1, potato eater 1883
In this painting, a simple peasant family sits around a narrow dining table, and a lamp hanging on the table becomes the focus of the picture. The dim light shone on the gaunt faces of farmers, which made them stand out. The low roof makes the room more crowded. The picture composition is simple and the image is simple. The painter depicts the wrinkled face and bony body of the characters with rough and powerful brushstrokes. The background color is thin and light, which sets off the people in the foreground.
2. Night Cafe 1888
In Cafe Night, the whole painting is immersed in an artificial light by the vitality of brush strokes, the thickness of oil paint and obviously separated lines, which are all visual elements that Van Gogh wants to present.
The content of the night cafe is a subject that many painters have dealt with before, but most painters write the cafe as a happy place, but Van Gogh leads a group of unhappy people who have nowhere to go. The figure on the left side of the background even fell asleep at his desk, which is an unfortunate person. This is a tragic social scene, and the sad images scattered in the room are deeply sympathetic.
