Vincent Van Gogh Brief Biography
Vincent Willem van Gogh listen (help·info) (March 30, 1853 – July 29, 1890) was a Dutch painter, classified as a Post-impressionist, and is generally considered one of the greatest painters in the history of European art. His work shows the objects, people and places in his life with bold, usually distorted, draughtsmanship and visible dotted or dashed brushmarks, which are intensely yet subtly coloured. Wikipedia Resource on Van Gogh
About the painting, 'The Starry Night' (1889)
Painted at the Saint Remy Asylum in June 1889, 'The Starry Night' was not Van Gogh's first depiction of a night sky. In Arles, he had been proud of his painting of the stars and the reflection of the lights of the town in the River Rhône. He wanted to paint a starry night as an example of working from the imagination, which could add to the value of a painting: 'we may succeed in creating a more exciting and comforting nature than we can discern with a single glimpse of reality', he wrote.
'The Starry Night' was an attempt by Van Gogh to create a masterpiece on a par with the very stylised work of Gauguin and Bernard. The graphic style adopted by Van Gogh was not an obvious choice to achieve a nocturnal effect in which surfaces and silhouettes would normally play a greater role than lines. 'The Starry Night was', he later wrote, 'exaggerations in terms of composition with lines warped as in old woodcuts'.
Van Gogh may have had doubts about the painting, but subsequent commentators have elevated 'The Starry Night' to a place among his most exceptional and important works. (J. van der Wolk, "Vincent Van Gogh: Paintings and Drawings", Rizzoli, 1990) |

ABOUT
YOUR SHOP KEEPER: KARENE
HOWIE
My partner (philosopher Geoff Haselhurst) and I are building a large
philosophy website which is the source (and inspiration) for most of
the Philosophy images and quotes in this shop.
Below are some of our favourite philosophers / quotes and links to relevant
pages of our website. Philosophy (which is ultimately about Wisdom from
Truth and Reality) is important to our world (all proceeds from this
shop are used to promote our work on Philosophy).
Thus we also hope that you find our philosophy website interesting!
Cheers, Karene. (December, 2009)
