The Bedroom : One Of The Artroom By Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh mentions how one will not find trompe l’oeil in his paintings because he did not have any type of technique when it came to painting. Van Gogh tries to capture the essence in the drawing because he is always working directly on the spot. He wanted to rid people of their preconceived ideas of technique and surprise them with his irregular strokes and roughness. When he describes the painting of the asylum garden he focuses on the colors. He compares the colors to different emotions, for example he says that the colors red ochre, green, grey, and black heighten a sense of anxiety that his companions often suffer from. Van Gogh also describes another painting of a field with colors of lilac, green, yellow, and a bright white sun

I image him creating this amazing painting while sitting in his room and looking out his window early in the morning, or late at night. I think the rich blue colors make the painting seem less depressing and actually makes the photo have a much more charming feel to it. I think this is interesting because you would think van Gogh would draw something darker since he was basically locked up and couldn’t

The life span of 37 years saw Vincent Willem van Gogh (Vincent) in creating beautiful works he dearly loved. Painting was an avenue, which allowed him to express his inner thoughts or vent his struggles. My decision to research on Vincent’s painting, Starry Night (1889) came with the inspiration from Don Mclean’s Song, Starry Starry Night where his lyrics spoke about Vincent’s life that further intrigued me in writing this paper.

     Van Gogh's use of line really gives depth and character to the piece. The first line that caught my eye was the line outlining the bottom of the bed. The strong stroke really gives you a sense of distance between the bottom of the frame and the floor. Had it been a thin line like those to depict the floorboards, it would look like the bed was sitting directly on the floor. His use of brush strokes and the thickness of them vary immensely in the painting to create depth. The strong strokes of

Art is an evolving subject that changes with time and ideas. Inspired by their earlier compatriots, some artists produce new artworks by enhancing the existing ones. Roy Lichtenstein became such an artist when he created a new version of the Bedroom at Arles painting after being inspired by the Bedroom at Arles artwork that was made by Vincent Van Gogh. Having received little recognition during his lifetime, Van Gogh’s popularity as a great painter and artist grew immensely after his death in 1890. He was a post-impressionist writer from Netherlands whose paintings gave rise to modern art. Gogh’s painting, Bedroom in Arles was created in October 1888 and is an expression of his own life. In addition to this painting, Van Gogh produced about 2,100 pieces of art out of which 860 were oil paintings. On the other hand, Roy Fox Lichtenstein was a modern artist who was instrumental in the 20th century art movement. His primary style was the use of parody to define pop art. Most of Lichtenstein’s work was influenced by the comic book style and popular advertising. Consequently, He was often referred to as a pop artist. Lichtenstein’s Bedroom at Arles is based on the original painting by Van Gogh, and it was made in 1992. This is the only painting of an interior that was made by Lichtenstein, and it depicts the contemporary appearance of a bedroom in the afternoon.

This is a possibility. In fact, despite the evidence of his happiness, present in this painting, Van Gogh was not married2 and many clues here let us think that he wished to be. Although the bedroom is very sparsely furnished and only contains essential items (which shows, in addition to the choice of colors, a great simplicity), we notice that many of these objects go together in pairs (two pillows, two chairs, two portraits on the wall, two drawings, and even two doors). Thus, this painting on canvas was perhaps his way of expressing his wish to meet someone and that his bedroom was arranged so as to welcome her. But because it was just him in this bedroom, he certainly

In this analysis I will call into question the newsworthiness and privacy issues found in the problematic Love and Radio episode “The Living Room.” Love and Radio describes the podcast as an “intimate, but very one-sided relationship,” and this description should not be taken lightheartedly. Though a beautifully crafted story about loss and the human experience, Diane Weipert’s “experience” with complete strangers comes off as creepy and unethical, during a time in mass media where intrusion equals newsworthiness. This analysis assumes this podcast is a work of nonfiction, not a fictional story as some listeners have suggested.

