2. I selected Vincent Van Gogh's, Cafe Terrace at Night. The
attraction I have for the painting is the contrasting colors and
tones which defy the darkening night sky. One of the
interesting facts about this piece of art is that it is a night
painting without the color black. I also the love the french
setting of the cafe in the quaint village, Arles. The idea of
popular culture is set in this painting as it permeates the
everyday lives of people in a given society. The culture
portrayed is a higher society of individuals in a prominent cafe
setting .
I do not see a function in this painting, I feel it is more of an
attraction piece of art. The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci
is a painting that resembles the painting of Cafe Terrace at
Night. Close study of the artwork compares both paintings to
one central character with long hair and 12 individuals, plus a
figure departing in the shadows. It is believed at the time the
painting of Cafe Terrace at Night was completed, Van Gogh had
a tremendous need for religion.
