ART WORKS

THE STARRY NIGHT


Portrait of Woman in

Woman with a Fan
The Starry Night

Subject: Nature

Characteristics: Abstraction Elongation

Source of the Art Inspiration: Nighttime

Van Gogh created Starry Night in 1889 just thirteen months before his
death when he was staying in an asylum at Saint-Remy. Starry Night is
believed to show the view from his bedroom window.

Van Gogh was a huge fan of nighttime and his passion for this was
depicted in Starry Night and a number of other nocturnal canvases such
as Starry Night over the Rhone and Café Terrace at Night.
Portrait of Woman in Hat

Subject: Objective art (not named)

Characteristics: Abstraction Elongation

Source of the Art Inspiration: People

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani was an Italian Jewish artist. He died at


the age of 35, unrecognized and unappreciated. Only after his death,
Modigliani’s oeuvres achieved success. Fifteen years of his life were
dedicated to sculpture, but from a very early age Amedeo dreamed of
becoming a painter. He was a talented student who understood art in his
own way. His unique perception and desire to break the rules of fashionable
movements provided an important basis for his style.
Woman with a Fan

Subject: Objective art (woman)

Characteristics: Abstraction Elongation

Source of the Art Inspiration: People

Here Modigliani shows his firm friend posed gracefully, her seated
body in its yellow dress forming lithe curves against the scarlet background.
Later in life, Czechowska vividly recalled sitting for Modi as he drank cheap
brandy, sang, lapsed into Italian and, eventually, fell so far into the act of
painting that he became oblivious to the presence of another human being.
And then, there she was on canvas, left with " ... the impression of having
the soul laid bare and of being in the strange position of being able to do
nothing to disguise her feelings.".
