Untold Van Goghさんのイラストまとめ

There is a monumentality in late-#VanGogh very similar to Cezanne. The mountains in Provence provided the two painters with powerful natural forms to engage.
The similarities in these works would make for a fascinating dual exhibition; something that has never been done before.

#VanGogh's love of the laborer was a constant theme in his work. He identified with those who worked with their hands and cultivated the earth. As an artist he felt his calling was to cultivate culture and to create works of art that made a cultural contribution to humanity.

#VanGogh was a great fan of other artists and made personalized versions of their art transforming them into what he called "translations" of their work. The 'Drinkers' was taken from a Daumier lithograph while the 'Peasant's at Rest' was colorized after an etching by Millet.

#VincentVanGogh had a viewing frame fabricated by a blacksmith which he placed alongside his canvases or drawings to determine perspective vanishing points. One can see how the drawing of the field in Arles here was composed using the wire sight-lines taken from this visual aid.

#VanGoghs #StarryNight contains yellow stars that are stylized flowers. The "star/flower" concept (and title of the painting) was inspired by a key passage in the novel #LeMiserables where flowers inhale the perfumes of night just as we absorb the radiant beauty of the stars.

#VanGogh and #Cezanne were contemporary nineteenth century painters who lived in rural areas. Both artists worked in Provence with Vincent in Arles and Paul in Aix. They found the humble habits of the inhabitants noble and portrayed them with great admiration and deep affection.

Rembrandt created high-drama with a raging sea and terrified disciples. #VanGogh did it with a flaming cypress tree crowned by heavenly hosts and a sapphire sky. Both of these Dutch masters evoked a sacred reality ever-present in the universe and made tangible in their paintings.

#VanGogh's influence can be seen in Munch and many other artists. The final decade of the 19th century was a hotbed of stylistic and conceptual views in art. Van Gogh played a primary role as an innovator and conservator of primary ideas within this milieu.

#VanGogh began his artistic training by drawing farmers and field workers in his community of Nuenen, Netherlands. He admired their hardworking honesty and as an artist emulated their rigorous habits. In a decade Vincent had achieved artistic mastery -- a remarkable achievement.

#VanGogh & #Cezanne exploited the power of orange in their paintings often juxtaposing it against blue it's complementary color. The PostImpressionists found solidity and full-colored compositions central to their artistic aims and succeeded in heightening our visual perception.
