Nickos Pat. A1 TITLE OF THE PAINTING Vincent Van Gogh, Self-portrait with Bandaged Ear, 1889. todaysteenagers https://padlet.com/todaysteenagers/Bookmarks/wish/947789579 DESCRIPTION OF THE PAINTING: This self-portrait was painted shortly after Van Gogh returned home from hospital having mutilated his own ear.

The prominent bandage shows that the context of this event is important. Van Gogh depicts himself in his studio, wearing his overcoat and a hat. Is it cold in the studio, or is this a sign of a lack of permanence?

His facial expression is still and melancholy, as though he is contemplating his position as an artist.

On the left, a blank canvas suggests that there is more work to come from this artist, as indeed there was, and a Japanese print on the right relates to an area of great artistic interest for him.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PAINTING: This skeleton with a lit cigarette in its mouth is a juvenile joke. Van Gogh painted it in early 1886, while studying at the art academy in Antwerp. The painting shows that he had a good command of anatomy.

Drawing skeletons was a standard exercise at the academy, but painting them was not part of the curriculum. He must have made this painting at some other time, between or after his lessons.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PAINTING:Vincent van Gogh came across this spot during one of his long walks in the area around his house in The Hague. He wanted to use the dead pollard willow beneath a threatening sky to create a sombre landscape with a railway signalman who, according to the artist, is thinking: ‘how gloomy it is today’.Pollard Willow is a detailed watercolour.

The painting shows a rustic wooden chair, with a simple wicker straw seat, on a tiled floor. On the seat of the chair there is a decorated pipe and a bag of pipe smoke.                                                     On May 7, 1888, Van Gogh moved. His house, the Yellow House, had to be furnished before he could move completely, while he was able to use it as a studio. He wanted a gallery to exhibit his work and began a series of paintings  which included many projects which were all intended as decoration for the Yellow House.

Large blossom branches like this against a blue sky were one of Van Gogh’s favourite subjects. Almond trees flower early in the spring making them a symbol of new life. Van Gogh borrowed the subject, the bold outlines and the positioning of the tree in the picture plane from Japanese printmaking.
The painting was a gift for his brother Theo and sister-in-law Jo, who had just had a baby son, Vincent Willem.

Sunflowers is the name of two series of paintings.The first serie (Paris, 1887) depicts the flowers lying on the ground, while the second serie which was made a year later in Arles, shows a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase.

 In the artist's mind both sets were linked by the name of his friend Paul Gauguin. About eight months later Van Gogh hoped to welcome and to impress Gauguin again with Sunflowers that he prepared for the guestroom of his home in Arles, where Gauguin was supposed to stay.

 Van Gogh had a special interest in sowers throughout his artistic career. All in all, he made more than 30 drawings and paintings on this theme. He painted this sower in the autumn of 1888. At the time, Van Gogh was working together with Paul Gauguin (1848-1903). Gauguin believed that in his work Van Gogh should draw less on reality and more on his imagination.

The painting is considerably larger (almost two by two and a half meters) and equally stilted.  Equipped with a portentous allegorical title invented by Picasso's father Don Jose, who suggested the subject . Deathbed scenes - especially scenes of expiring mothers - were popular all over Europe in the late nineteenth century and several pictures by contemporary Spanish artists have been suggested as sources for Science and Charity.

We also don’t know what the girl looks like – not even the basics like hair or eye color. With her face turned partially away, we can’t really discern its shape. The line of her nose blends into her check so we don’t know if it’s wide, snub, or round. Her look is universal rather than specific. In fact, the painting is not actually a portrait of a particular person, but what the Dutch called a tronie – the head of an ideal “type,” like “a soldier” or “a musician” – or, in this case, “a young beauty". This leads to three powerful qualities of the painting beauty, familiarity, mystery. These are the qualities of Girl with a Pearl Earring that make it an iconic masterpiece. The painting is like a song that ends on the second-to-last chord: we are drawn to look at it again in the hope that this time the last chord will be played, the painting will resolve itself, the mystery will dissipate, and we can leave the girl alone at last.

A1 ''The Face of War'' by Salvador Dali. 1940 https://padlet.com/todaysteenagers/Bookmarks/wish/959650976 The Face of War  is a  painting by the Spanish  surrealist  Salvador  Dali It was painted during a brief period when the artist lived in California. The painting depicts a disembodied face hovering against a barren desert landscape. The face is withered like that of a corpse and wears an expression of misery. In its mouth and eye sockets are identical faces. In their mouths and eyes are more identical faces in a process implied to be infinite. Swarming around the large face are biting serpents. In the lower right corner is a hand print that Dalí insisted was left by his own hand.

A4 "Landscape with snow" of Vincent Van Gogh, 1888 https://padlet.com/todaysteenagers/Bookmarks/wish/1093732158 Landscape with Snow is a painting made by Vincent van Gogh in 1888, believed to be one of the first paintings that he made in Arles . When Van Gogh arrived in Arles in February 1888 the ground was covered with snow due to record cold temperatures. At the time of this painting the snow had begun to melt. It's thought that this painting is one of his first paintings made in Arles. In a letter to his brother Theo about February 24, 1888, Van Gogh describes having completed three paintings in as many days, one of them "a landscape in the snow." It is one of at least ten oil and watercolor paintings that Van Gogh made of a snowy landscape from 1882 to 1889. The painting reflects the La Crau plains set against Montmajour and hills along the horizon.
