Oil Painting —— Vincent Van Gogh's Iris

I was doing other work in my hand, and suddenly I remembered the Iris by the Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh, so I stopped everything and found this painting in my mobile phone photo album. From the first time I mentioned Van Gogh's Sunflower in a novel, I deliberately looked it up on the Internet and came into contact with Van Gogh's autobiography. Looking back at Van Gogh's works now, the understanding of oil painting is not limited to a certain corner. Of course, I don't understand the appreciation of oil painting techniques, and I feel vivid and vivid from a purely humanistic perspective.

Iris is called "one of the greatest works in the period of Saint Mayer". The first time I saw this oil painting, I found that the most interesting part of this painting lies in the details. I just think this flower is strange. The stems of plants are twisted and deformed, like the mutant worms in comics, but they have a strong sense of lines. Blue flowers also have different postures. If you look closely, you can see that their postures are different, and their colors are dazzling dark blue. A handful of ochre wild chrysanthemums as a late ornament, and that piece of red soil, it happened that Van Gogh designed one of them to be abrupt white, as if this white flower was a cluster of blue flowers looking at the other side from a distance. Of course, I didn't know it was called iris before, which gave me the overall feeling that the color was very big and heavy.

In my opinion, the appreciation of works of art and masterpieces handed down from ancient times must be combined with the life of the creator. When you appreciate this kind of play or integration from the creator's point of view, you may feel the spiritual shock that works of art convey to the world. Of course, it depends on everyone's cognitive level of the creator.

Van Gogh was actually a serious mental patient and finally committed suicide. Although "Iris" and "Sunflower" were the flowers outside Van Gogh's window when he was hospitalized in a mental hospital, these two works became the highest achievement of Van Gogh's period and one of the world-famous oil paintings.

There is no doubt that Van Gogh was created in a helpless, lonely, struggling and closed self-state. Now I will look back and enjoy this iris. Flowers with different postures and twisted stems are thick in color, symbolizing a tension of life, a desire for freedom and a struggle that is unwilling to be bound. A large area of blue hides melancholy helplessness.
