The Ear... a little History on Vincent
Most People look at a Van Gogh piece and say, "That man was demented,
it's just a bunch of crazy marks!" But that genious, Van Gogh, combined
these "crazy marks" in such a way as to create beautiful scenery, in the
style of Impressionism. It took me many years to finally figure out why
I loved this piece so much. The obvious reason is the color usage the opposites
of deep violet blues and light orange yellows and are repeated in several
of Van Goghs works, like "Cafe Terrace at Night".
Another reason I enjoy this work
was found when I discovered the cloud movement. After having a poster
of this work in my bedroom for months and months I saw the clouds reach
out and "grab me". It was like one of those tricky pictures that u have
to look through and you see a 3D scene, only this was just the clouds coming
out of the painting. and saying "hello". Talk about your 3D! Vincent had
it figured out in the late 1800s. However, everyone views a piece of art
differently.
