Art Critique

 

Description- While looking at the Painting you see different colors and different shades of the same color. It does follow the title ”Starry Night”, you see the moon, the night, some stars, maybe some houses at the bottom of the picture, then some kind of statue of tree on the left of the picture. It looks like when he was painting me made the sky have a swirl with the blues, or maybe he’s trying to emphasize the wind blowing during the of the painting.  This is a Vincent Von Gogh painting, ‘Starry Night’, it was made in 1889, The medium is an oil on canvas. This is a beautiful painting all in all.

Analysis- You look at this painting and you see that the way the strokes go the move towards the right. The emphasize on the wind was a good touch and the was that the whole paining is he did a perfect job in putting that there with the way the whole artwork flows. The shape of the stars is repetitive, but the size of the stars re different, some are small the some are bigger than others. You can also tell they are stars because when you look at the moon in the top right corner  you can tell the smaller circles are the ones being played as the stars. It looks like a two dimensional painting you only see one face to all of the objects in the picture.

Interpretation- This artwork looks like he was up late at night looking out his window. The message could be that he doesn’t sleep well at night an does painting to keep him calm and try to ease his way to sleep. I’m just going to take a guess that sleeping hasn’t been the best for him and that he’s a visual painter, meaning he needs to see something in order to paint it. Then he puts his own emphasizing to add more to what he was seeing, like the wind that I talked about in the description. I think his interpretation of things he thinks, he’s good at putting it into his art.

Judgement- All in all I really liked the painting. The artwork looks more lean or slanted, like it looks like the wind took over the whole direction of the work. It looks really calming and relaxing, like as if he wrote it when he was in a good mood or in a calm phase of the day. I don’t know the idea of the work, but it looks peaceful, it doesn’t show that he was in a bad place of anything, more like he was in a good place. This is one of my favorites by Vincent.
