hi this is Anita from five minutes with
0:11
art today I want to talk a little bit
0:14
about van Go Star Night
0:17
painting yeah this is again one of the
0:19
most popular paintings in the world and
0:22
there's many people who will go just to
0:25
view this painting and just to see van
0:27
Go's star Night painting van Go's star
0:31
Night painting is located in the Museum
0:34
of Modern Art in New York City and a lot
0:37
of people have said well how much is a
0:39
painting worth there really is no price
0:42
tag on it but many people have said it's
0:44
probably worth way over a hundred
0:46
million what many people maybe don't
0:48
realize that when van go died he had not
0:52
sold really any paintings in fact when
0:54
he died he was just finally starting to
0:56
see some success in his life he gave all
1:00
of his paintings with brother Theo who
1:01
had been his supporter and been by his
1:03
side shortly after van go died his
1:06
brother Theo died so it was actually his
1:10
sister-in-law it was Joanna van go who
1:12
really ured Vincent Van Go's
1:16
Legacy and she also understood very much
1:19
the value of many of these paintings as
1:22
The Starry Night painting The Starry
1:25
Night is actually painted on
1:27
canvas and it's one of the paintings
1:29
that were where Van go used he used oil
1:32
paints but when you look at the painting
1:34
up close you can see the oil paints he
1:36
use are quite heavy he would use you
1:38
know oil paints brushes and of course a
1:41
pallet knife too but he had very
1:43
interesting brush Strokes in how he
1:45
painted the paintings and how we you
1:47
know would lay the paintings on to be
1:49
quite heavy with the paint
1:53
itself even though many scientists and
1:55
others have studied the star Night
1:58
painting and they you know said you know
2:00
here's the different stars that van go
2:02
was looking at if you look at some of
2:04
the letters which van go wrote and this
2:07
is a letter that he wrote to the artist
2:12
said I'm not saying that one may not
2:15
take the risk after a whole manly life
2:18
of searching of fighting hand toand with
2:21
reality but as far as I'm concerned I
2:24
don't want to Rack my brains over that
2:26
sort of thing and the whole year have
2:28
fiddled around from life hardly thinking
2:30
of impressionism or this or that however
2:34
once again I'm allowing myself to do
2:36
stars too big a new setback and I have
2:39
enough of that so he kind of understood
2:42
that you know in a painting like the
2:44
starry night he was purposely making the
2:47
Stars too big he was you know playing
2:49
with the moon he was playing with all of
2:52
these other types of um the nighttime
2:55
reality as he saw it himself and he
2:58
realized that he was not trying to do a
3:00
painting that was anyway trying to be
3:02
like impressionism art but instead he
3:05
was doing his own type of art form that
3:08
he was allowing himself to do the stars
3:11
too big to do the Moon too big to change
3:13
the colors to to change his scene to
3:16
change what he saw outside of his window
3:19
he really painted this painting from
3:21
memory that he painted this when he was
3:23
in the the the mental institution there
3:25
and he would look outside of his window
3:28
at night and then during the daytime he
3:30
would paint it from his memory so he
3:32
painted more of his emotion and his
3:34
feelings and I think that's one of the
3:36
reasons because those feelings come out
3:38
with the night sky that makes this such
3:41
a powerful painting this painting that
3:43
so many people love so much and and I
3:45
have to say also to that I love it I
3:47
love the colors he used the blues and
3:49
the yellows and and you know he you know
3:51
van go wasn't afraid to use colors like
3:53
that he was able to use them so well and
3:57
the way he even you know painted the
3:59
painting was the thick brush strokes and
4:02
and you know there's Dimension to the
4:04
painting when you look at it up close
4:06
that is one of the things that makes
4:08
this and continues to make this Starry
4:10
Night painting such a wonderful and
4:13
Powerful painting it is why it continues
4:16
to be listed as one of the top 10
4:19
paintings in the world and one of the
4:21
most valuable paintings in the world
