Van Gogh

The four paintings articulated here are of course: Sunflowers, The sidewalk café at midnight, Crows in the cornfield, and Starry night. I wanted to dig into the feelings born of Van Gogh's masterful expressionism; the pain and depression of the mental illness that haunted him; the loneliness that is at the root of the artist's observance of the life around him; the moments of despair, of shattered dreams; and the hope of and promise of the eternal, the transformational quality of acceptance of one's place in nature. Hopefully I did his amazing work some justice. estory
