I couldn't be there for my best friend for her birthday, so we both used an ai to "create a memory" of what we would do if we were together. Only few more months until we can do this for real.

Turkish Café

Artist: August Macke (German, 1887–1914)

Date: 1914

Medium: Oil on plywood

Collection: Lenbachhaus, Munich, Germany

Description

In April 1914, August Macke, together with Paul Klee and Louis Moilliet, undertook what would later become a legendary trip to Tunis. Under the impression of the southern light and the more intense effect of the colors, his art experienced a final heightening. He returned from Tunis with a wealth of watercolors and sketches. He later executed the painting "Turkish Café" in two versions in Bonn, and gave the present one to Bernhard Koehler, who had supported the trip financially. According to Moilliet's recollection, the motif was the covered entrance at the foot of the stairs to the then famous Café des Nattes in Sidi-Bou-Said.

While Macke captures this motif with a number of details in the drawings in his sketchbook, in the oil painting he concentrates entirely on the lapidary power of pure, strongly colored surfaces of almost abstract quality. The light-filled spatial volumes that still played a certain role in the paintings from 1913 have also given way to the dictates of pure color. The green figure of the seated Arab seems to have been cut out of the blue surface of the house wall, his red fez forms a complementary contrast. The orange and violet of the door panel also stand vertically in the picture as a pure, almost indissoluble complementary contrast. The blue of the house wall finds its complementary complement in the yellow of the chair and the awning. In other ways, such as in the works of Franz Marc or Wassily Kandinsky, Macke's pictures gain their "inner necessity" by reducing their color and formal elements to the greatest simplicity.

Terrace at a Cafe at Night

Artist: Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890)

Date: 1888

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, Netherlands

Nocturnal Painting

Van Gogh had intended to make a nocturnal painting for some time. And not one in the conventional manner, in shades of black and grey, but actually with an abundance of colours. Equally unconventional is that he paints this gas-lit terrace of a café in Arles in situ and in the dark, because colours have a different appearance during the day than by night.

Sharp Contrast

The most eye-catching aspect is the sharp contrast between the warm yellow, green and orange colours under the marquise and the deep blue of the starry sky, which is reinforced by the dark blue of the houses in the background. Van Gogh was pleased with the effect: ‘I believe that an abundance of gaslight, which, after all, is yellow and orange, intensifies blue.’

Constellations

He writes to his sister Wil: ‘I enormously enjoy painting on the spot at night.’ The fact that he observes keenly is borne out by later astronomical research. He painted the constellations precisely as they appeared on the night of 16 or 17 September 1888.
