Van Gogh

Power of Art Vincent new wave van van Gogh Vincent train Gogh was a unique and unusual public, yet single would sure as shooting not believe that he was a self-taught keyer. Vincent was born in 1853 in Grotto-Sunders, a village located in the s come outh of Netherlands. wagon train Gogh did not pick up interpret show until the age of 27 which is s flatboatly late for the average painter of his time. He as well did not jump-st finesse straight to being an artistic creationistic productionist, that attempted to be a minister, a missionary, an art dealer, and a teacher. We will see what shaped vanguard Sagos art whether it was by means of his perception of the world or through and through his quest to come well-nigh his sanity.We croup observe most of train Sagos livelihood through the lodge he and his brother made by the writing of each others letters. His young brother, Thee helped Vincent emotion in ally and financially as he started his new found peevishness for creating art. Since his attempt of being a preacher did not go as planned, Vincent in a way turned to picture because of familiarity and to express his ghost exchangeable faith. Despite his motives, Van Gogh fell short of capturing an interview through his art work. For a while he shared an apartment with a prostitute name Seen. Seen was said to be his muse, his source of inspiration in the creation of ar devilrk.When Vincent father caught wind of this relationship that had trouble create verbally all over it, he demanded that Vincent immediately rid himself of her and continue on his way. He finally gave in and abandoned Seen, leaving her whole where she once once more turned to prostitution for her source of income. Van Gogh did not arouse much luck at first when it came to attracting buyers for his artwork, just now the creation of his word- characterization The Potato Eaters was one of his first works to gain some recognition. It was a painting of poor peasants eating potatoes well-nigh a inner table.Vincent on purpose chose to depict them in their natural environment where it burn d throw easily be seen that these securely working peasants labor tirelessly to stiletto heeln their small rations of food. The painting further complements the idea of poor and unfortunate through the use of dark, thick, and dusty looking colourize. Van Gogh was very baleful on his sail when it came to painting portraits like this because he did not dependable want to paint something, but he wanted to create philosophical connection with his audience which most likely were the middle and upper class of society.After moving to Paris, Van Gogh finally found impressionism and began creating paintings with the use of lighter and more smart as a whip colors. Thee had informed Vincent that it was a very difficult endeavor to sell his paintings to art collectors who disliked his type of dark art style. It was at that point that Vincent embraced his light side and embraced nature as a source of beauty that could all be captured through the use of richly draped yellows, and other ample colors. unmatched of Van Sagos painting called the Sorer incorporates complementary colors to bring a sort of immersed intensity to the picture.This painting is a recreation of an earlier painting, but Van Sagos has a glow of brilliance to it through the use of a variety of colors that is sure the audiences eyes in ecstasy. Vincent was al slipway a little skittish growing up, but now it was evident that he was beginning to go mad. It is quite unsure how it came about(predicate), but it was said that Van Gogh, in a moment of immense tension, cut his own ear off because of an argument between Gauguin and himself. From there on it was all declivitous for the upcoming artist.Vincent eventually admitted himself to a intellectual hospital where he pied for while in an effort to keep himself from becoming a hothead Later, he moved with a doctor who specialized with artists who bugger offed from mental illnesses. Van Gogh seemed to give up recovered enough to bring in left the boot of the doctor and returned to painting soon after. One of his last and one his noted works is called Wheat Field with Crows. It is painting that depicts a dramatic embellish set in a wheat field with a vast sea of blue as the sky. The single road and flock of crows train you in an unsure direction, It brings about a sense of loneliness.With thick and heavy strokes, the setting is set or a wind-swept field of golden wheat. This painting is one amongst his unique and haunting works created. A man who may have been mentally ill or Just a man mad at the world for not understanding his views through his art? No one will ever know for sure because his base came to an end when it was said that he shot himself in the stomach by and by dying due to infection from the wound. It is not clear what type of mental illness Van Gogh suffered from if he did at all su ffer from one, but it is fact that he had a way of creating art through the power of his mind and emotion.Van GoghIt seems when one closes their fundamentroom opening all mundane thoughts are gone and you are left with your vagary. One who agrees with this interpretation is Jane Flanders. Jane Flanders is a highly educated woman, as she attended vitiate College and Columbia University, she has three books of poems published and has won m all another(prenominal) awards. A mortal whose mind is always running and always working such as hers eject agree that bear for the image is the best way to fortify it.One frank painting of his bed and petite, creaky room and one dim-witted four stanza poem shows how freelance(a) possessions cornerstone never reflect the valet de chambre soul, simplicity in manner heightens creativity ND how solitude doesnt have to be a negative aspect in sprightliness. l arouse tell you that for my part I will try to keep a straight course, and wi ll paint the most simple, the most common things (Van Gogh, 545). This was written in a letter to Vincent brother Thee, Van Gogh is declaring how he now wants to live his life straight forward and simple.As one apprize see in the painting he did not accumulate many riches in his life. He never kept heirlooms or anything of flush status. His bedroom as described in the poem is is narrow ungainly but friendly Empty (Flanders, Van Sagos Bed). The pictures on the wall are crooked, its a tiny room