The yellow house of van Gogh

This is the painting of van Gogh (The Yellow House) created in 1888.

Assignment of art about van Gogh.

Vincent Willem van Gogh was bron on 30 March 1853 in Groot-Zundert a village close to Breda in the province of North Brabant in the south of the Netherlands.

He drew a painting which is called the yellow house which was created in 1888.

Constantijn C.Huysmans a successful artist in paris, taught van Gogh to draw at the school and advocated a systematic approach to the subject. Vincent's interest in art began at an early age. He began to draw as a child and make drawings throughout the years leading to his decision to become artist. van Gogh was enchanted by the local landscape and light. His works from the period are richly draped in yellow ultramarine and mauve.

This painting consists of big building (house), tree, some people, and blue sky. van Gogh used water-colours painting to colour it. This building was in Arles, France, where van Gogh rented four rooms.

van Gogh drew and painted with watercolours. van Gogh improved the lighting of his studio by installing variable shutters and experimented with a variety of drawing materials.

Early in 1883, he began to work om multi-figure compostions, which he based on his drawings, he had some of them photographed. When he moved to Nuenen after the intermezzo in Drenthe, he began to destroy a lot of large-sized paintings. The Potato Easters and it's companion pieces- The old tower on the Nuenen cemetery and the cottage are the only ones to have survived. van Gogh was aware that many of his faults were due to lack of technical experience. So in November 1885, he traveled to Antwerp and Paris to learn and develop his skill.

His good thing about this painting was that his enormous on Expressionism, Fauvism and early abstraction was enormous and it can be seen in other aspects of 20 century art.

But what was bad about this painting was that there was another colours to colour it or another drawing beside it which makes it little bit busy with something so that he could use another type of colour or painting. Also something which was bad in his life was that he sold only one painting during his lifetime (Red vineyard at Arles; Pushkin museum, Moscow) and was little known to the art world at the time of his death.

Actually van Gogh had done a good job, because his fame grew rapidly and his stormy and dramatic life and his unswerving devotion to his ideals have made him one of the great cultural heroes of modern times.

Well, people should see his work because he drew a lot of awesome paintings and also to have a knowledge about how did he draw and what materials did he use and also to know about his life and how was he genius about painting and drawing.

There were some opinions about van Gogh, many people thought of van Gogh as a sucidal man, but many people like his paintings. But they saw him as a sucidal man because he had cut his ear and that's not a way how an artist would do that; so people saw it like kind of craze.

I would say that he had done nice work and he had done nice job not only in this painting but all of his life, and an example of that is, that he done 150 paintings and during his last 70 days he drew 70 canvases. Also another example was that when he settled in February 1888, he painted more than 200 canvases only in 15 months.

Actually, if i would own his work, i would do the same job or even better and i would paint a lot of paintings and make the fame of van Gogh spread all over the world.

People still remember this painting; because it was made in France so people would know about him and that's also the place where he rented four rooms there, also because of his fame; people would still remember him and remember his awesome work about paintings...
