What message did van Gogh try to get across in Stary Night?

Don't bother trying to paint straight lines.

Starry Night is being considered a hight of the geniality of the author. Vincent Van Gogh was fascinated by the sky and the night. He painted Starry Night in a few days, probably from his memory or from the window of the Saint-Remy Hospital, we don't think he could have being out on his own.

In the Starry Night, experts believe that Vincent was representing the Via Lactea, a scientific discovery very recent in that time. The meaning is a crazy view from the imagination of a man who was suffering enormously, his religious obsession and his passion for the night is represented in these dark landscape, where the enormous sky almost falls on top of the sleeping town. The composition of the painting is done by a genius, the spiral colors white and yellow around the stars, the vertical lines (the cypress and the tower of the church) cut softly the painting, without taking your attention of the important sky.

It is almost like a pray for hope, how in the big dark night you could still see the light in the windows in the little houses, the stars turn bright and in the dark night is always a little light to see and follow. Watching the painting you can almost feel the silence of the night.

This message you are asking about the painting of "The Starry Night" has not come out to the light of day by moon or by sun light in the last 110 years,... especially since Vincent had painted it mostly in the metamorphic ways that he had painted. In painting this painting in this way and also other works of his, which he had said himself he had done, and while keeping in mind most all these works being painted the last year of his life,... still have not been discovered what he had actually done. I'd say myself many of them having a lot to do with his own death. You have to have artistic eyes like Vincent's and Rembrandt's,.... eyes to see this which he had painted, while keeping in mind the MFA experts themselves have not seen this since there creation. How do you expect someone else to see this and enlighten you with what they themselves sees,.. when the first thing that will be said is that this is a lie, he did not mean what you say.
