I will be doing my visual analysis on Vincent van Gogh painting of “The Starry Night” which he created in 1889 while admitted at the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole near Saint Remy de Provence. Van Gogh seeked out the opportunity to expand his self-taught painting skills and moved to Paris in 1886 from the Netherlands where he learned about the styles of Impressionists and Neo-Impressionists as well as Georges Seurat’s Pointillist compositional styles. Being inspired by the array of the combination of colors and shorter brushstrokes, he decided to brighten his own color pallet and painted with looser brushstrokes which brought attention and more emotion to the paint strokes on the canvas as you can see mainly in the swirling skies in his “The

     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.
