Starry Night Over the Rhone

The most well-known Post-Impressionist painter, Vincent van Gogh, paints most of his paintings when he is in an asylum. As absurd as it seems, van Gogh paints his most known painting, Starry Night, in a mental hospital (Harmon). From the fact that he lives in a mental hospital, people deduce that van Gogh does not have the happiest life. He is often depressed and does not know how to express himself. However, he finds freedom in painting. He paints many different subjects during his life time…

An artwork that was influenced by Japonism “Bridge in the rain: after Hiroshige” by Van Gogh is an oil on canvas painting that was created in 1887 in Paris, France. This painting was strongly inspired by the original woodblock print by the Japanese artist, Utagawa Hiroshige, in 1857. By comparing the two works, we can see that the colours Van Gogh are more intense which creates a contrast with the colours of the original print. To recreate the falling rain seen on the print, Van Gogh used a…

His art style and subjects were based off of some styles from the time periods subject matter and governments that were developing. He had a handful of popular art, but only after he had passed away. A few selections would be Starry Night, The Potato Eaters, and Crows over a Wheatfield. During van Gogh’s time period, many things were happening. He was born in the Netherlands in 1853, a time of modernization for the Dutch people. As well, his time period was part…

commit suicide (although this might be because I’m obsessed with his artwork and his tragic backstory ever since the Doctor Who episode). So whether it’s hanging in a museum, on a corkboard, or being used as an advertisement for beer, a piece of art can be used for any purpose, even ones made by “the masters.” Now mystification definitely plays a part in this because although there’s no doubt that Van Gogh was a great painter, are his paintings really worth $82 million? Or should I…

Vincent van Gogh was a post-impressionist painter who is considered to be one of the greatest Dutch painters to ever live. One thing van Gogh is known for is the emotion in his work. I chose to write this paper about van Gogh due to this. In Starry Night, van Gogh communicates his feelings of coldness and darkness in his life. Van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853, in Groot-Zundert, Netherlands. He was the child of Theodorus van Gogh and Anna Cornelia Carbentus. Theodorus was an austere country…

Night and Day Hong is largely seen as a master of the essay art films. The film, Night and Day, follows an artist, Kim Seong-nam’s journey in Paris after escaping the Korean government and leaving his wife behind. The film references three common themes of Hong’s style; an artist as a protagonist, an aspect of rebellion, and travel as an excursion. In the film, the artist’s escape from Paris as a result of using Marijuana represents deviance. The film uses romance as a style to further augment…

I chose to write about Vincent Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci. I chose Van Gogh because I think that his art although it does have a dark meaning behind it is truly beautiful. My favorite painting done by Van Gogh is his painting titled The Starry Night. I am not a huge art fan but since I can remember this is one piece that I thought was done so incredibly well. The way he expressed the way he felt about death in this was amazing he took something so dark and scary to some people and made it…

encompasses the beauty of the Thames River during night time, hence the use of the word "nocturne" in the naming of this piece. However, it is worth mentioning that this specific work can almost appear monochromatic due to the incorporation of multiple shades of blue used to illustrate the sky and river. The usage of the primary color blue evokes a feeling of tranquility…
