultural, political, etc). One’s identity determines ones position or situation in society wherever one lives. However, finding the right type of…
