Art Review

This is a painting named Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. It is one of the most well known paintings in modern culture and everyone has probably seen this at one time or another. I think Vincent van Gogh is one of the greatest artists that ever lived and this is my favorite painting of his. When I look at it I think of the beauty of a night sky filled with stars. I have at ease when looking at this. Also looking at this, it also comes out to me as a mystery. The way the the clouds and stars swirl and the big dark structure on the left of the picture. I think it is like a mountain looking down on the town. I used to imagine me standing on top looking down, wondering what went on at night in the city. I still don't know for sure if it is a mountain or not but that is what I interpret it to be. This painting is one of the best and I think this is true art. That's why I love this piece of art.
