VINCIENT VAN GOGH - DUTCH “OLEANDERS” 1888
Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch, post-impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential person in the history of Western art. Post impressionist abandoned the style of the impressionist and part ways to discover his own personal art. Although they didn’t follow the same path as the impressionist because of the limited aim but they applied everything they have learned from them in their painting. In addition to incorporating all the techniques they have learned, post impressionist took their art to the another level by adding more affection, more feeling, more articulation in their art work. Through the help of the color they were able to send a message to the viewer what they felt about the universe in which they live. Representative and highly personal meanings were particularly of great significance or value to Post-Impressionists such as Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh. |
