RE: Starry, Starry Night - My Entry For 13th ARTstyleART Contest
Excellent post! I love the idea of painting the feelings that come to you through music.
I was just at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam a week and a half ago. What an amazing experience!
Oh wow what a memorable experience, to see the paintings right in front of you. I hope to visit the museum someday too. Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting :)
Standing in front of his Sunflowers was such an inspiration and the self portraits were so amazing! I hope you do get to visit one day!
If I were there I would probably cry. His paintings have this intense vibes about them. Passionate and raw.
I actually did tear up a bit.
I agree with passionate and raw. It was like he feverishly was trying to get everything out of his head onto to the canvas...like it was some kind of release.
He was trying hard to be heard and accepted by the art scene but his style was vastly different from everyone else's. Constant rejections and unsold paintings, that had to do with his depression and mental deterioration. Sadly he was only appreciated after he was gone.
