Van Gogh's photography

Van Gogh, a "familiar and unfamiliar" name, has been adapted into countless works. Recently, the release of a special film "Beloved Van Gogh" reminded people of this great artist.

The special feature of Beloved Van Gogh is that this 95-minute animated feature film took seven years to make. The whole film consists of more than 60,000 oil paintings created by 100 artists from all over the world.

The director is a painter and filmmaker. When she put forward the idea, others thought it was impossible. There are 12 frames per second, and each frame is a beautiful "Van Gogh" painting. Such a huge project is unimaginable, but she feels that only in this way can she be worthy of respect for Van Gogh.

Van Gogh's life was simple and lonely. He was born in Holland on 1853. He has been a serious, silent and kind child since he was a child. Before becoming a "professional" painter, he also worked as a handyman, an art dealer and a priest, and had three short and failed love experiences. He has a younger brother, Theo, who is the only best friend and spiritual pillar in his life. /kloc-One day in 0/890, in a wheat field, after a gunshot, Van Gogh ended his life for 37 years.

Van Gogh created more than 2,000 paintings in his short life, among which Starry Sky, Sunflower and his self-portrait series have long been "familiar" and have been quoted in various works and designs.

Van Gogh painted many sunflowers, the most famous of which is Fifteen Sunflowers. These sunflowers were given to Gauguin, a painter who had a friendship with him. At that time, Van Gogh wanted to form an organization similar to the "painting society" and invited many painters. However, only Gauguin accepted the invitation to paint and live with Van Gogh, and the two attracted and appreciated each other. However, this state only lasted for more than a month, and then differences of opinion eventually led to Gauguin.

Since then, his mental condition has become more and more serious, and finally he has been admitted to a mental hospital. During this period, he created more powerful works. Judging from these works, Van Gogh has always been sober, and Starry Night is his masterpiece at this low point in his life.

I don't know how to appreciate works of art correctly. I just appreciate Van Gogh's paintings from the perspective of "layman", and I get a direct feeling: inexplicable comfort. I try to pay attention to those works that can bring "comfort", whether it is photography, painting, film and television works, or even website design, I will find that one of the sources of "comfort" is the "gentleness" of color matching.

However, Van Gogh boldly used the true colors of pigments. The abrupt and dazzling colors of red, big yellow, blue and purple are perfectly integrated in his paintings. He was not controlled by "paint", but "vented" what he "saw" on the canvas. Maybe he saw through himself and the world, so he could create so freely.

Van Gogh's paintings before his death were not understood and his life was full of loneliness. Loneliness has never been seen by society. However, loneliness is a common topic that we are born to be human. It doesn't matter whether you have company or not, it doesn't matter where you are. Loneliness is not loneliness or boredom, but a "date" between you and yourself.

Many people say that "genius is never understood by most people", but it is very likely that "most people" have never understood it themselves, let alone others.

Van Gogh wrote in a letter to his brother Theo:

When I draw a sun, I want people to feel that it is spinning at an amazing speed and giving off terrible light and heat waves.

When I draw a wheat field, I want people to feel that wheat is moving towards the final maturity and flowering.

When I draw an apple tree, I hope people can feel that the juice in the apple is smearing the skin of the apple and the seeds in the core are trying to bear fruit.

When I paint a person, I paint his turbulent life.

If there is nothing infinite, profound and real in my life, I will no longer be attached to this world. ...

It is not money and material that make us, but our spiritual world that tells others what we are.
