“The Starry Night” Vincent Willem van Gogh
Vincent Willem van Gogh is one of my favorite artists, and I believe Night> is the best artwork of him. “The Starry Night” is now locating in The Museum
of Modern Art in New York. I traveled to New York during spring break. I have been
privileged to see this amazing artwork in person. The Museum of Modern Art is
holding more than 150,000 individual pieces in addition to approximately 22,000
films and 4 million film pictures. The collection of Western art includes the painting
by many famous artists, such as Monst, Picasso, Matisse, and Van Gogh. “The Starry
Night” was created by van Gogh during the year in the asylum in 1889. “The Starry
Night” is a kind of Post-Impressionism oil paint artwork.
There is the night sky filled with swirling, clouds, stars ablaze with their own
luminescence, and a bright crescent moon. Although the features are exaggerated, this
is a scene we can relate to, and also one that most individuals feel comfortable and at
ease with. This sky keep the viewer’s eyes moving about the painting, following the
curves and creating a visual dot to dot with the stars. This movement keeps the
onlooker involved in the painting while the other factors take hold. “The Starry
Night” Oil paint is made up of two different lines, the first one is long bending line,
and another one is shore straight line, because of this two different line, the output of
this oil paint become very dazzling, beautiful and fantastic beauty. In the composition
level, the dynamic starry sky in sharp contrast to the peaceful village in the ground the
vertical cypress tree in the paint and the horizontal mountains comes to the visual
balance. The basic color of this oil paint is dark blue, van Gogh used dynamic and
continuous line to present the nebula and the cypress tree and it make the nebula and
the cypress tree looks like the burning hot fire in the starry night which is full of
visual impact and very impressive.
There is also another famous oil painting in Museum of Modern Art which is “The
Young Ladies of Avignon” from Picasso’s. Compare “The Starry Night” and “The
Young Ladies of Avignon”, they are from different painting style. “The Young Ladies
of Avignon” present the modernism painting and “The Starry Night” present
impressionism painting. For “The Young Ladies of Avignon”, it is the most famous
example of the way in which the use of geometric forms and planes in African masks
helped to inspire the rise of cubism and abstract art. Picasso plays with the tradition
that makes the female nude a symbol of natural purity. Also, Picasso’s distortion of
the women’s faces makes the painting a famous example of primitivism in modern art.
For “The Starry Night”, in my opinion, the basic color of this oil paint is blue, I can
see a feeling of melancholy runs through this “The Starry Night”, we can also
understand that van Gogh may also very unhappy when he created this oil paint, the
view of this oil paint is a view out of a window. The tree in “The Starry Night” is
cypress tree, but van Gogh made it looks like dark flame tongue all the way go
through to the starry sky, which make me have a tightly capture the felling of
uneasiness. The texture of the starry sky looks like Whirlpool Galaxy comes with
many little stars. Van Gogh used short straight lines in the bottom of this oil paint to
present a peaceful village surrounded by mountains. The dynamic and fantastic starry
sky and peaceful village contrast, the formation of a strong visual impact. We can
understand van Gogh was anxious and stressed when he was painting this “The Starry
Night”.
