#VanGogh is intense up close or far away. His sensitivity to texture & brushwork is best enjoyed inches from the surface whereas his rich color orchestrations can only be appreciated from several feet away from the canvas. Close or far his work delivers maximum power to viewers.
"#VanGoghsUntoldJourney"
By Stella:"Stunning insights into the life of one of the worlds most famous painters. I LOVED this book! Dr.Havlicek explores the spirit and soul of Van Gogh in a humanistic and relatable way. His research brought Van Gogh alive for me, and inspired me."
From the early peasant paintings to his late portraits #VanGogh transformed the seemingly banal into the profound the easily overlooked into the memorable. He reminds us to look sympathetically at the details of our daily life and to love others-- especially the most humble.
French 19th century painters produced some of the finest floral paintings in the history of art. Manet and Fantin Latour for instance created stunning works that still have the power to grab our attention-- even in our hyper digital world.
#VanGogh was able to transform a common country road into a dramatic experience . . . trees were transformed into actors in a mystery play and dirt lanes became lines of poetry. Vincent invested daily-life with awe and elevated simple sight into exalted vision.
The contrast between the somber early-paintings of #VanGogh and the brilliance of his late-work is obvious; however his plunging perspective, grasp of clouds and atmosphere was constant. Van Gogh could evoke the mood of a specific locale and bring viewers into the experience.
The theme of labor was a central one for #VanGogh having been reared in a rural community inhabited by field hands, farmers and craftsmen. The humble worker was a central theme of the Gospel where the idea of the earth's cultivation as a sacred action is frequently celebrated.
