1, Dr. Gaxie
In June 1890, that is, one month before committing suicide, Dr. Vincent Willem van Gogh of Gachet painted this portrait for Dr. Gachet who took good care of him. He himself said, "I hope to draw a portrait of an artist friend, who is full of great ideals." I hope to paint my feelings and admiration for this person into my works. I exaggerated the blond of his hair. I didn't draw the ordinary walls of the front cabin, but I used the extremely rich and strong blue mixed by me to draw an infinite and far-reaching background. Because of this simple cooperation, the blond head shines on this rich blue background, like a star embedded in the deep blue sky. "When he painted this portrait, he wrote a sentence: People may stare at them for a long time, and even recall it with longing after 100 years. This is a sentence he wrote a hundred years ago, and he is right. 1May 990, exactly one hundred years later.
2. Cafe at night
The cafe at night is a nightmare composed of dark green ceilings, red walls and uncoordinated green furniture. The golden floor presents a vertical perspective and enters the red background with incredible power. Conversely, the red background is also quite competitive with its strength. This painting is an irreconcilable struggle between the perspective of space and the aggressive color trying to destroy it. The result is a terrible experience of claustrophobia and oppression. The work indicates surrealism's exploration of perspective as a means of fantasy expression, but no exploration can have such shocking power.
3. A starry night
Starry Night is a landscape painting both near and far, which can be seen from the high-viewpoint landscape techniques of Bruegel, a landscape painter in the16th century, although Van Gogh's more direct source is some impressionist landscape paintings. Tall poplars trembled and floated slowly in front of us; Small villages in the valley live safely under the protection of the steeple church; All the stars and planets in the universe are spinning and exploding in the "doomsday judgment". This is not the final judgment of man, but the final judgment of the solar system. This painting was painted by/kloc-0 in June, 1989 in St. Remy's sanatorium.
4. Fifteen sunflowers
These sunflowers are simply inserted in vases, showing a breathtaking magnificence. Van Gogh used repainted strokes, like sculpture, to take a piece of clay from the relief. The colors and techniques of yellow and earth tones show a beautiful world full of hope and sunshine.
5. "Self-portrait without beard"
This self-portrait without a beard is the last self-portrait of Van Gogh, painted on 1889, when his mother was 70 years old. Although the relationship between mother and son was tense because of some contradictions in the early years, we didn't often contact each other, but on her birthday, in order to reassure her about her health, Van Gogh decided to send her a self-portrait. Van Gogh painted himself healthier, younger and neater than in reality, but these can't hide his despair and loneliness. Finally, Van Gogh gave his mother a photo of Al's bedroom and hung it on his wall. This painting was completed in Saint-Remy Provence1September, 889. On the canvas is an oil painting with the size of 40cm x 3 1cm. This painting was sold in new york 1998 for 7150,000 dollars, making it the most expensive self-portrait in history.
Second, Van Gogh profile:
Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853- 1890), also known as "Van Gogh" in Chinese, is a Dutch post-impressionist painter. Born in a Protestant family, he was a pioneer of post-impressionism, which had a far-reaching influence on the art of the 20th century, especially the fauvism and expressionism.
Van Gogh only created in dark colors in his early days, until he met Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism in Paris, which combined their bright colors and painting styles and created his unique personal painting style. Most of his most famous works were created in the last two years of his life, during which Van Gogh was deeply mentally ill, which eventually led to his suicide at the age of 37. After his death, Van Gogh's works, such as Starry Night, Sunflower and Raven's Rye, became the most famous and precious works of art in the world. Van Gogh's works are currently collected in Orsay Art Museum in France and Kunshos Art Museum in Zurich.
Third, the character evaluation:
When discussing Van Gogh, Henry Fosilon said, "He was the most passionate and lyrical painter of his time. ..... For him, everything is expressive, urgent and attractive. All forms and faces have an amazing poetry. " "He feels that there is a mysterious sublimation in the life of nature, and he hopes to capture this sublimation. All this means a passionate and sweet mystery to him, and he hopes that his art can convey his enthusiasm for devouring everything to mankind. " (On Van Gogh, edited by Orff Salov, Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House, 1987, p. 95).
He is just an ordinary person, even more difficult than you and me. When his spirit was close to collapse, he even cut off his ear with a razor, just to stop his growing madness. What a sad man he is. He created an immortal legend, but also made his tragic life. Similarly, artists are mostly short-lived ghosts. The great artist only lived for 37 years. Perhaps this is the sorrow of becoming a genius! (Feng Zikai's Biography of Van Gogh)
