Van Gogh
The Church at Auvers
Harvest time
1890
Art critic Tribute said about Van Gogh’s creation with the church as the background: “Because the separation of the road in front of the background is the key road... This road leads to the cemetery on the right side. There is a back facing the audience on the left. The woman walking forward seems to symbolize staying away from the church from now on.” Van Gogh painted the back of the doorless church. It also seems to symbolize the pain of betrayal for the church in his career.
In the "Ovi's Church" created by Van Gogh in June 1890, the dark blue sky is heavily pressed to the ground. The composition of the light-colored ground in the shape of a V coincides with each other. The mysterious and dark glass windows contrast with the bright outdoor colors. The rhythm of the lines seems stable, but there are undulating restlessness inside. This is a work full of contradictions and unity in all works by Van Gogh. It seems that he has already foreseen the wake-up call for his imminent death.
"Ovi’s Church" was painted about a month before his death. Using a unique brushwork of ups and downs, the sky is depicted as violently tossing like a deep sea. Because this church still stands in the same place until now. Therefore, it is the object that Van Gogh portrayed back then. There seems to be no doubt. However, from the back of the woman walking on the road at the bottom left of the screen. Judging by the hat on her head, it should be the clothing of Holland, the birthplace of Van Gogh. Van Gogh is a painter who rarely paints imaginary things out of thin air. At least. Before coming to Ovie. With death approaching, I began to draw with imagination. Does Van Gogh let his mind float to his hometown far away while painting the day?
