I find Vincent Van Gogh’s A starry Night very beautiful. I like the color and the way that it almost looks innocent. This painting shows how he goes with what he feels and is effortless. It shows that it is almost out of control (text, a world of art, pg61). The use of his lines is all over and not consistent. It is forth going you know that is a Van Gogh painting. In Sol LeWitt’s Wall Drawing the lines are very equal and exact. It is also a beautiful painting but to me is seems cold. They are very exact lines going all ways. He is very precise and controlled with his paintings (text, A World of Art pg. 64). He puts the same amount of time but more thought on how his lines are going to go. I like the color choice that he made. They say that LeWitt comes from the mind and Van Gogh is from the heart. They are both different is ways but still the same in ways. The lines are beautiful and show each personality with in them. Either a lot of thought can go into the lines or just go with it and have a beautiful painting.
The painting by Diego Velazquez, Las Meninas is very open and interesting. I like the way he puts himself into the painting and puts the princess in the middle of the painting. He puts all the space in the painting to good use. He makes you think and look at the whole thing. There is not one open spot with nothing in it not to discuss. Everything is strategically placed to where you make sure you can see it and put a story to it. I do believe it puts out the effect of a love story. It shoes the parents coming to see the princess before her marriage and all the little people playing around as if still innocent before marriage. You see the author of the painting putting him into to capture the innocence and the way they all are placed around her as to pamper her. The picture on the wall even show the viewers that her parents are watching over her in a way that the painter is painting them to keep...
