Who comes to mind when we say the painter of yellow?
Of course Van Gogh. He is among the popular painters with his different brush strokes and unique style. If we briefly mention Van Gogh's 5 most famous works:
Almond Blossom
Van Gogh said when he received the news of his nephew's birth.
I was very happy with the good news, I immediately started drawing a picture for this beautiful child. Blue sky... Almond branches with white flowers blooming against such a sky... To hang in her bedroom..."
Self-portrait with bandaged ear
This painting was painted 2 weeks after the incident between Van Gogh and Gauguin, which resulted in Van Gogh cutting off his ear and giving it as a gift to a prostitute. The painter created this self-portrait as a reflection of his image, which had completely changed after his experiences. He is secretly trying to prove that he is back to normal and can manage on his own after being released from the hospital. He is trying to show his doctors that it is not necessary to be locked up in a mental hospital.
The Patato Eaters
The painting depicts villagers eating the potatoes they produce. He used dark colors when depicting daily life troubles and poverty in his paintings.
Vase with twelve sunflowers
Vase with Twelve Sunflowers shows the different stages of development of the flowers in his works. Along with the green small fresh sunflower hanging from the vase on the left, adult yellow flowers and brown large-headed flowers that have gone to seed are in the same vase. While this picture in different colors adds harmony, it also shows the same survival situation of the different stages he went through - youth, maturity, old age.
Starry Night
“I think nothing is good in this whole pile except the wheat field, the orchard, the mountain, the blue-topped olive groves, and the entrance to the Quarry. The rest doesn't tell me anything because it's incomplete.”
