Introduction
 Picasso once said that he had never painted what he saw but
always painted what he felt. After having the initial glance on Van
Gogh The starry night, the essence of this painting seem to
resonate with that proclamation of Picasso.
 I do music and probably that is why the painting came to me as a
shock of recognition.

Explanation of my inspiration piece

Conti…
The painting that I have chosen is A Society
by Van Gogh and explored the pure
abstraction of the painter.
After that, I have formed my own painting
relying on one of the aspects of the paintings
of Van Gogh. Afterwards, I have explored the
thematic connection between my painting
and Van Gogh.

Description of my piece

Conti…
 Most of the art scholars have recognized the paintings of
Van Gogh as the exponents of the art tradition of pure
abstraction. My inspiration piece is titled as A Society and
cumulatively considered as the apex of his career after the
advent of World War I.
 Several other lauded art critics have characterized the
painting style of Van Gogh as synesthetic. In the most of
the cases, the composition of colours and the apparent
appearance of those colours happen to become the major
point of discussion.

Thematic connection between two pieces
 I have named my piece Musée d'Orsay that, apart from Van
Gogh, is also influenced by a painter contemporary to Van Gogh;
Kazimir Malevich.
 It apparently appears very simple to perceive and draw but I wish
to illustrate it as an emblem of avant-garde art tradition, which is
still prevalent at that time.
