2. Sunflowers. Van Gogh used simple brushstrokes to express plant morphology, which was full of rhythm and vitality. The whole painting remains in the same yellow tone, only lighter and brighter. This painting is considered to be Van Gogh's last large-scale Sunflower in the Yellow House. In this work, you can no longer see the short strokes in the self-portrait. Here, his brushwork is solid and powerful, unrestrained and uninhibited, vividly depicting the gorgeous luster and full outline of sunflower. He boldly uses the strongest colors, because he clearly knows that years will make them dim, even too dim. Despite various protective measures, these colors will still lose their original luster. Sunflower broke the old rules, seamlessly combined strong contrast color with heavy color blocks, and created a new contrast color system, which had a far-reaching impact on the future artistic development. This painting is mainly yellow and orange, with delicate strokes of green and blue to outline petals and stems, and the signature and center of a flower are also blue. The dense spots on the lines have a striking effect, and the slender strokes try to show the fullness of the disk and the graceful feeling of the texture.
3. Open-air cafe at night. Van Gogh often patronizes cafes not far from his residence in the evening. The dazzling lights and stars in the cafe inspired his passion for painting. In this painting, he uses yellow and blue to express a unique feeling. The contrast between the coffee table and the blue starry sky in the painting, which is turned yellow by the lights, makes the whole painting look beautiful and full of a kind of peaceful poetry. Van Gogh once said, "To me, the night seems more energetic and colorful than the day. Painting at night, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky and the lights on the ground, is a beautiful and quiet work. " "Van Gogh's Lancashire Cafe, lent by 18 from May to September, is located in Place du Form, and is called the night cafe because it is open all night. He once spent two nights painting an indoor work in a cafe, and Cafe at Night was a contemporary work. He often thinks that night is more vibrant than day, so he runs outdoors several times to draw stars in the clouds. In the painting, the orange canopy illuminated by the gas lamp forms an isomorphic and reverse contrast with the dark blue starry sky, which seems to imply a complex mentality of hope and regret, fantasy and boldness. Van Gogh has gradually revealed his complex and uneasy, hesitant and nervous mental state in the picture. The exterior of a cafe has a balcony, which is illuminated by a big gas in the blue night sky, and there are stars shining in the corner of the blue sky.
4. Night cafe. Indoor Cafe at Night is one of the works of Van Gogh, a famous Dutch painter. He painted in arles, Provence in September 1888, and now he is in Kroehle Miller Museum in the Netherlands. The cafe described by Van Gogh in arles still stands in Lamartin Square. Van Gogh has lived here since he arrived in arles. Later, in the hope of establishing an artist colony, he moved into the yellow house and lived with Gauguin for two months. Van Gogh's works in arles are always beautiful scenery full of sunshine. In fact, many of his paintings are stimulated by night scenes. This painting with Van Gogh's signature in the lower right corner depicts the scene of an indoor cafe. The curtain in the middle of the picture is half open and half closed, and it is speculated that there are many independent small rooms behind the door. Five customers are sitting on the left and right along the wall. The waiter is standing in front of the audience under the light. There is a pool table in the middle of his room. The five customers in the picture are described as vagrants, prostitutes and clients who are drunk and sleepy. Some scholars say that cafes are places where the poor and prostitutes haunt at night, which is reflected in the far corner of the picture. The green ceiling, the red upper wall with lights, the yellow steam lights and the floor have a strong and vivid color contrast. The color of this work is dazzling, and Van Gogh deliberately used this color to express disturbing scenes. In order to emphasize the depth of the room, he chose a very high viewpoint, and the perspective line was very accurate. The yellow-green dotted halo renders the dazzling light emitted by the gas lamp, and its intensity is uncomfortable. This painting adopts a high viewpoint, and develops a radial set centered on the billiard table. Using the perspective principle in painting, the three colors of yellow, red and green complement each other and make the whole picture feel oppressive. In the deserted cafe, only a few people sit on both sides of the room, which shows the empty atmosphere in the cafe. The boss stood alone in the middle, looking very small in this big room. This ominous place is full of desolation and loneliness. This painting uses strong exciting colors and is the most powerful of Van Gogh's indoor paintings. Van Gogh, an alcoholic, knew every corner of the night very well. In a letter to Theo, he wrote down his intention to create this painting: this is what they call a midnight cafe ... If night travelers can't afford the accommodation, or if they are drunk and refused everywhere, they can stay here. I want to show in this painting that the coffee shop is a place where people degenerate, lose their minds or commit crimes. So I choose pink, blood red and distiller's grains, which are in sharp contrast with Louis XV green, azurite, olive green and dazzling turquoise ... to create a devil's sulfur furnace-like atmosphere to show the dark power in inferior hotels. ..... The cafe in this painting is a place where people may lose their reputation, lose their minds and even commit crimes. I tried my best to show it, and people sank into the whirlpool atmosphere of hell.
5, starry night. As the work of the expressive post-impressionist painter Van Gogh, this painting has a strong brushwork. Blue, the main color in oil painting, represents unhappy and gloomy mood. Thick strokes represent sadness. The scene in the picture is looking out of the window. The tree in the painting is a cypress tree, but it is painted as a black flame, which goes straight into the sky and makes people feel uneasy. The texture of the sky is like a spiral galaxy, accompanied by many stars, while the moon appears as a dim eclipse. In the whole painting, the village at the bottom is depicted with straight and short lines, showing a kind of tranquility; But it is in sharp contrast with the rough and curved lines in the upper part. In this highly exaggerated deformation and strong visual contrast, the artist's restless mood and psychedelic image world are reflected. This painting has two line styles, one is a long curved line and the other is a short broken line. The interactive use of the two makes the picture present a dazzling fantasy scene. This is obviously divorced from reality, purely for Van Gogh's own imagination. In composition, the turbulent sky contrasts with the calm village. Cypress is visually in balance with the horizontal mountains and sky. The color of the whole painting is blue-green, and the artist uses a sense of movement to express nebulae and trees, which flow continuously and rapidly like waves; In his works, nebulae and trees are like a burning fireball, working hard and expressive, leaving a deep impression on people.
