In this essay I will discuss the ways that Vincent Van Gogh’s, The Night Cafe, 1888 was used as influence for Ernest Ludwig Kirchner’s, Street, Dresden, 1908. To prove my point I will provide visual analyzations of the pieces, some background to the artists and the art movements they were associated with, and events that happened around the time the paintings were created that affected many artists and the work they created. Vincent Van Gogh’s painting, Night Cafe, depicts a scene a cafe with four empty tables as well as three with people seated at them. There is a green pool table at the center of the room that casts a large orange shadow onto the yellow floor. There is a man with neon green hair in a yellow suit standing to the right of…
The hunger artist is the miserable protagonist of the story. He is dressed in black tights which emphasize his prominent emaciation. Everything about his demeanor dramatically cries of desperation and tragedy. He isolates himself in a cage, where he would rather sit on the straw-lined floor than on a chair. The hunger artist’s character relies on his sole identity being a professional faster.…

To feel alone, completely, and utterly alone, can be a crushing sensation. It can destroy a person from the inside out, and drive them completely mad. And if you couple that with being confined, you have a formula that can only conclude in disaster. In The Painted Door, through Ann, we see that when one feels neglected, trapped, and alone, it can drive a person to do things outside of their normal behavior. And if one gives into cravings, consequences that may not have been imagined could be brought to fruition.…
I can relate this theory because Van Gogh feel afraid to live alone, and asked to be admitted to Saint Remy as a psychiatric patient. He feel safe to be there because some people tried to poison him when he was alone. Then day pass by, he feel secure and stared to feel safe and he left Saint Remy. Van Gogh also feel stable whenever he write letters to his brother Theo about his feelings. This theory been archive by Van Gogh…
The painting is of his view of the city from the asylum. When viewing it, you see a tree like figure taking up a majority of the left side, the city in the distance which seems to be dark and cold, and the moon and stars illuminated in yellow and yellowish-white, surrounded by a light and dark blue, swirling night sky. The blue in the painting give me the feeling of coldness and being alone. This is relevant to his life while he was painting this. The emphasis on the moon and stars makes me feel like there was limited “light” in his dark world.…
Fairfield, Iw – Jim Carrey, actor, comedian, and impressionist, gave a commencement speech to the graduating class of Maharish University of Management to inspire then about the life after they graduate and what is in store for them, in the future. “I am here to plant a seed that will inspire you to move forward in life with enthusiastic hearts and a clear sense of wholeness.” Carrey continues, “The question is, will that seed have a chance to take root, or will I be sued by Monsanto and forced to use their seed, which may not be totally 'Ayurvedic.'” His passionate words may have been “planted” in the graduates minds since their response was cheerful laughter.…
In Edouard Manet's painting Bar at the Folies-Bergere, T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," and Susan Glaspell's Trifles, the women's physical and metaphorical distance emphasizes male fear of the feminine world that the male figures cannot understand. Manet focuses on the woman at the bar, who looks detached and unhappy, in contrast with the women in the reflection who enjoy the ambiance of the bar. The man in the mirror seems to approach the barmaid anxiously and without acknowledging her distant stare. His anxiety may stem from a fear of meaningless intimacy. Perhaps he cannot easily form a natural relationship with people, in contrast with those in the reflection.…

“Starry Night” is a poem by Anne Sexton that was written to show her own analysis of the painting by Vincent van Gogh which holds the same name. While the painting is a beautiful work in itself, Sexton’s poem provides details that accentuates the painting.

Sexton’s poem is filled with imagery, figurative language, and diction that brings more life and understanding to the painting. Anne Sexton created a mental picture for the reader by providing descriptive words that appeal to the senses.…
In 1888, on the second story of the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum, in a cold, dark room, sat a young tortured artist (Pachko, 2015). He had just been admitted into the asylum for taking a razor and cutting off his left ear. His life was filled with self-harm, self-doubt, God, and art (Bio, 2000). His art helped him stay mentally stable, for a short amount of time (Bio, 2000). On July 27, 1890 he went out to paint the morning sky and could no longer cope with the “voices in his head” (Bio, 2000).…

She explains the impact a stranger can leave behind, based on her own experience, how she experience welcome as she approached the stranger, and wished they could meet again. She felt “cheated, puzzled and also amused” (136) when the stranger never shows up as promised. Which kept her wondering that most of time the people we think are not what they turn out to be.…
He takes a typical view of one entering a bar and almost tilts it on an axis by placing the viewer in the corner of the room. The tables lining the walls filled with what appears to be drunk customers and their tables littered with drinks adds to the depressing feel he originally intended with his color selection. Van Gogh places what appears to be a representation of himself besides the pool table all alone with nothing but the bottle. This appears to be a nod to Van Gogh’s self awareness of alcoholism. He balances this focal point with the open doorway located to the left implying an emptiness as well as forcing the viewer to wonder what lies…
