Art That Changed the World

Starry Night- Vincent Van Gogh- June 1889

The infamous Starry night by Vincent Van Gogh is one of the most popular and most recognised works of Van Gogh. It is an oil painting created in June 1889 and shows a view of a village out of van Gogh's asylum window just before sunrise. The painting is currently on view at the Museum of Modern Art in New York since 1941.

The painting itself has changed the worl as it it more of an abstract, crazy almost insane looking style and allows the person viewing to have their own feelings and interpretation on the painting.

Personally I think that the painting shows Van Gogh's mental state during his stay at the asylum and shows an element of madness, insanity and an extraordinary view of a simple view of a village from a window.
