Vincent Van Gogh (1853 - 1890)
 |
Vincent Van Gogh, The Night Café, 1888
|
… the picture is one of the ugliest I
have done… I have tried to express the terrible passions of humanity by means
of red and green. The room is blood red and dark yellow with a green billiard
table in the middle; there are four lemon-yellow lamps with a glow of orange
and green. Everywhere there is a clash and contrast of the most alien reds and
greens… in violet and blue. The blood-red and the yellow-green of the billiard
table, for instance, contrast with the soft tender Louis XV green of the counter,
on which there is a rose nosegay. The white clothes of the landlord, watchful
in a corner of that furnace, turn lemon-yellow, or pale luminous green.
