Describe how the feeling of emptiness is shown in Van Gogh’s “The Night Cafe”
Why did van Gogh use red and green in the Night Cafe?
The white clothes of the landlord, watchful in a corner of that furnace, turn lemon-yellow, or pale luminous green. The color relationships that van Gogh describes, between the greens and reds, et cetera, create the illusion of vibration and dissonance within the space.
What is the psychology of color in the painting The Night Cafe?
He explains to his brother Theo, in a letter, that he uses the red and green in an attempt to express the terrible passions of human nature. The use of these colors helps to illustrate the intensity of the Café de la Gare and provoke the emotions of the viewer who may relate the bar scene to alcoholism or depression.
