Vincent Van Gogh

Starry Night

This painting by Vincent Van Gogh is very famous for its unique technique in using pastels to create a “starry Night.” Most artists sign their names on the bottom right corner of the artwork, but this artist is particularly different.  Van Gogh signed his name by using his fingerprint as a signature on the top right bright yellow star. I find this painting very interesting because of its twirls and use of dark colors. It is believed by most critics that Van Gogh would express his life in his paintings which is why they are mostly odd and very isolated.
