Coffee Culture displayed in Van Gogh's paintings

"It's the effect of light and clear colors, especially trees full of flowers. Curiously, it was a particularly cold February of that year, with snowflakes flying, and Van Gogh was greatly cheered by the snowflakes and white flowers on the branches--and by the flat fields and windbreaks along the banks of the banks of the Rhone, which resembled Holland. Most of the flowers are apricot, but there are cherry, peach and plum blossoms as well. You know, I feel like I'm in Japan.'"

This is my favorite description of Van Gogh's arrival in Arles. In a quiet and beautiful atmosphere, people could not have predicted that a small southern French town full of rose plants in the middle of winter would grow killer sunflowers in the scorching sun in the middle of summer.

Arin Van Gogh is famous all over the world. One of Arin's most famous attractions is the prototype of Van Gogh's famous work Cafe at Night, an old cafe that still retains its bright yellow awning and a large number of open-air cafes. Van Gogh had been so attached to the different shades of blue in the southern sky at night that he ran up the street again and again at night, depicting the yellow streets of Alming against the starry blue.

Café at Night is no stranger, it is the most famous image in cafe photography and one of the most copied and quoted images in the world. Many cafes hang copies on the walls as decorations, and many books and albums related to food culture have cited this painting. Van Gogh only wanted to express the depth and vitality of night, and the conflict between bright yellow, which symbolizes life and the sun, and cobalt blue, which symbolizes mystery and unknown.

Van Gogh has another painting, Cafe at Night-Interior. Van Gogh uses red, green and yellow heavily in this painting-"I wanted to try to show the cafe as a place where people destroy themselves, go crazy or commit crimes," van Gogh explains. The cafe under the stars is just an entrance to madness.

Van Gogh, still a trainee painter in his thirties before settling in Arles, painted another coffee-related work, The Potato Eater. This painting is regarded as one of Van Gogh's early masterpieces. The picture shows a farmer's family of five drinking coffee in a cramped room. Van Gogh, who painted this painting, had not yet been exposed to impressionism and used dark and repressive colors. Van Gogh was also accused of not even mastering basic human proportion skills. But the painting looks so strong and reassuring. The farmer in the painting has a simple face and strong bones. Beside the small cup of coffee that is as white as plaster, there are large plates of potato cubes. In this painting, coffee serves as the daily diet of the working people of the lower classes, without any pompous or modern coldness.

Finally Van Gogh went to Al and let his coffee burn and spin with the stars and the earth.
