I think art is a very personal thing, like music. One persons heaven is onother persons hell.

i think that is my fave painting....love it!

I haven't seen starry night. Please excuse my ignorance.

I do believe that we all interpret art individually. As Fazer says it is a personal thing.

I find it calming too...all the swirling, dark with little twinkling bits of yellow :).

Googling this Starry Night.:)

We have a drawing here at the house of scattered circles, squares and triangles and lines all makingup these . It's hard to explain. Anyway it reminds me of being bp. Racing thoughts, scattered thoughts. But as a rule I think all art is interpreted differently by each person. We may just interpret it differently depending on our moods.

I like it.The VanGogh one? It is really cool.

Yeah, its not a BP thing, it's an interpretation thing. I remember in middle school we were talking about art interpretation, and Starry Night was our focus. some people feel its ugly, with the empty white spaces, and the dashes of paint, ect, while others feel the stars are sending a message that god is protecting the town, and it is very peaceful and beautiful. Its all up to your point of view. Def. an art thing, not a BP thing. :)

The first time i saw Stary Night in person...I was amazed at how small the painting is....afterall,to me,it represented the entirety of the UNiverse.

Historians believe Van Gogh to have been in a mixed episode when hw painted Stary Night...the vibrant colors set in a deep purple,the masive brush strokes.

He painted 2000 paintings in the last 17 months of his life.

Stary Night was painted from memeory,as a t the time he was confined to Saint Remy Asslymn for the insane.

This is my favorite painting of all time.The first time I saw it,I must have been 8 or 9,my mom had just bought a new set of books on art.....and that;s when I saw it .

Because she is a freaking idiot. It is a world masterpiece.

I have also seen Starry Night. It is beautiful beyond saying.

Everyone looks at art differently. Natural reaction to look at something, appreciate it, then have someone else not find it appealing to "them", sometimes I take that personally too. I'm that way with music, especially if I wrote it.

BTW... I just looked up "Starry Night"
Cool, I'd hang that on my wall

#11,Mack it is a natural reaction for us to hope taht someone will see and apprciate the effort we put into our craft..be it music or art.....but ,if I had painted Starry Night,and someone had rejected it.....I would have cut off..their ear!

Further, we had a van Gogh exhibit in recent years in my town. You could scarcely get into the show. van Gogh is loved and speaks to many, many people, not just the bp or whatever.

Just googled the painting and Ilove it. For me paintings are very emotional, so everybodies reaction I think would be different whether BP or not.