In society, there has always been a gap between men and women. Women are generally expected to be homebodies, and seen as inferior to their husbands. The man is always correct, as he is more educated, and a woman must respect the man as they provide for the woman’s life. During the Victorian Era, women were very accommodating to fit the “house wife” stereotype. Women were to be a representation of love, purity and family; abandoning this stereotype would be seen as churlish living and a depredation of family status. Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" and Henry Isben’s play A Doll's House depict women in the Victorian Era who were very much menial to their husbands. Nora Helmer, the protagonist in A Doll’s House

Harvey Milk once said “it takes no compromising to give people their rights. It takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no survey to remove repressions.” He lived in a time when there was discrimination of homosexuals and he experienced it; being the first gay man elected to Board of Supervisors in San Francisco. In the 1940’s and 50’s homosexual people were discriminated it was viewed as a disease and was described as “sociopathic personality disturbance. Homosexual activities were illegal and people were imprisoned for having consensual sex with another man. Despite the dangers and difficulties, homosexual people found a way to meet and confide in themselves. Most wrote books as a way to express themselves; it gave

James Baldwin once said, “Everybody 's journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality. ” From the moment babies are born, most parents treat boys and girls differently. One study says that parents have different expectations for boys and girls as early as 24 hours from birth, according to Susan D. Witt of the University of Akron. According to healthychildren.org, infants become aware of their sex within in the first year of life. Between ages 1 and 2, children begin to notice the physical differences between males and females, and typically by their third birthday they are able to easily identify themselves as a boy or a girl. People are faced with many obstacles that alter their life. Just like the many controversies in society, “Giovanni’s Room” by James Baldwin discusses a young man being gay in a society and a family who are simply not ready to accept his sexual orientation and neither does he. This fiction also emphasizes the battle that he faces with self-acceptance. Gender identity and American norms in society is widely discussed almost every day. Americans are becoming more open and accepting of the LGBT community, as well as against the LGBT community.

The oil painting is an attempt to map the motion and energy of the body. It is a sequential depiction of movement split into a series of about twenty different static positions that show a nude figure descending a flight of stairs. The nude, like the notion of the painting, is abstract, composed of conical and cylindrical shapes and elements, assembled in a way that suggests the rhythm of the body when going downstairs. The colours used are those typical of Cubist paintings - ochres and browns. This is because Cubists felt that using a

Coming into this Art Appreciation class, I knew very little about who Vincent Van Gogh was as an artist, and as a person. I feel I’ve learned a great deal about him after just a few short classes, especially after listening to the heartfelt song written to him by Don Mclean, titled Vincent. I now realize that the struggles Vincent experienced from his mental disorders were communicated through his many paintings, and there’s much more to the artwork than the painting itself, of which I already find very impressive. I think Don Mclean does a phenomenal job at capturing these feelings in his song. Even though I’m already a fan of his music, Vincent really moved me on more of an emotional level.

Although it is hard to use all of these elements Van Gogh did it in an excellent manner, with nothing in this painting being overpowering to the viewer's eye. This may be the reason for the great success for Van Gogh and his piece. This piece was so different for the era that Van Gogh did not live to see his paintings success, even though he was not successful in his lifetime most of his pieces are still remembered today for their strong composition and

Another main focal point in this canvas was subject matter. This is where the objects or events are described. The artist gives us different objects such as the old couple seems displayed as depressing. Or you can observe it as normal couple, walking across the river, enjoying the night. He also gives us a boat which could possibly be giving us a correlation because the boat looks like it’s broken or about to sink. There is also another interpretation with the object that Van Gogh displays which is, the stars. Depending upon which way you want to take it, they look like flowers or fireworks. Also, there is a sense of false appearance with the houses. If you stare at just the bank you will notice that it is just a bunch of bright lights but if you pay attention to the water close to the bank, you will acknowledge the darkness or shadow of the houses.

Vincent Van Gogh is one of the most recognized artists in the world. Van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853 in Groot-Zundert, Netherlands. Van Gogh was born into a family of six children in which his father was a pastor and his mother was an artist. He was named after his stillborn brother who died exactly one year before he was born.
