#Neo Impressionism

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

I'm thinking about Stanley's sketchbook again, and can you IMAGINE how art movements at the time could have affected his art??? I'm not exactly an art history expert but from what I remember, Pop Art was only just going out of style during the 1970-somethings, when people started to look more towards Neo-Impressionism late 1970- early 1980s, and good LORD that was a whole thing /pos

Idk how he would have even seen the art movement?? I'm not sure how art was distributed to the public back then, especially from the point of view of homeless people. Could they have been displayed on storefront windows or newspapers, or were they a NYC SoHo art scene exclusive thing? Idk!! But the thought of Stan experimenting with his style is gnawing at my brain!!!!

Roses, Vincent Van Gogh, 1889

[moonagedaydreamsofrhiannon]

Just a reminder that the “tortured artist” trope is a myth. Vincent Van Gogh’s most famous and beloved works are not bleak and depressing; they’re filled with hope, and reverence for the beauty of the world around him. He was not a great artist because of his pain, he was a great artist because of his hope, in spite of his pain.

Vincent Van Gogh Dutch 1853 - 1890 Self-Portrait, 1887, Oil on artist's board, mounted on crafted paper.

The intense colors and energetic brushwork of this self-portrait may hint at the artist's turbulent inner life. Vincent van Gogh suffered from bouts of depression and anxiety and came to painting after struggling to find professional footing as a pastor, teacher, and art dealer. In selecting the palette for this work, he followed Neo-Impressionist color theory which held that color opposites such as blue and yellow or read and green create a vibrating optical effect when laid down next to each other. Gut what for other artists was a method based on the cool objectivity of science became in Van Gogh's hands and emotional language. Here the blue-green of the background sets off the orange red of the artist hair and beard bringing focus to his arresting expression.
