Van Gogh's pictorial life

author:Mo Wuqi

During the epidemic period, there is just time to turn over some good films that I don't want to chew when I am busy, and calm down to taste it. A monologue-style documentary will allow you to read the life of the Post-Impressionist painter Van Gogh. The wider the picture, the more cramped the heart. The brighter the color, the lonelier the heart. People often say that painting is the reaction of the heart, but in Van Gogh this is the opposite, and the things in the heart that can be thought but not obtained are filled from the painting. But in the end, it cannot withstand the contradiction and strong conflict between reality and ideals, and a genius falls like this. A lifetime of gray and dark can only relieve hope from the painting, and when the small square frame cannot accommodate his vastness, he goes to another world to find relief.

From sunflowers to starry skies to those self-portraits of Van Gogh, the paintings we are familiar with are all works of Van Gogh's later period. In his early years, he also tried to support himself, but fate was to push him towards another greatness, and this greatness must be built up with countless unambitious ambitions. His early paintings were dark and gray-tone, but life wasn't that bad at this time. His works are inversely curved with his life, and as he becomes more and more embarrassed, his paintings become more and more vivid, and the brilliance emitted is more dazzling. Whenever I look at the starry sky, in addition to admiring the color, composition and creative mood, I see two completely different emotions, hope and loneliness. It was a picture in Van Gogh's mind, a brilliant world embracing endless hope, but this hope was endlessly distant, when it would reach the other shore. This painting van Gogh was created during a spiritual sanatorium, looking out of the cage window into the distance, it is precisely a distant and lonely hope. Van Gogh's madness is inevitable, reality and spirit are strongly unequal, and the body is like a container that cannot be put down, sooner or later it will burst. Fortunately, the way he burst out allowed a number of artistic treasures to be passed on to the world.

Throughout his life, Van Gogh simply wanted to integrate strong emotions that could not be expressed in reality into his paintings and convey them in an indirect way. Affection, love, friendship, he felt he had never gotten anything like that. But in fact, his loneliness is self-inflicted, he has never tried to understand others, always hope to let others understand himself. Sensitive and stubborn in heart, but never compromised. Even if you are poor, you can indulge in your own spiritual world, which has to be said to be a kind of concentration. His loneliness is also due to his character, and his loneliness has created a sea of art for him, which flows continuously. The power of art lies in giving the objective material master emotions, and the paints and canvases have a soul under the creation of man. It speaks to the mood and mental state of creation, and it takes you into another world of whimsy. Van Gogh's feelings were too rich, and the emotions were scattered on each painting without expressing them and eventually going to extremes. And we can just capture that little bit of emotion from his paintings and we can ripple for a long time. He may not know that a hundred years later, thousands of people understand his loneliness and expectations from his paintings.

From a point to a face, from a painting to a person. The minutiae allow us to piece together a complete world, where the realm of art is vast and abstract and difficult to capture. But every painting and every story can enrich every second, minute, and hour of life. Taste is cultivated subtly.
