“I
want the word where it ends and begins. Dada is the heart of words.”
It is sound like
apocalyptic, the destruction all things good and bad of humanity. According to
the Bible, God destroyed the world that he had made due to human bad behavior.
The author prefers a new beginning of a better society, freedom and meaning of
life. The author was seeking for Self-purification, and perhaps the only way is
the ends of the world. Maybe he wants to create his own world, with his own
belief by expressed emotions in a different way. I decided to choose this quote
because “Dada” sounds like the word daddy, likes the first thing that babies
said. Humanity born with innocence and their soul is transparent. I think that
the author is tired of this world; a world full of evil, and wars, corruption,
and malice.
I think the quote “I want the word where it ends and
begins. Dada is the heart of words” related to the present. We live in societies
with lot judgments of what are right or wrong. Places were trusting are lost
and cruelty is gain power every day.
1-Post-Impressionism:
Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh was
born in 1853, in Groot Zundert, Netherlands. He is one of the greater artists
from 19th, who create wonderful, emotional and color pieces. His
father was a minister and his mother was a moody artist. I think, Gogh mother
influence him with her ability of drawing during his childhood. He had a
brother who died one year before Vincent born. Due to the family financial
crisis, at the age of 15 he was forced to leave school and begin to work. He
learns multiples languages such as French, German and English. In London, he
began to visited arts galleries and fall in love with English cultural.
Unfortunately, he also falls in love with Eugenie Loyer, who breaks his heart. Therefore,
he became angry and put all his emotions in the bible. The bible was like to
escape, later he devoted his life to God. He never has good luck with love and
always falls in love with problematic women. His entire piece was a way to
express his inner feelings.Vincent died at the age of 37 in France; he shot
himself in the chest and died in the hand of his brother.
2-"The Starry Night”, 1889
3-Every
time I see this piece, it remained when Vincent Van Gogh cut his own ear.
However, some people said he lost the ear in a fight with his friend. In this
piece you can observe the expression of his feelings. The symbol, style, and
colors show angry and sadness. For example; the dark colors give a sense of
depression, the wind and ocean looks angry. You can see the moon; the represent
night, but the same time, is yellow like the sun. There are eleven stars but, I
don’t know the meaning of eleven stars. This piece show beauty,
but at the same time is a mystery.
Vincent romantic relations affects his painted all
endings in failure. He became an isolated person and expresses all his emotional
problems in his painted. The “Starry Night” shows depression and are similar to
nihilistic themes. “Nihilistic belief that life has no value or meaning, has no
loyalties, only impulse to destroy” ( www.iep.utm.edu/nihilism/Internet Encyclopedia
of Philosophy). Basically Nihilistic is similar to the Starry Night because it shows
the wind, which can represent destruction. This piece might represent Vincent
own destruction. He wanted the people understand his
message through the arts.
