Art Appreciation BSN 1-A

Starry Night by Vincent Willem van Gogh:

Vincent Willem van Gogh a famous dutch Impressionist artist that was
very unknown to the world, and it was not until after his death that he
received the recognition his art deserved. Vincent Van Gogh is an artist
that influenced the world in many ways this is why I especially favor his
most famous piece the starry night. In this particular piece not only am
I fond of the hauntingly beautiful aesthetic it possess but also to the
story that comes with it.The story of Vincent Van Gogh’s tragic life filled
with mental evils and artistic triumphs, still lingers within the harsh
strokes of paint that is present in the painting. I also admire Vincent
Van Gogh’s contribution through example where even though he was a
troubled artistic genius due to him struggling with poverty and has
experienced mental illness, he still persevered and even used his
passion in art to cope and survive his problems. Also through his art
containing immense emotional intensity he was still able connect and
inspire millions of art lovers still to this day.If I would be an artist one
day I would want to be an artist like Vincent van Gogh. Where I would
paint and draw my honest and raw feelings, inspire and comfort people
through my art like how I felt when I first landed my gaze on Vincent’s
piece, and I want people to feel something any kind of emotion to my art
and hopefully send them the message I want them to receive through
my art like a silent connection between me and my audience.
