Love the Vatican at midnight? Gao has two works depicting the starry sky, one is Arrhenius' work, and the other is Coffee House at Night. In these two works, the flashing traffic stars in the blue night sky stand out. In the early days of San Remy, this starry night was painted by Van Gogh. The feeling of the world buried deep in the soul. Every big star and small star rotates in the night sky, and the new moon also forms a vortex, and the nebula and ridge line keep crawling like dragons. The dark green cypress is like a huge flame, hovering from the depths of the earth; On the mountainside, the slender church steeple stretched uneasily into the sky. Everything seems to be spinning, turning, boring and shaking, emitting gorgeous colors in the night sky. ...

This oil painting is one of the few works he has painted. It creates a certain atmosphere with imaginary shapes and colors without directly observing objects. Van Gogh? The tall "starry night" depicts some sleeping huts, and cypress trees stretch out from below into the deep blue sky; Some yellow stars swirl with the flashing orange moon, and the sky becomes active. This is a reflection of the strongest fantasy in the heart, a creative attempt to vent strong feelings that cannot be suppressed, rather than the result of a calm study of the surrounding nature.

This painting has two line styles, one is a long curved line and the other is a short broken line. The interactive use of the two makes the picture present a dazzling fantasy scene. This is obviously divorced from reality, purely for the Vatican? Think high. On the left, the turbulent sky contrasts with the calm village. Cypress is visually in balance with the horizontal mountains and sky. The color of the whole painting is blue-green, and the artist uses a sense of movement to express nebulae and trees, which flow continuously and rapidly like waves; In his works, nebulae and trees are like a burning fireball, working hard and expressive, leaving a deep impression on people.

Young girls in avignon

Just as people were expecting Picasso to embark on a new exploration stage with the "blue period" and "pink period" as the starting point, 1907, he painted this painting "The Maiden of avignon".

This is a cubist work completely divorced from the previous artistic techniques. At that time, it was inevitable to be ridiculed and accused by all walks of life. What does this picture show? Picasso took the image of a prostitute he saw in Barcelona's "Avenon Avenue" as the prototype. This street is famous for its numerous brothels. The woman in the picture is a prostitute in this street. The painter has revised the manuscript many times. In the sketch of this work, there is a sailor and a medical student who just entered the door. Picasso boldly drew five girls and two men. The background is the living room or dining room of a brothel. Later, after several revisions, there was a bold breakthrough. Picasso once told people that he hated this topic. Because the girls in avignon are not attractive young girls, but prostitutes who betray love, and they have nothing to do with the women in the painting. The name of this painting was given by the poet Samon. According to these naked women, perhaps the poet associated them with Avignon brothels.

In this painting, the viewer can feel that the painter is interested in pure pastoral humor. The colors of five naked women are on a blue background. Blue reminds him of the beautiful scenery in Gosol. But what the audience saw was a group of women with geometric variation. A woman sitting on the right looks like she is wearing a mask. When she turned around, her face looked terrible, like a ghost crawling out of the underworld, but the color was like a cooked suckling pig. On the far left, a woman is pulling open the ochre curtain to show her sisters' diamond-shaped bodies. Her serious expression and profile are like Egyptian murals. There is a pile of fruit in the middle. In a word, these images make people feel sick after watching them. When the poet associated these images with avignon, the audience seemed to be insulted and scolded Picasso for his vulgarity. Little did they know that this painting made French cubist painting develop unprecedentedly in the next ten years, and even spread to other fields. Not only in art, but also in ballet, stage design, literature and music. The Girl in avignon created a new situation of French cubism, and Picasso and Braque also became the man of the hour of this painting school.

Persistence of memory

The Persistence of Memory is Dali's early masterpiece, which has long been recognized and widely circulated.

In the surrealist painting movement, the most active and influential is the famous Spanish painter Dali. This important surrealist figure, who is active in painting, literature, film, jewelry, craft design, etc., studied at Madrid Fine Arts School in his early years and came to Paris in 1928. Influenced by Picasso, Miro and the surrealist theorist Brighton, he quickly devoted himself to his artistic activities and became the most active figure in the surrealist movement. In the 1930s, he created famous surrealist paintings such as "The Persistence of Memory", which were almost the same as color photos, so he nicknamed them "hand-painted photos". Clocks, insects, pianos, telephones, photos, old paintings and other objects often appear on these small pocket canvases, and painters often transform them into nightmare images.

The persistence of memory depicts a dead wilderness by pocket painting. Calm as a mirror, Ma Pingchuan's beaches, desolate coast, and a square pedestal, a board and a tree that can't appear in this environment. The picture highlights three clocks like soft cakes, some hanging on a tree, some hanging on a pedestal, another weakly draped on a white creature like a face, and a red clock that is not deformed and covered with black ants. There is still a fly parked on the soft watch on the platform of the square. Ants and flies are painted very carefully, even their projections are painted very carefully. However, everything in the painting is so absurd, and the painter expresses the law of life and knowable objects that people have long been accustomed to in a delusional vein and unreasonable way. Time seems to have stopped here, space has solidified, and reality has disappeared here, leaving only vague dreams and interesting scenes. The soft table created by the painter in his paintings has gradually become a typical image and representative schema of surrealism in people's minds.

Van Gogh? Gao's Starry Moon Night is the treasure of the town hall in the museum.
