Night, very quiet. Through the wide window, I saw a beautiful moon on the sea like a small boat bay. Mercury-like moonlight flowed freely and soaked every inch of the earth's skin. I also gathered in this charming moonlight yard.
Under the vast starry sky, I am full of awe and look at the distant and deep sky. The bright moon and jewel-like stars embedded in the blue sky are shaking, rotating and twisting in front of my eyes. I saw the curled and rotating nebula, the exaggerated starlight, and the incredible orange moon ... Isn't that Van Gogh's Starry Night? I seem to see Van Gogh's melancholy eyes and the sadness buried in them.
Inspired by Whitman's poems, Van Gogh fell in love with the starry sky. In a letter to his younger brother Theo, he said: "After a day's work, you can eat a piece of bread and have enough strength to smoke and drink at night ... just like looking up at the starry sky and the boundless bright sky. Life is possessed. "
The hardships of life and physical illness revealed between the lines of Van Gogh are sad and heartbreaking. His personality is stubborn and unruly, and he is often ecstatic about the beautiful scenery in his life. He is a madman, but he often falls into painful depression. It seems that he never thought that his painting would become such a shining star in the sky.
A dark cloud floated by, covering all the brilliance of the starry sky. In the evening, I heard Van Gogh's Golden Sunflower crying in the dark. ...
Second,
In the National Gallery of Britain, there is a painting that people always stop to admire and refuse to leave for a long time. The flaming sunflowers in the painting seem to be burning life, and the exaggerated shapes and passionate colors of the sunflowers make people dizzy. Those flowers born in the sun, the stamens are fiery red, like a fiery fireball; The yellow petals are as bright as the sun.
It's Van Gogh's Sunflower. Millions of people come to see this painting every year.
1887165438+10 In October, Gauguin, who had just returned from Martinik Island, walked into the Xia Lei Building, where Van Gogh's paintings were on display. Gauguin keenly discovered the unique painting style in Van Gogh's Sunflower, which was full of Dutch style and impressionist style. He spoke highly of Van Gogh. Although the exhibition was a fiasco for Van Gogh, he was ecstatic to be recognized by Gauguin, who had long admired him.
1888 In February, 35-year-old Van Gogh came from Paris to arles, a small town in the south of France, looking for his sunshine, his wheat fields and his sunflowers. ...
Al's brilliant sunshine brought infinite creative passion to Van Gogh, who fell in love with sunflowers and dazzling sunshine everywhere. He is like a burning flame, full of fiery passion, which makes the brushwork full of movement and rotation give sunflower an impulse and tension of vigorous life. He used a lot of gold to render sunflowers. Sunflowers bloomed in the sun, as if they were "burning flames generated from the background".
Van Gogh rented a yellow house in arles with the support of his younger brother, who was an art dealer. He dreams of setting up a "Southern Studio" here. Van Gogh said: "I want to paint half a dozen Sunflowers to decorate my studio, so that pure chrome yellow can shine on various backgrounds and blue backgrounds, from the lightest blue in Willoni to the highest blue;" I want to match these paintings with the most exquisite frames painted orange, just like the stained glass in the Gothic church. " Let Al August's golden sunshine shine on the picture, and Van Gogh did it.
In those frustrated days, these golden sunflowers injected the last warmth into Van Gogh's gloomy heart.
Third,
1888, when Van Gogh was writing crazily in arles in the south of France, the bohemian Gauguin continued his exploration.
The strange environment in a foreign country, coupled with the language barrier, made Van Gogh, who was withdrawn, face terrible loneliness for a long time after his crazy creation. In a letter to his younger brother Theo, Van Gogh said, "The isolated life is too much for me." Worried about his brother's loneliness, Theo eagerly invited Gauguin to live with Van Gogh. Van Gogh also urgently hoped Gauguin could become his creative teacher and partner. Gauguin was in financial difficulties at that time, so he readily accepted the invitation of Theo.
In the days of waiting for Gauguin, Van Gogh was as full of expectation as a pupil waiting for his teacher. He eagerly looked forward to Gauguin's arrival with an almost pious heart. His Gauguin's Chair is a strong evidence. The color of the picture is Gao Geng's favorite green. It is a picture of the exquisite and noble chair that Van Gogh bought for Gauguin. There is a green cushion with gold stripes on the chair, which is soft and comfortable. On the mat is a thick book, symbolizing higher and more profound knowledge; There are lighted candles on the walls and books. Bright candlelight is the light of Gauguin's wisdom. Van Gogh expected to be illuminated by Gauguin's light.
