The composition of The Crow in the Rye consists of three forks, which opens a vast wheat field. There is almost no central point of view in the painting, and the scattered crows make the picture wider. Van Gogh used three primary colors and green to present a simple and concise image, with his unique golden color that people are familiar with, but full of anxiety and gloom. The dark blue sky with dark clouds is pressing the golden wheat field, which makes people breathless and the air seems to be solidified. The crow in the painting is just a flying line composed of thick black lines, and the low pressure on a large area of orange wheat field increases the sense of oppression, resistance and uneasiness.
The picture is extremely turbulent, and the green path goes deep into the distance in the yellow wheat field, which adds anxiety and excitement. The picture is covered with dense short and hard strokes, which do not symbolize anything, but a sense of trembling. Vincent Willem van Gogh tried to express the so-called "sadness and extreme loneliness", so this painting was regarded as a preview of Vincent Willem van Gogh's suicide.
2. Starry night
Through this painting, Van Gogh did not want to use the vast universe to reflect the smallness of human beings and make people feel scared, but wanted to convey a spirit of not bowing to fate. The rotating nebula in the sky seems to be spinning and dancing, like a blooming flower. The flexible branches are weak, but they are fearlessly pulled to the sky. And the huge cypress tree soaring into the sky is like a black flame, spreading its branches and leaves unyieldingly. Convey the author's inner anguish and melancholy. It also shows the struggle and struggle of mankind.
3. Wheat fields on cypress trees
There is no sharp color contrast in this painting, instead, it is a distorted figure composed of curves. The cypress swaying in the wind in the oil painting is like a restless soul, flying between heaven and earth. It is a cry from the depths of the soul, a yearning for life, and a helplessness and indignation against reality. The theme it expresses is life and strength, full of uncontrollable excitement and enthusiasm. He often expresses this passion with flying lines and strong colors.
In this painting, cypress trees along the road are like black flames, and these curly lines are intertwined and rush to the sky. Next to the cypress tree is a golden and dazzling wheat field, which is the color of the sun and a symbol of life. With a short, fast and rotating line, the sky and the road are depicted as a turbulent river that never stops rolling forward. These colors and strokes express the tension and impulse in Van Gogh's heart. Even a rational person can hardly keep calm in front of this picture.
4. Al outdoor cafe at night
This painting takes a new perspective on the stars in the sky: the halo around the stars has just disappeared, and the bright yellow walls attract the viewer's attention. The silhouette of the dark urban landscape on the right side of the painting (in contrast to the bright yellow wall) reaches a balance.
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.
5. Sunflowers
This work consists only of gorgeous yellow. The petals are full of tension, the lines are bold and bold, and the solid and powerful brushwork forms different colors and momentum on the bright and splendid background, which makes the sunflower express people's hearts.
In this work, we can no longer see the short and pithy strokes in the self-portrait. Van Gogh's brushwork is solid and powerful, vividly depicting the gorgeous luster and full outline of sunflower. He boldly uses the strongest colors because he clearly knows: "Time will make them dim, even too dim." ?
