What's good about Van Gogh's paintings?

Van Gogh is famous for expressing fanatical feelings with brilliant colors and unrestrained brushwork. But he is different from impressionism. Impressionism captures the beauty of the appearance of objects. Van Gogh loved the essence of objects, just like the lover of objects. He tried to penetrate into the object and occupy it all. Impressionism loves light, and Van Gogh loves not light, but the shining sun.

But in the self-report of his painting "Night Coffee Shop", he opposes musicians who only do color. He pursues to express his unique inner feelings with the unique effect of color, and to express the dark scene of the degenerate night coffee shop with white-hot bright colors.

Formal beauty and artistic conception beauty are naturally, freely and highly combined in Van Gogh's works, such as portraits, landscapes and still lives. There are thousands of painters in Qian Qian from ancient times to modern times. When their hearts have dried up, their hands continue to paint, and ruthless and boring pictures are overwhelming, but almost every Van Gogh's work reveals the author's heartbeat.

Van Gogh loved farmers, rural life and rural scenery very much. He likes everything about farmers, especially sunflowers, wheat fields, warblers and pea flowers.

He often chooses these simple images as his painting themes. In his short artistic career, Van Gogh, with his keen artistic perception, described these simple and natural landscapes, still lives and figures with deep affection and detail, so he was called "the purest painter among painters".

Compared with those gorgeous paintings, Van Gogh's paintings are simpler and more meaningful. He devoted infinite passion to these simple flowers and field life, which made his paintings have an artistic magic that could not be surpassed and imitated.

Van Gogh once painted many pictures about sunflowers. Although the number of sunflowers painted each time is different and the posture of the flowers is different, they all show a kind of fullness and vitality.