In August, Van Gogh broke all the laws of contrasting colors and created a shocking Sunflower, which was very rough and crazy, just like a sculpture.
10, Gauguin finally came to Van Gogh's Yellow House. Van Gogh's Sunflower amazed Gauguin. Gauguin fell in love with this sunflower at once. He said, "This painting is the ultimate flower work."
Fourth,
In that yellow house, two people who love art create, discuss and get along well. However, the good times did not last long, and their personalities were completely different, which quickly aroused many contradictions between them. When the rainy season came, two people couldn't go out to sketch, so quarrels and agitation filled the small studio. Van Gogh never dreamed that their friendship would break up because of this party. Gauguin's cynicism and their serious differences in painting style, like a downpour in the studio, quickly put out the fire of their friendship and froze it.
After a fierce quarrel, a fierce fight broke out, and Van Gogh, who had a nervous breakdown, cut off his ear in a rage. Two days before Christmas, they had their last quarrel, and Gauguin finally chose to leave.
In the eyes of Van Gogh, who was extremely lonely and regarded friendship as his life, Gauguin was his only lifeline. Unexpectedly, their friendship ended like this How can such a blow make Van Gogh, who was fragile and simple when he was a child, stand it? Van Gogh, who was physically and mentally burned, lived in a nursing home.
Two months later, Van Gogh returned to his yellow house and saw a letter from Gauguin, in which Gauguin coldly asked Van Gogh to give him sunflowers. Van Gogh said frankly in his reply: "I really don't want to give you the painting after what happened." But your taste in choosing this painting is admirable, so I decided to draw you the same one and let this matter end amicably. "In order to save their feelings, the pure and kind Van Gogh painted two more pictures.
Van Gogh, who lived in a low place but had a high soul, did not throw away the brush that maintained life and spirit even though he was poor. Many times, he had to fight hard against the hard life, trying to lift his noble head from the rolling waves and breathe freely until he was submerged. What is his mental journey? He said: "life is a difficult voyage for me, but how do I know if the tide will rise, even if it drowns my lips or even rises higher?" But I will struggle, I will live a valuable life, I will strive to overcome and win life. "
After experiencing mental pain and melancholy, Van Gogh's burning painting life did not go out. Like a blooming sunflower welcoming the sun, it spread the golden flame all over the sky and fields, painted the starry sky at night, and rolled it into a vortex until crows flew around in the wheat field. Finally, it ended the golden madness with a gun.
In his letter to his younger brother Theo before his death, Van Gogh said, "If there is nothing infinite, profound and true in life, I will no longer be attached to this world." The alienation of family, the fall of love, the collapse of friendship ... the cold and dirty reality pushed this sensitive and enthusiastic artist to the abyss of despair.
When Van Gogh died, only his younger brother Theo was waiting for him. At the end of his life, he said the last sentence to Theo: "Sorrow has no end."
How helpless and desperate this angel, tortured by kindness and a genius who enjoys color, should be at this moment!
Five,
In French, sunflower means "the sun sets on the ground", which symbolizes light and hope. Standing upright, full of emotions, high morale, facing the direction of the sun, holding your head high, is the same appearance of sunflower.
Van Gogh is a gorgeous sunflower, looking up at the sun in despair, risking being burned by the sun and not dodging.
After Van Gogh died, people put sunflowers on his coffin. He is in Orville's cemetery, and sunflower flowers are often presented.
Van Gogh's tragic and brilliant life shocked countless people. His "Sunflower" set a world record of 10 million dollars at the art auction house in 1990. Who would have thought that at that time, his life was linked with the pain of poverty.
Sunflowers are to Van Gogh what Mona Lisa is to Leonardo da Vinci. The mystery of Mona Lisa lies in her smile, and the beauty of sunflower lies in that Van Gogh showed us the fullness and vitality of this symbolic plant.
Some people say that this is Van Gogh's Sunflower, because it is a portrayal of his inner passion and the exposure of his rich spiritual strength, just like without Cao Xueqin, there would be no Dream of Red Mansions, and without Van Gogh, there would definitely be no Van Gogh-style sunflower.
Some people say that talented artists can often set an epoch-making artistic peak in a certain field, which future generations can only worship and never reach, just like Van Gogh. This is the highest praise for Van Gogh's great works.
In the autumn wind, the sunflower with full grain hangs a heavy disk, wrapped in a few yellow leaves, waiting for harvest. Its short, gorgeous and rich life, just like Van Gogh's blooming life, is full of bad luck but brilliant.
