1 Van Gogh's popularity and the degree of research of later generations are estimated to be needless to introduce. This is a Van Gogh print that can be made one-to-one. The original work is preserved at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, USA. This is a work of the year before Van Gogh's suicide, and the painter who is tormented by mental pain always has an extraordinary imagination stimulation. In my mind, Van Gogh was a prophetic being. Because this kind of starry sky map is completely achievable in the eyes of modern photography technology, many photography enthusiasts have had the same experience as me: wearing thick hiking suits to hide on the top of the empty, setting up a camera tripod, shivering in the cold wind. After one night, the trajectory of the stars can be presented on the photographic film, and it is possible to shoot such a brilliant night sky. But Van Gogh was a man who lived in the 19th century, and photography at that time was a novelty. Van Gogh's lines are arranged in a stroke by stroke, compact and methodically showing the kinetic potential energy from left to right. The blue tranquility that accounts for more than two-thirds of the entire picture is illuminated by the lemon-yellow starlight, the moon in the night sky is as strong as the sun, and the surrounding clouds are like the turbulent whirlpools in the sea, which are very visually striking. The beech (or possibly pine) in the close-up is dark brown and curls up to the sky like a flame, like Van Gogh's own lonely soul. Van Gogh's starry sky is not so much an exaggerated visualization of natural phenomena as it is the product of his fanatical fantasies and will. 2021/11/1 S.WANG
