Starry Night Analysis | What makes van Gogh unique? (Video Essay)

- Starry Night is perhaps the most visually stunning of Van Gogh's work, here I analyse the painting, looking at the composition, and Van Gogh's situation when painting it. Most revealingly, we discover that what gave Van Gogh his distinctive use of colour was that he was quite possibly colourblind.

"Van Gogh's painting is the most wonderful interpretation of human sufferings"
That line caught my attention the first time I heard it. I just saw this video at the Van Gogh - The Immersive Experience yesterday and came back today to listen more to your talk with subtitles in French and Dutch over and over again almost ten times at least. Thank you for this analysis of "Starry Nights", very moving and poignant.
I am also color blind, and makes me think that what I see in my paintings are being different from what the other people see. Thanks for this video!
This is the most beautiful, educated way to explain this great man's thought process. Well,well done. The Best.
Wow, thank you!
What a beautiful analysis! As a Creative Writing graduate, I am most impressed by the amazing wording you chose in describing his art - that, and the accent. Of course, the accent. Guess I'll be watching this on repeat now...
I can say that he is not color blind with certainty. The reason is because he uses color harmony in his paintings. Most notably are yellow pairing with purple, and green pairing with red.
As a fellow colorblind artist, your commentary here is incredible...yet you could add that Vincent's spirituality was fully integrated with his view of the world and his art.
Thanks so much, this is a real encouragement...maybe I'll paint impressionistically hereafter!
It's like he captured the energy field all around us. Everything is in the air we just need to know how to go and grab it.
I believe the change of colors started when he was in Paris.
I am a lover for Vincent's story and his paintings 😭😭😭😭
i am shocked... this gave me chills!
Notice how fluid dynamics are displayed in the night sky
omg bro i cried
Me too. I thought I was the only one to tear up
😂😂
The Van Gogh being color blind theory is one of the dumbest things I have heard in a while.
And it would make his brilliant use of color merely accidental, ultimately detracting from the uniqueness of his style. Poppycock!
Absolutely magnificent description.It's the critical analysis of par excellence and I as a student of literature delighted to hear the accent and the voice modulation to accentuate the vividly magical painting. I would like to keep it as a reference piece in my mind by listening to it over and over again. Thank you brother
im studying for something. this video helped me a lot. thank you
Thank you for such owesome video.
My favourite painting of all,by my favourite artist,
Love insight
Great video. There are no words to express the talent that Vincent had, color blind or not. I have not seen anyone be able to even come close to this master piece although millions have tried. We love you Vincent!
I want to first praise this Painting. It is truly captivating and unique. It just heart warning, as if it is moving... Color blind!? I find that unbelieveable after you showing other paintings with bright shining colors. There is a paint called Incandecent. And now I am making an art piece, it's not a panting, a simple tribute to frontliners with my own song composition aboove the drawing inspired by a Filipino (in English lyric) song for Christmas. I used yellow and non and light blue, blue and darker blue to make an illusion of light in the lantern.
I could listen to you talk for hours
@Sun Flower Why did you have to comment this? Is it because you want attention, or is it because you want attention? You could've just commented nothing and turned sound off, captions on.
so,,, why?
No doubts Stary nights is beautiful .......so beautiful but how you explain it .is just love.
why you only have 2.2 k subs???
your vid deserves a millions views!
This has made me cry. He is also my favourite. But I never learned that he was colour blind. This makes me love him even more. ✨🌟
Painting: *exists*
English teachers:
Just wonderful!
for me , the so called "impressionism" means that bizarre yet beautiful world I've been dreaming my whole life
Big fan of Van Gogh. Got many helpful information from your analysis. Thank you.
I think that Vincent was not colour blind. His works was about his emotions and he used more colour than other artists at that to express them. I you know the symtoms of depression ......
I wasn’t ready for your narration.
Amazing way with words friend
amazing, i loved a lot..
Thank you so much
🌌
I do love it.. such a wonderful video! thanks
I love these videos, hope you return!
For me , I love the colour, the energy, the atmosphere, The texture and movement. The unusual ....just memorising. ..🌍 I don't believe he was colour blind, he just loved colour.
Great presentation thanks million. I really enjoyed your presentation
I love art ... all you have to do is produce something very abstract and then express its essence very eloquently and soon enough everyone will be impressed.
Beautiful and touching video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot. Loved the way u impart knowledge to us
Very touching video. Thank you 💗
Thank you for the video, I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned something new. A Starry Night has always had a haunting beauty to me.
Thank you - I'm glad you liked it. Comments like these are the things that keep me going.
The Cogito And keep going you should. Its clear that you put a lot of effort and love into your videos.
@Sun Flower You, again? Now you are hating on the art. If that's how you feel, a responsible person would stay quiet and keep their opinion in their mind.
The starry night makes me cry.
I am an Artist too, and color blind as well. Always wondering what do the rest of the people see. I am a mess dressing; I like how I look , and it's OK for me; but a disaster for the others. Loved this story.
Hey, I don't know who made this. But that fellow did an impeccable job in describing the work of Van Gogh. I appreciate it. But when u think about it, his life was uneasy. He never saw what he had accomplished in his work. But the fervour that u have employed to describe him, his life didn't resonate it with in his lifetime. Probably he died with a heavy and sad heart for all good things eluded him. I digressed. Great job.
