After I had a tour of the MoMA Museum of Modern Art, I would like to conduct an in-depth analysis and discussion on one of the most famous paintings in the world: The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh in 1889.

At first sight of this painting, I found The Starry night depicted a village in van Gogh's eye, peaceful and quiet, mixed with reality and illusions. He broadly used cool colors and dynamic lines to show the variable clouds and changing sky, punctuated with the yellow moon and stars to picture more spiritual. Dull green, brown tree placing on the left side is like a huge flame, contrasting the blurred dreamy atmosphere. As we all can see, van Gogh used delicate brushstrokes on the clouds which formed the light blue swirls in the sky, in order to show the movement of the clouds. When it comes to the village down there, he kept the line straight and rigid for the small town. I would say the irregular shape tree played an essential role in the transition from straight line to soft line, thus balanced the whole picture. 

It’s no doubt that van gogh ‘s work has mixed reality and illusion and the starry night he saw is unlike anything we would see in normal, but that’s the exact reason why this painting has

When we look up to the sky, It's no doubt that the starry night in van Gogh's eyes is unlike anything we saw in normal and that’s the exact reason why it gives life to this painting.
