Van Gogh Cafe introduces the connection between Van Gogh's paintings and the Cafe

Van Gogh (1853-1890) was born in the Netherlands on March 30, 1853. In his short life of 37 years, Van Gogh devoted his life to painting, leaving more than 1200 paintings and 1200 sketches, which were constantly praised and cherished by later generations.

Van Gogh's grandfather and father both worked as priests. At the age of 19, Van Gogh already worked in a branch of the Guber Gallery in the Hague, but his temperament changed a few years later. He was fired from the gallery in Paris in 1876 and began his days full of thorns and poverty. After failing to sell paintings, teach, work as a bookstore clerk, and preach, Van Gogh, then 27, decided to become a painter in the summer of 1880. Van Gogh's love is always crazy and passionate, clumsy and stubborn, so often hurt by love, almost to the skin, throughout his life, no family and no heirs.

Van Gogh painted indoor and outdoor paintings in a cafe next to the rally square (Place du Forum). The interior was painted by Van Gogh for four consecutive nights in the cafe, showing an atmosphere of despair in red and green. Soon after, Van Gogh boldly went to outdoor painting and contrasted the yellow light with the dark blue night sky. Van Gogh's artificial lighting outdoor sketch was created by Van Gogh in September 1888. The painting, "Cafe under the Stars" and Palce De Forum, the location of "Cafe under the Stars" (Cafe Terrace at Night), became famous for the painting and changed its name to Cafe Van Gogh.

Van Gogh's night cafe has interior and exterior scenes.

I wonder which one you want?

When Van Gogh was in South Fayar ((Arles)), when he had no money for coffee, his boss asked him to come in and play billiards. The cafe é la nuit is located on the Place du Forum, where Van Gogh spends a considerable amount of time indoors and outdoors taking pictures. Van Gogh spent a lot of time indoors and outdoors.

● Van Gogh's famous Dutch oil painting "Night Cafe"

Van Gogh was overworked and tired, so he often visited the cafe in La Martin Square not far from his house at night to refresh himself with wine or coffee. The color of the lights and the red and yellow of the interior furnishings were as bright as the sun during the day, which inspired his passion for creation. He once said: "I try to use red and green as a means to express the terrible passion of mankind." The painting is a nightmare of green ceilings, blood-red walls and discordant green furniture. The golden floor shows a longitudinal and far-reaching perspective, entering the red background with irresistible force, and in turn, the red wall background competes with it with equal strength. And the deep blue of the ceiling is suffocating. He told Theo that "I painted the Night Cafe to show the idea that the so-called cafe is a place for people to sink, go crazy and commit crimes." This painting is an irreconcilable struggle between perspective space and the intimidating colors that attempt to destroy it. The result is a terrible experience of claustrophobia, terror and oppression, with shocking power.

Van Gogh's Cafe under the Stars (September 1888)

Van Gogh preferred the different blue of the southern sky, and he painted the brilliant starry sky day and night, as he wrote to his friends, "I am fascinated by the depiction of the night scene, the effect of the night, and the night itself." This week, I didn't do anything but draw, eat and sleep. Draw for twelve hours, sixteen hours at a time, and then sleep for twelve hours in a row. The starry sky of the Cafe under the Stars is full of blue and purple, but there is no need for black, which shows his preference for blue. Is it because he is afraid of loneliness that he does not have to be completely black? Or is it because even at night, he can feel the call of enthusiasm and vitality? Guess that when Van Gogh painted this painting, his heart was full of enthusiasm for painting, and his mood was excited and happy!

"Blue always reminds people of melancholy. But blue is open and free, passionate and unrestrained.

The sky is blue, the sea is blue; the sky is vast and free, and the sea is also vast and free.

Moreover, the blue in Van Gogh's writing is so unrestrained and clever that it is not comparable to the clouds; the enthusiasm of the blue is so intense that even the bright red is overshadowed.

And, the golden floor shows a longitudinal and far-reaching perspective, with irresistible force into the red background? Why? Why don't we all find the answer?
