Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist artist.
His paintings and drawings include some of the world's
best known, most popular and most expensive pieces.
Van Gogh spent his early adult life working for a firm of art dealers.
This artwork is a fine example of emotionalism. This painting has
such fine brush strokes. Even though this picture is called Starry Night
the first thing I see is the tree in the middle of the painting. I think it is
very good placement to put the church with the skyscraper in the middle
of the painting. The line and texture pop out to me when I look at this
because the line twists togather forming a good texture. I think this
supposed to repusent the night sky turning into the day sky.
