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 Starry Night painting man goes 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 $ 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 ensured 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 star Night painting The Starry Night
1:25
is actually painted on
1:27
canvas and it's one of the paintings
1:29
that were van go used he used oil paints
1:32
but when you look at the painting up
1:34
close you can see the oil paints he use
1:36
are quite heavy he would use you know
1:38
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 trying
3:00
to do a painting that was any way trying
3:02
to be like impressionism art but instead
3:05
he was doing his own type of art form
3:08
that he was allowing himself to do the
3:10
stars too big to do the Moon too big to
3:12
change the colors to to change his scene
3:15
to change what he saw outside of his
3:18
window he really painted this painting
3:21
from memory that he painted this when he
3:23
was in the the the mental institution
3:25
there and he would look outside of his
3:27
window at night and then during the
3:30
daytime he would paint it from his
3:31
memory so he painted more of his emotion
3:34
and his feelings and I think that's one
3:36
of the reasons because those feelings
3:38
come out with the night sky that makes
3:40
this such a powerful painting this
3:42
painting that so many people love so
3:44
much and and I have to say also too that
3:46
I love it I love the colors he used the
3:48
blues and the yellows and and you know
3:51
he you know van go wasn't afraid to use
3:53
colors like that he was able to use them
3:56
so well and the way he even you know
3:58
painted the painting was these thick
4:00
brush strokes and and you know there's
4:03
Dimension to the painting when you look
4:05
at it up close that is one of the things
4:07
that makes this and continues to make
4:09
this Starry Night painting such a
4:12
wonderful and Powerful painting it is
4:15
why it continues to be listed as one of
4:18
the top 10 paintings in the world as one
