    Vincent Van Gogh tried to capture the colors of night in paintings like The Poet - Boch and Starry Night, portraying starlight and artificial light with swirling implied lines. While both Starry Night and Night Cafe depict light in a similar visual style, they represent different meanings - Night Cafe uses dark reds and greens to depict "terrible human passions" and a vile environment, whereas Starry Night conveys a calm but foreboding vibe with Van Gogh's statement "We take death to go to a star."

    Visual Elements of ART

    Throughout much of his career, Vincent Van Gogh tried to capture


    'the colors of cnight' through his paintings. This is especially true for
    his two paintings, The Poet - Boch, and Starry Night. However, Van
    Gogh did not exclusively try to replicate the night sky. In his
    piece Night Cafe, he captures artificial light as well. In both Starry
    Night and Night Cafe, Van Gogh portrays starlight and artificial light
    very similarly in the fact that the light they emit are both made up of
    swirling implied lines. Contrarily though, the pieces seem to have two
    different meanings. The dark reds and contrasting greens in The
    Cafe are meant to represent "terrible human passions". Van Gogh
    made this piece with the belief that the place he was in was vile and
    could persuade anyone into committing unlawful acts. In a Starry
    Night, there is more of a calm but slightly foreboding vibe. Van Gogh
    stated, "We take death to go to a star." There is a longing for the
    beauty of the stars, but an ominous presence in knowing that only
    through death may we obtain them.
