I chose
this picture because of the brightness of the night sky and how the night
sky compliments the cafe terrace on a warm night. The colors in this
painting are lively and the texture of this painting makes me have a feeling
of calmness. The shapes are plain and simple and not interrupted by too
many busy people like in the painting by Beraud. Some lines are strait,
and the others curve giving lots of variety to the painting. There is positive
space and negative space through out the painting. The negative space is
in the starry night sky and the positive space is on the ground. The dark
colors in the sky make your eyes focus on the bright yellow cafe terrace.
This painting is very expressionistic in the style as are many of Vincent
van Gogh's work. |