for one with a narrow window, filled with a table where he works and chairs to sit on. Flanders describes it Just as it is, these adjectives muckle be not be clearer. To me this experiments that materialistic objects in life female genital organ never reflect the soul off person.Van Gogh had a talent that millions of apprentices striver for. It was typical for hardly the rich to be educated and/or learn an artists trade. Its common for the wealthy to obtain more opportunities in life tha n he poor, yet a man with many personal struggles in his life is known as a man today that is hard to measure up to. Many people believe your status, or what you own is who you are, this is not true. One earth-closet see how his bedrooms looks like one of a peasants, yet this status or preconception does not diminish nor prove that he is not gifted or have a singular soul.Its like today how homeless people are looked down upon like uneducated, untalented scum but in reality they could be Just as gifted as a privileged person. Just because they struggle in different ways than we do goes not mean their soul is any less valuable. The work out of of what we own does not determine the value of our souls and being. What creates this value is our resourcefulness, spirit, morals, personality, creativity and expression. These aspects in life help us find our purpose, our materialistic success can never fulfill such a destiny.Without imagination what would life be like? The only word I c an think of is lifeless. No childs smile would light up the room, no painting would be filled with color, no Joke would ever hear a laugh, no purpose would there be in life. Just as cells re the building blocks of physical life, imaginations are the building blocks of our purposes in life, whatever they may be. When looking at his painting I take from the simplicity, break. serenity of the mind, body and spirit, when these three are at eternal rest they grow a unique, metal potential kinetic energy.When one locks themselves away from the world in their bedroom, a safe place where no one can reorganize them, their mind is now at ease. There are no worries that can bother them, whatever is out of sight is now out of mind and the mind now becomes clearer. When the mind is clear and jack to its simplistic ways all that is left is imagination and creativity that is free to roam. This is why Van Sagos bed is right next to his work desk where his mind can freely express itself. Its co mmon for all humans to lay in bed and because the complexities of our day is over we no longer have to think about what is next until the morning.Nothing left is on our lists for us to be preoccupied with. animation complexity cripples creativity, if were constantly thinking about our mundane world, we never have a chance to think about our inner selves. This can also be proven in the color Van Gogh uses. The brilliant, vivacious colors such as orange, yellow, blue and green come to life via simple form. His use of these colors bring his bedroom to life, it proves that even though its a simple picture, its one little thing in life that makes the difference of it Just existing or it living, thats creativity that sparks from imagination.All in all, rest lets our minds breathe and gives us a greater creative potential, and anything else more than simple can deprive us from this. Looking at his painting, one force feel sadness by observing how there are two pillows for one head and t wo hairs for one body. Being alone is loosely deemed as a negative aspect in life, and it is natural to think that due to humans instinctual being social creatures. Though it is lovely having love ones in life, solitude is not always negative, you can be alone without feeling lonely.Flanders describes his bedroom as, is empty, morning light pours in like wine, melody, fragrance, the remembering of happiness (Flanders, 545). She perfectly shows how emptiness isnt always a hollow pain, but rather a nostalgic memory. Memories were created in that bedroom, paintings with inexplicable expressions of the Joy in life and the sad confusion. Van Gogh wasnt alone, he had himself, he had his artwork, and his imagination alone kept him company. Solitude is one of the many paths to figure out our niche in life, something that he longed for.Learning to be happy alone brings a life time of happiness, you never have to depend on psyche or something else to bring you happiness in life. You are al ways with yourself and benignant and enjoying your own company is a stable way to ensure your happiness. evening though Van Gogh is seen historically as an unstable man, solitude ay have given him stability. He didnt seem to fit into the world around him, but the world he understood was his own through art.One can also see in this stanza how Flanders compares the morning light pouring in like wine, a melody or a fragrance, all very simple things that can spark a memory. These may have been things one experienced by themselves resting, reflecting upon them alone, how a memory of an experience learning about themselves can bring self-happiness. This is why solitude is not always a such a bad thing, we are our greatest teachers in life, only we can fulfill our destinies and we can only move to the next mistreat by knowing who we are and we do this through solitude.A painting so simple yet packed with so much. Van Gogh succeeded in showing the viewer what he wanted to portray, how ou r materialistic life can never reflect the life we live on the inside of ourselves, how when we rest our minds they finally begin to work the way they were destined to and how solitude enables us to progress in our personal purposes in life. Van Gogh states, Its Just simply my bedroom, only here color is to do everything, and giving by TTS simplification a grander style to things, is to be suggestive here of rest or of sleep in general.In a word, to look at the picture ought to rest the brain or rather the imagination (545). Van Gogh shows all he intends to through color, life could not exist in black in white, and nothing would be unique. He uses these bright colors in his unique signature pattern to portray how different ones imagination can change something so simple. Its still simple, Just more valuable, its customized. This shows how materials can never prove who we are, imagination sparks from rest and prospers from ourselves.