Van Gogh paintings make you feel the art even if you are not into art.
Thanks for putting this together. Wonder if the volume of background music could be softer...
Beautiful analysis. Thank you!
Your voice is nice and calm
Even before hearing about Van Gogh biography, I already liked his yellow paintings. Only now I realised is because me and Van Gogh are both Daltonic
Aren't we being to deep, analizing someone's creation? Why do we love making simple things complicated?
Because they are.
Exactly. He painted from the heart the beauty that he saw....
When he said that he is colour blind, it just made me feel more shit at art
Art is individual and so nobody can be bad at it just different. Your personality will be your style. Never compare what you do with anyone else. My favourite art is by my grandson. 😊
Some more paintings please!! (Evelyn would love that too, I'm sure)
Thank you! I may be working on just that right now...
(Evelyn does enjoy art galleries, even at her current age)
Great clip, thanks for sharing, but i think Van Gogh was not colorblind, in fact, Gauguin once adviced Van Gogh to use bright full yellow. Which would mean Gauguin was also colorblind? Looking at the expression put in the way this is painted, the way he painted stands in line with the expression of colour.
Music is fantastic.I enjoyed video, informative
At least 10k subs over the next year mark my words
great stuff man ,
Glad you enjoyed it
I loved it!
You are amazing... 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🙏🏻
Brilliant.
"Van Gogh retreats from the world"
Thank You ! Most Excellent )
beautiful video! well done
I have been working on Starry Nights as a diamond painting... And with each segment I come to love it more and more and after watching thus video I understand why... Why the colors used react to my eyes the way they do and I have now an idea of what he saw as he created it... Truly a very insightful and interesting video..
Thnx if you are interested in about 6 weeks check out my page for the video of my progression of Starry Nights in Diamond Painting...
What is the tittle of music?
Man....I cried 😢😔💔I don't know....but now I know 😢
Leave the city and get into the countryside at night and the night sky is astonishing - a point too many moderns completely miss.
❤❤
good video-well done
We all are 'color blind" in a way or another, we all see the world in a subjective point of view. Artists are the only ones fighting to keep they uniquie views, instead of ordinary man than lost is uniqueness as a child and became social addicted, social acceptance, money kog making machine, rejecting suffering asociated with uniqueness and embraces pain free ordinary acceptance.
Does this make sense? why would he see a color in the world he sees different as the color of a paint?
Still love this video though
Can the music be quieter?
I agree. Great video analysis, though.
I thought the music was just perfect
I heard someone said that Sushant Rajput's twitter profile pic was this 😢
Yes 😭
@Ranjit Tyagi I am not even Indian , I used to like him but never followed him after his sudden death I came to know all his achievements and his authentic personality..I am still sad that we lost him he was a great human being 🙂
Like the art students who mistook a closeup photo of their teacher's apron to be the work of some brilliant impressionist, absent some objective measures of quality, art interpreters can pretty much say anything they want
As a color blind, i don't know what to believe anymore 😔
Is It iconic or understanding?
What's the music called? It's beautiful
WATCH BTS - IDOL pachelbels canon
Thanks, namasthe
🙌🙌🙌🙏
So what I’m colour blind too and a painter
Bgm : Canon in D
I don’t understand paintings. I’m trying... though.
Can anyone please tell me the name of the background music??
Jacob Matthew Montemayor hi there
Johann Pachelbel - Canon in D Major
Thanks Barbara and shadowisity
Why are you saying Van Goff?
Hey, do you know that the exposure "Van Gogh : the immersive experience" in Bruxelles had broadcast this video in one of its room? Did they ask/paid you for that?
Nice video, thank you :)
Flinders Rangers, SA?
please do not overuse pachebel's canon in d. if you want licence free music, pick and obscure and not distracting piano tune
I still don't get it
I am afraid I do not agree with the assumption that van Gogh was probably colour blind. But thanks for the video.
Whats the name of the music being played in the background?
Canon by Patchelbel
Van gogh's paintings are amazing.
Everyone says that so i am saying it too..
~Everyone
I'm color blind too. There is red/green and blue yellow color blindness. I'm red/ green, its like a soup but blue/yellow I can see. I think... Who knows what we are seeing.
Is that painting protected by copyright law?
What happened to Vincent Van Gogh as a child?
Just type 'van gogh psychobiography gail saltz' here in youtube...it's a great 80min long discusion between 2 van gogh biographers and a psychiatrist dr.salts during which they discuss van gogh's childhood, life, relationships, personality and what shaped him. It's very interesting
I don’t think a lot of thats even brush, strokes, but a pallet knife.
maybe its me but I just see a weird painting thats looks kinda nice not all that nonsense.
Always thought it was pronounced "Go"...... I hear you saying "Guff". Interesting.
Although it seems van gogh wasn't really colourblind www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en/125-questions/questions-and-answers/question-52-of-125?v=1
This video was in Van Gogh :The immersive experience in Brussels

Dear "the cognito"
I have produced some replicated and transformed art out of your video, could I send it to you?
Its to find on instagram, armandmatisse his last post under my name jasmin spielmann
Sure, I'd love to see it
My mailadress is
jasminspielmannswitzerland@gmail.com I will send it as soon as you send me a mail with your coordinates
I am not buying that he was color blind. I would be willing to bet someone could use other artist's work and have similar results. It's just a dismissive way to shadow his brilliance.
i thot it was because of his ear
Not a fan of the way you stated he was color blind as if it was a matter of fact. Highly unlikely
