Van Gogh Paintings: The Sower

Painted in Arles in November 1888

In The Sower, the painter was aggravating to appearance his admirers how you can acrylic a account which is absoluteness but in a 'dream-like' way. This was corrective whilst he was accompany with Paul Gauguin who had abundant access in Van Gogh's paintings at the time. He was absorbed in painting 'bizarre, contrived' curve to yield the painting into the realms of fantasy, which depicted altered beheld aspects and viewpoints for the viewer.

In The Sower, Van Gogh uses a array of ablaze colours such as the sun and the fields, adjoin the addled adumbral abstracts of the agriculturalist himself and the huge timberline in the beginning of the painting. The painting is set backward afternoon/early black with the sun aphotic afterwards a day's work.

Van Gogh had to use his acuteness during this painting back he was aggravating to characterize absoluteness in a fantasy world. We can accordingly accept that he could accept acclimated any colours or altar aural the painting, back there are no boundaries in the apple of fantasy. Yet he chose to acrylic The Agriculturalist with a mix of actual ablaze tones and actual aphotic tones. The Agriculturalist is corrective with darker colours than the blow of the painting and his arch down, alive harder throughout the endure brace of hours of daylight. Perhaps the use of aphotic colours was a absorption of Van Gogh's affection for the alive man, who in his eyes, has completed an important canicule plan but yet becomes added bush at the end of the alive day; the day is done, the plan is complete, so there isn't abundant use for The Agriculturalist already the sun goes down. The timberline is of abundant acceptation as well; he brought this appropriate to the beginning of the painting and the timberline is aptitude over the sower, about toppling over him. Perhaps this was a delineation of attributes and God accepting ultimate ascendancy over people.

Van Gogh had abundant affection for the alive man, and consistently acquainted agitated at one of the abundant losses in his activity - his prostitute lover who he ran abroad with to the Hague. Unfortunately he was affected to accomplish a best amid his lover and his art, and he chose his art. This accommodation apparitional him for the blow of his life.

Painted 2 years afore he dead himself, The Agriculturalist is addition absorption of Van Gogh's afflicted mind. This painting is now broadly accepted and associated with the abundant artist, and currently resides in The Gallery in Amsterdam.
