Van Gogh Print

Starry Night
This famous work
was painted while van Gogh was a patient at the asylum at Saint-Remy,
near Arles. Van Gogh had a reasonable amount of freedom at the asylum
and was encouraged to paint. He worked passionately while he was there,
producing a great many canvases. This painting is remarkable for its
intense, swirling energy and seems a forceful expression of van Gogh's
own inner turmoil, as if it had erupted onto the canvas in a great
burst of spontanteous creativity. To some degree this is true; van
Gogh's letters contain descriptions of a scene of a starry night which
was obsessing him and he writes of working well into the night.
Although this
painting may well have been done in a fervor of energy and inspiration,
it was based on careful study and planning, on method and rational
thought. It is a tribute to the genius of van Gogh that he has transcended
the planned canvas to create a painting that explodes with spontaneous
passion.
