Van Gogh. Scenery

The album introduces the reader to the landscape painting of Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890). The painter associated the ethical significance of art with the expression in the visual images of admiration, pain and suffering. This also concerned the landscape genre - after all, Van Gogh did not think of nature regardless of man, the world of his feelings. The nature of the Northern Holland had a deep influence on the formation of the Van of the Gogh-Layman. In the palette of its early paintings, dark colors prevail, conveying the harsh character of the landscape, dimly lit by the low sun. The artist’s Parisian landscapes are most of the episode canvases, where there is light, air, and the unsuccessful reflections in the river, and the play of sunlight. In the jubilant landscapes of the Arlski period, the identity of the creative gift of Van Gogh was most clearly manifested. The canvases written in Arle amaze with the festive mood of flowering and the triumph of life. The dramatic landscapes of Van Gogh belong to the period of Saint-Rremi and the Over. Their stable motifs are twisted trees, spilling crowns, almost covering the sky, rising by hillocks brown earth, cypresses - symbols of death and olive - metaphors of life.
