Make an essay about the authors; the paintings and the movement they belong (who was he? why is he famous? why is the painting so important for the movement) on starry night by vincent van gogh

answer: the curving, swirling lines of hills, mountains, and sky, the brilliantly contrasting blues and yellows, the large, flame-like cypress trees, and the thickly layered brushstrokes of vincent van gogh’s the starry night are engrained in the minds of many as an expression of the artist’s turbulent state-of-mind. van gogh’s canvas is indeed an exceptional work of art, not only in terms of its quality but also within the artist’s oeuvre, since in comparison to favored subjects like irises, sunflowers, or wheat fields, night landscapes are rare. nevertheless, it is surprising that the starry night has become so well known. van gogh mentioned it briefly in his letters as a simple “study of night” or ”night effect.”

his   brother theo, manager of a parisian art gallery and a gifted connoisseur of contemporary art, was unimpressed, telling vincent, “i clearly sense what preoccupies you in the new canvases like the village in the moonlight… but i feel that the search for style takes away the real sentiment of things” (813, 22 october 1889). although theo van gogh felt that the painting ultimately pushed style too far at the expense of true emotive substance, the work has become iconic of individualized expression in modern landscape painting.
