Now, he is most known for the emotion, beauty, and color that he put into his work that extremely influenced 20th century art. While many know that Van Gogh was a tad bit on the crazy side, not many people have taken the time to understand why he was like this. Like almost everyone, his childhood had a major role in how he developed as a person. Then, in his late teens and…

I believe there are similarities between the two pieces as well as some differences that makes each piece stand out.

I chose these two pieces, because I can see why and how each of the two artist created their piece and it’s very interesting how…

Vincent Van Gogh’s older brother was also named Vincent Van Gogh but passed away at birth”. Vincent Van…

Vincent Van Gogh67 is known by most people for his cubism work. Not many people know about his earliest works. They also do not know about all of his portraits and how they change though out his lifetime. Because of that reason is why I chose to write about the evolution of Van Gogh’s self-portraits. Van Gogh painted at least 30 self-portraits from 1886 through 1889, an amazing number of likenesses to complete in such a short time span. They represent his most active years as a master artist,…

The Starry Night is considered to be one of the most famous works of art of all time and is the perfect idealization of Post-Impressionist Art.

peers talk with passion about the way a piece of art has changed their life or enhanced it, and I think to myself ‘how?’ and ‘why don’t I feel that way?’ It frustrates me that I can’t understand my own lack of understanding. I have walked through museums of art and been numb to feeling, attracted to only things my mind could comprehend or pieces that used bright colors. I was originally attracted to The Starry Night because I remembered painting it when I was young and it gave me a happy feeling…
