Vincet Van Gogh's Starry Night

I have chosen Romanticism/ Post Impressionism, Olive Trees with yellow sky and sun, by Vincent Van Gogh; The Oxbow, by Thomas Cole, comparing it to the “Spirit Rising, by Christophe Vacher”.

Vincent van Gogh- Starry Night, 1889, Post impressionism, Oil on canvas, 29 x 36 ¼ in, Museum of Modern Art, NYC

Post-Impressionists left behind the Impressionist doctrine of truth to nature. Rather, they chose “in favor of restless feeling and intense color, as in this highly charged picture, van Gogh made his work a touchstone for all subsequent Expressionist painting” (WikiArt, 2016). Vincent Van Gogh’s, The Starry Night, is Post-Impressionism oil painting on canvas. He created it in 1889, during the time he was committed to the mental asylum in Saint-Rémy, France.

The Blue Boy, (1770) by Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788) oil on canvas. The Blue Boy was first attempt at a full length Van Dyck dress and Gainsborough’s control of paint and mastery of his brushwork brought people flocking to it. I personally want to see this piece because it’s famous and who doesn’t want to see and study a painting like this up close and in

I chose the drawing of Van Gogh "Road with Cypress and Star". I think that this drawing connection to the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Forst for a few reasons.

The artwork that I chose was The Slave Ship by J.M.W. Turner. This was a piece made with oil on canvas, made in 1840. The subject includes a slave ship on the ocean with a storm coming. Some objects in this painting are a ship, raging ocean, birds, and bodies in the ocean. The Slave Ship was created during the romantic era. One quality that shows the piece is from the romantic era is that he displays humans as helpless to nature. Turner uses dark reds, grays, blues, and yellows to convey despair and hardship. He did a great job of showing that nature is superior to humans by his proportion of the slave ship. The ship is small and engulfed in waves showing that even though humans may be selfish, nature will always have a power

The first post-impressionist I chose is Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. The night sky is filled with swirling clouds, stars ablaze and a bright crescent moon. The sky keeps viewer’s

The Impressionist and Post-Impressionist eras have produced many great painters that are still relevant to this day. Among these painters is Vincent Van Gogh, who created hundreds of paintings in a span of a short ten-year career. The three articles by Friedman, Schapiro and Bhattacharyya all analyze Van Gogh’s Wheatfield with Crows based on the artist’s physical and mental state, but differ in their approaches (Fig. 1).

The piece I chose is Pablo Picasso’s “Nude combing her hair”. I first saw it at the Kimbell Art Museum and remember admiring it. It was finished in 1906 and is oil paint on canvas. The main (only) figure in this painting is a nude woman, standing, who appears to be combing through her hair with her fingers after bathing. Although abstract, Picasso creates a very elegant, raw, and naturalistic form using color, space, and his depiction of figure.

No, I was unable to readily understand or identify the theme of the art work in Amanda’s collection. At first I was able to see a theme with the Representational art pieces The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh and the Trolley by Robert Frank. The next three pieces of art doesn’t follow the same theme the Free Stamp by Claes Oldenburg, and New Shelton Wet Dry by Jeff Koons are both sculptures which don't follow the same theme as the first two. The last art piece in the collection is The Crossing by Bill Viola which is a video and doesn't follow the theme as the others.

One of my favorite paintings I would have to say is Bronzino’s painting Eleanor of Toledo. The reason that is, is because I really like the details in the painting. A lot of the art during the Renaissance were rich in drama and emotion. In fact, in this painting there’s vivid emotion that is portrayed in the expressions of Eleanor and the little

Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night (p. 389) in 1889. For this piece of artwork van Gogh used oil paint on a 29" X 36 1/4" canvas. In this painting van Gogh painted a dark village with a giant Cypress tree placed along with a small spiral church which draws the viewer 's attention towards the sky that is depicted with stars and swirls upon the dark village. Van Gogh placed an emphasis on the Cypress tree by painting it large, long, and pointing towards the sky. He also did this with the spiral church as it 's spiral stands very straight and tall aiming towards the sky.

The first work that I am evaluating is "The Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh which was created in June 1889 and is currently located at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. “The Starry Night” was painted during the post-impressionist period, and is one of several that Van Gogh produced while staying at the asylum in Saint-Remy in southern France. According to Soomo Learning (2017) the piece is "a vision of dynamic spiritual movement from temporality to eternity" (Section 2.4.2 Art Gallery). The painting depicts an imagined view of the town of Saint-Remy, with a Dutch style church at the center and rolling hills in the background. It appears to be just before dawn with bright stars, Venus, and the moon set in a vivid blue swirling sky. Contrasting the bright stars and brilliant blue sky is a dark looming cypress tree that occupies the left side of the image and contains a flamelike appearance.

Vicent Van Gogh created beautiful paintings during his lifetime. Starry Night was painted by him in 1889. He was influenced to paint this art piece by his memory. Van Gogh painted Starry Night at Saint Paul de Mausole were he was being treated for his mental illness. While Van Gogh was in the hospital he was inspired to paint Starry Night by the depression that was caused by the hallucinations and thoughts of suicide he had. He started to incorporate dark colors in his paintings and Starry Night is an example of that shift. Starry Night was one of the most famous paintings of Van Gogh and it came entirely from his imagination. Vicent Van Gogh painted Café Terrace At Night in 1888. This painting was also one of the most famous paintings of

The painting I found most interesting is “Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh. The “Starry Night” is an oil painting on canvas. It was painted in June, 1889, a year before Vincent
