POST-IMPRESSIONISM Post-Impressionism Vincent Van Gogh, Starry Night, 1889. Oil on canvas. Painted in June, 1889, Vincent’s most famous piece depicts the view (with the notable addition of an idealized village) from the east-facing window of his asylum room at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just before sunrise. Van Gogh depicted the view at different times of day and under various weather conditions, including sunrise, moonrise, sunshine-filled days, overcast days, windy days, and one day with rain. The hospital staff did not allow Van Gogh to paint in his bedroom, but he was able to make sketches in ink or charcoal on paper, and eventually he would base newer variations on previous versions. The pictorial element uniting all of these paintings is the diagonal line coming in from the right depicting the low rolling hills of the Alpilles mountains. In fifteen of the twenty-one versions, cypress trees are visible beyond the far wall enclosing the wheat field. POST-IMPRESSIONISM Post-Impressionism Vincent Van Gogh, Starry Night, 1889. POST-IMPRESSIONISM Post-Impressionism Vincent’s paintings had a scientific reality to them. His paintings often depict the world as it is comprised of moving molecules and atoms.

Post-Impressionism Edvard Munch, The Scream, 1893. Tempera and pastels on cardboard. In his diary in an entry headed, Nice 22 January 1892, Munch described his inspiration for the image: One evening I was walking along a path, the city was on one side and the fjord below. I felt tired and ill. I stopped and looked out over the fjord—the sun was setting, and the clouds turning blood red. I sensed a scream passing through nature; it seemed to me that I heard the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds as actual blood. The color shrieked. This became The Scream. POST-IMPRESSIONISM Post-Impressionism Edvard Munch, The Scream, 1893.

VIENNA SUCCESSION (Austrian Art Nouveau) Gustav Klimt creating this work at the high point of his "Golden Period", when he painted a number of works in a similar gilded style. A perfect square, the canvas depicts a couple embracing, their bodies entwined in elaborate robes decorated in a style influenced by both linear constructs of the contemporary Art Nouveau style and the organic forms of the earlier Arts and Crafts movement. The work is composed of oil paint with applied layers of gold leaf, an aspect that gives it its strikingly modern, yet evocative appearance.
