Watch the following video. It is a group of Vincent van Gogh's paintings set to Don Mclean's "Starry, starry night" song. Van Gogh was a Dutch artist who lived in France for the most productive years of his life. He was born in 1853 and died in 1890 - only 37 years old. Van Gogh began to draw as a child, and he continued to draw throughout the years that led up to his decision to become an artist. He did not begin painting until his late twenties, completing many of his best-known works during the last two years of his life. In just over a decade, he produced more than 2,100 artworks, consisting of 860 oil paintings and more than 1,300 watercolors, drawings, sketches and prints. His work included self portraits, landscapes, still lifes, portraits and paintings of cypresses, wheat fields and sunflowers.
Grab a comfy chair and enjoy.

All his works seem to stay around the same point on the color wheel and include at least one compliment to the majority. And the song kind of creeps me out...
ReplyDeleteEach of his drawing seem to have a similar look to them. My favorite painting of his is Starry Night. All of his drawings are super cool though.

A lot of his paintings used the same texture which looked like lines and brush strokes. I thought is was neat.
ReplyDeleteHe painted a lot of sunset landscapes that looked pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI always loved Van Gogh. I love his use of colors in his works.
ReplyDeleteHis brush strokes are amazing and impossible to duplicate. I learned this from attempting one of his paintings. Also, the colors he uses are very well placed in the paintings and go well together.

Van Gogh did a lot better job at painting this man than I did. It is very detailed and interesting.
