Van Gogh is good at using color contrasting, and the distortion of the shape and line to show the world from his eyes. His paintings give those who appreciate the beauty of art not only enjoyment but also exclamation. These paintings grant people a precious opportunity to see another way of beauty, or think about the opposite side of behind beauty. One of his famous painting called the “Starry Night” will be presented in my article.
The Starry Night was painted in June in 1889, and it vividly portrays night skies spreads of stars.
Also in the painting we can observe that dark blue sky is clearly outlined by thick lines. On the left side of his painting, the robust plant seems to echo the darkness of the sky. The bright moon embedded in the night sky sprays her holy lights on the top of those mountains. The tremendous cypress looks like a burning fire, and the nebula seems to be a tornado in the sky, which symbolize the struggling in his real life. From a panoramic perspective, Van Gogh applies light yellow and dark blue as the main tone of his painting. This legendary painting greets me with the feeling of tranquility staying away from boisterous urban life. The painting really give me a peace in the deep of my heart.
His art works were unacceptable in that time; however, his art works influenced the western’s art circles in 20th century. Fauvism and abstract expression are inspired from Van Gogh’s paintings. In the process of his creative painting, the freedom of expressing inner feelings, the relative independence value, and extraction of oriental paintings, inspired the formation of their different painting genres.
