This is a continuation of my thread, ‘A Very Organized Schizophrenic’.
I spend a lot of time in the back room of my apartment. I’m an artist, so I want it to be inspiring back there. …so I decided to get a Van Gogh painting printed to a shade for the one window back there.
Some details about the painting:
-
“Measuring about two-and-a-half by three feet, “Green Wheat Fields, Auvers” was thought to have been painted in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, following van Gogh’s voluntary confinement at the asylum in St.-Rémy. While there, he painted what are often described as his “pure landscapes,” capturing the countryside he saw around him. Devoid of figures, the painting is consumed by a windswept field, rendered in dramatic rich greens and blues, with his sweeping brushwork and thick impasto.”
-
“In his letters, van Gogh talks about being absorbed in a sea of windy grass”
-
“Within weeks after painting “Green Wheat Fields, Auvers,” van Gogh killed himself, yet the paintings he left from those last few months are “classic, great and super vibrant.””
-
His last words were: “The Sadness will Last Forever.”
I took a picture of the room before:
Here is the ‘After’ picture where I have used Photoshop to conceptualize what it would look like:
Should take 2 to 3 weeks to arrive. Can’t wait to be absorbed in ‘Green Wheat Fields, Auvers’
