Vincent Van Gogh Field Of Poppies

159 Words1 Pages
I live inside my head. It's as if Vincent van Gogh's 'Field of Poppies' symbolizes a good day for me. From its hues of remembrance to the idea of their being good on the other side of life and like nothing its beauty becomes everlasting strokes of sheer darkness. Up close, the once Van Gogh painting has turned into a Baroque portrait mastered by Caravaggio. Some would think the portrait is being depicted through rambles of obscurity and fear, however, it's shadows and realistic observations will teach anyone, including myself, how to see the burst of colors clouded by listlessness. My emotions are like both paintings - both masters of work shouldn't be overlapping one another, yet the very thought of it manages to make my mental state feel

The sun beams from the sky are lighting up a small area of the painting and the rest is dark and gloomy. The gloominess of the painting represents dark and depressing times while the brightness of the sky creeps through thick dark clouds. This represents heaven because heaven is so large and bright and amazing that even though life is hard and seems like the world is ending, there is always something greater out there. Personally, I love this painting. I really like how Dore paints that trees and valley dark because it really highlights the beams from the sun.

Hello Cimberleigh, Thank you for sharing your post! I appreciated reading your hypotheses about what you saw in the paintings. It was interesting to review other responses and see how different people view and draw various conclusions from the same images. For example, in the first image you saw isolation whereas I saw someone being methodical, not necessarily thinking about anything in particular, but contemplating. From my perspective, the person may have been thinking about positive and negative things, but without additional information I didn’t feel comfortable drawing conclusions.

I see a peaceful, slightly uncomfortable, but enjoyable sail in beautiful clear water. Dorothy Allison implies that everyone sees something different in a painting and that “if we were to reveal what we see in each painting, sculpture, installation, or little book, we would run the risk of exposing our secret selves” (595). My “secret self” is one that lived on a boat in the crystal clear water of the Caribbean and sailed on the open ocean and stared at the waves when there was no one else around. Because of that I see this painting as a peaceful experience instead of one in rough sickening

In the 18th century, another one of the greatest artist of all time, Vincent Van Gogh illustrated a very personal painting. The Starry Night is now one of the most widely known paintings in the world, but the story and meaning is not. Both artist used dark and grim themes when it came to their creations, and that is what draws the public to them. In today 's society we are able to relate to the deeper and more mentally touching symbols of these pieces of art.

Pollock’s Lavender Mist contradicts the notion that artwork needs to be logical and organized. In the past, conventional academics had expectations for art to follow a set of rules that were the “established authority” on the art of the time, but Lavender Mist directly contradicts what was the status quo. By creating a masterpiece that has no representation or recognizable figures defies the conventional “norms.” There is no single clear defined story that the painting tells but rather it represents something intangible; Lavender Mist is the product of Pollock’s mindset and emotions. Pollock’s canvas serves as “an arena in which to act- rather than as a space to reproduce, re-design, analyze or ‘express’ an object, actual or imagined” (Rosenberg, 1).
