  3. MEET THE ARTIST VincentVan Gogh Vincent van Gogh painted over 30 self-portraits between the years 1886 and 1889. His collection of self-portraits places him among the most prolific self-portraitists of all time. Van Gogh used portrait painting as a method of introspection, a method to make money and a method of developing his skills as an artist.

  19. Starry, starry night.Paint your palette blue and grey, The lyrics, "Paint your palette blue and gray" reflect the prominent colors of the painting, and are probably a reference to Vincent's habit of sucking on or biting his paintbrushes while he worked. Self Portrait in front of a Canvas, Oil on Canvas, Paris: early, 1888Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, Holland

  20. Look out on a summer's day,With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.Shadows on the hills,Sketch the trees and the daffodils,Catch the breeze and the winter chills,In colors on the snowy linen land. Expressing Van Gogh's inspiration for the painting. However, one line says :"Look out on a summer's day."which is a false statement as Van Gogh was in an asylum at Saint-Remy, and was not able to paint picture from an actual view point, it is strictly from his mind. The Church at Auvers-sur-Oise,June 1890, Oil on Canvas, 37.01 × 29.13 in., Musée d'Orsay

  21. Starry, starry night.Flaming flowers that brightly blaze, Swirling clouds in violet haze,Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,Weathered faces lined in pain,Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand. These are references to other Van Gogh paintings. “Flaming Flowers”: The Sunflower Series “Swirling Clouds”: Starry Night “Field of Amber Grain”: Wheat Field with Crows “Weathered Faces”: The Potato Eaters Starry Night Over the Rhone, painted in September 1888 at Arles, oil on canvas. 28.54 by 36.22 inches, Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France

  22. For they could not love you,But still your love was true.And when no hope was left in sightOn that starry, starry night,You took your life, as lovers often do.But I could have told you, Vincent,This world was never meant for oneAs beautiful as you. This is Van Gogh's tragic Death. Even though he loved painting, his paintings could never love him back.Van Gogh attempted suicide by shooting himself in the chest, which ultimately led to his death two days later. Olive Trees with the Alpilles in the Background, June 1889, oil on canvas, 28.74 × 36.22 in, Museum of Modern Art, New York

  23. Starry, starry night.Portraits hung in empty halls,Frameless head on nameless walls,With eyes that watch the world and can't forget. Van Gogh's artistic legacy is contained within his paintings, drawings and writings. They are everlasting and will never "forget" the style that created them. They are Van Gogh's eyes that watch the world. This is all metaphorically speaking though. White House at Night,June 1890, oil on canvas, 23.23 × 28.54 in,Hermitage Museum , St. Petersburg, Russia

  24. Like the strangers that you've met,The ragged men in ragged clothes,The silver thorn of bloody rose,Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. The "ragged men in ragged clothes" and "how you tried to set them free" refer to Van Gogh's humanitarian activities and love of the socially outcast as also reflected in his paintings and drawings. Irises , 1889, oil on canvas, Getty Center, Los Angeles, California, USA

  25. Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,How you suffered for your sanity,How you tried to set them free.They would not listen, they're not listening still.Perhaps they never will... "How you suffered for your sanity" refers to the schizophrenic disorder from which Van Gogh suffered. "They would not listen, they did not know how“ refers to Van Gogh's family and some associates who were critical of his kindness to "the wretched.” Finally we come to the conclusion of realizing Van Gogh's eternal struggle with insanity.

  30. STEP TWO: DESCRIPTION Subject:(what is the work about?) Landscape

  31. STEP TWO: DESCRIPTION Objects:(what is in the work?) In the foreground is a cyprus tree which looks like a flame to me. Behind that is the village of Saint Remy, France which is the view Vincent saw from his asylum window. The center part shows the village of Saint-Rémy under a swirling sky, in a view from the asylum towards north. The Alpilles far to the right fit to this view, but there is little rapport of the actual scene with the intermediary hills which seem to be derived from a different part of the surroundings, south of the asylum. The cypress tree to the left was added into the composition.[7] Of note is the fact van Gogh had already, during his time in Arles, repositioned Ursa Major from the north to the south in his painting Starry Night Over the Rhone.

  32. STEP TWO: DESCRIPTION Objects:(what is in the work?) In the middle ground are hills. The background is the focal point of the painting. The clouds of swirling patterns are quite striking and have been compared to a sketch of the Whirlpool Galaxy, drawn by Lord Rosse, 44 years before Van Gogh’s work.
