Art Critique on Starry Night

This painting in named “Starry Night “by Vincent Van Gogh. It is an oil on canvas painting. It was painted in June 1889. At the bottom of the painting there seems to be houses, towards the middle there are some stars, in the top right corner there is a moon, and to left of the painting it looks like a castle or tower.

 The artist does use the colors blue and yellow.

Vincent Van Gogh uses the repetition of blues and yellows. In this painting he uses curved lines as well as straight lines. The color of the background makes the star pop out more. The artist uses a lot of dark tones to capture the viewers’ attention. 

The artist is trying to express to us that he was feeling a lot of depression and fear while he was painting this. This was painted to symbolize his view from the asylum where he was at right before the sunset as well as a little village.

My favorite part of the Starry Night is how he blended the colors blue, white, and yellow giving an attractive look. The artist communicates to us by the colors, rhythm, and the view. I really like this painting. This is something that has always stood out to me.
