Analysis Of The Starry Night Art

During Vincent’s time at the Saint-Rémy sanatorium, he painted one of his renowned landscape paintings, Starry Night in 1889. The choice of medium used was oil paint where Vincent famously displayed his impasto technique on the hemp material canvas. He wrote to his brother about his inspiration stating, “This morning I saw the country from my window a long time before sunrise, with nothing but the morning star, which looked very big” . Hence, you can infer that Starry Night was painted from the view of Vincent’s room where the background of the composition depicts the night scenery of a small and peaceful village, which juxtaposes the movements of the brightly lit sky. However, Vincent did not exactly follow what he saw from his window but painted from what he saw in his imagination, following the likes of Gauguin.

In this piece of art Van Gogh shows that even tho in a dark night you can still look out your window at night and see light. Another example of that would be in your dark or hard times in life, there is always a brighter side to everything.

People often enjoy the connection they have with nature. They take time to appreciate their surroundings and take it all in when they head out to do errands or go out for walks. In the essay Lessons of a Starry Night, Kelly McMasters wants to have that same connection with nature through her newly born son. With her family splitting their time between homes in Manhattan and Pennsylvania, she wants to experience special moments with her new son by reconnecting with nature and making lasting memories for both of them. Her words made me remember some childhood memories like when I was building a snowman for the first time and then throwing myself into the snow to make snow angels next to my sister. McMasters gives a description

My first artifact is the House of Chan’s menu. I chose this because I love food and the idea of early types of food in the 1800 till now fascinates me mostly its price. The menu was made when the restaurant was built in 1957. The building was founded by Irv Howard and is located at Bathurst Street and Eglinton Avenue West, which sadly closed, but they built a new one on 514 Eglinton Ave and Penny Lyons later on. The menu show the prices of the food in which they were selling. The prices are so amazing that with just 10$ I can eat my breakfast lunch and dinner and still have some cash left. When the first House of Chan was built it was around the time of the Vietnam War when America was fighting Vietnam to stop communist from spreading. What shock me the most was that even when China were communist people still accept their food and there culture. In one of website that I read Mr. Howard knew how to run a room but with the amount of hate against the war I can’t imagine how he could have run the place. Also during the time rock roll was a popular thing and Elvis Presley the king of rock

“From Night” is a story told from a young Jewish boy's perspective, in Germany during the Holocaust. The young Elie shows us very in depth and detailed story of the events happening at the camp. Through this perspective we get a better look at how the Germans treated the Jews with such intolerance and prejudice. Although this story helps us see into to times of such events, the reader can’t help but to feel for the poor boy.

The first four sources I will be using are related to “The Starry Night” painting from Vincent van Gogh. The first source, located on MOMA Learning, is titled "Vincent van Gogh: The Starry Night, 1889” which does not appear to have an author or publication date. The MOMA Learning article provides insights into the interpretations of the artwork, including insights into Van Gogh’s mental state at the time that the painting. Additionally, the article provides relevant information regarding the post-impressionists use of their art as a way to express their emotions and “psychological responses to the world through bold colors and expressive, often symbolic images” (MOMA Learning, n.d.). The second source is “Van Gogh: Art and Suicide”

Vincent Van Gogh was a Dutch artist from the mid 1800’s who was considered to have created approximately 2000 artworks. Growing up, he was classified to be highly emotional and having low self-esteem. Within those depressed emotions, it helped him pioneer the path of expressionism in his art pieces. But as he got more into him artwork he came more mature with his artwork and caused his color patterns and brush strokes to evolve into another style of art called Impressionism. Starry Night Over the Rhone was one of his last ‘few years’ paintings. It was painted in September of 1888. The canvas resides in Musée d'Orsay,

     With its swirling colors and lines, The Starry Night, incorporates not just the color and light that is found in the earlier works of these painters, but it shows how forms and feelings also came into play. One of van Gogh’s main beliefs was that art was a direct representation of how the artist feels. Having grown up in a very religious family, van Gogh viewed the heavens as a beautiful, living thing. His heavy brushstrokes and vivid colors portray the night sky as crazy and chaotic and the village below as peaceful and serene. Van Gogh’s troubled life, which involved many failures in life, love and business, forced him into madness, which eventually caused him to commit suicide. While the problems of his life may have caused personal trauma, the artistic importance of his insanity is overwhelming. Perhaps if he had not gone crazy, he never would have created the masterpieces that have had such an impact on art and history.

One of Vincent Van Gogh’s most world renowned paintings is his landscape oil painting Starry Night. The painting displays a small town underneath an unusual yet still extremely beautiful night sky. In this night sky, Van Gogh utilizes an array of colors that blend well together in order to enhance the sky as a whole. The town is clearly a small one due to the amount of buildings that are present in the painting itself. In this small town most of the buildings have lights on which symbolize life in a community. Another visual in Starry Night is the mountain like figures that appear in the background of the illustrious painting. Several things contribute to the beauty of Van Gogh’s painting which are the painting’s function, context, style, and design. Van Gogh’s utilization of these elements help bring further emphasis to his work in Starry Night.
