Van Gogh's Starry Sky is well known. What does he want to express?
I think Van Gogh's Starry Sky wants to express the following points:

0 1, the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of human beings. This painting by Van Gogh can be said to be ultra-abstract, whether in the use of color or in the temple fair of objects. But the whole will show the size of the starry sky, accounting for two-thirds of this work. The huge starry sky makes people feel quite shocked at first sight. And this starry sky represents the vast universe. In contrast, even trees and churches are small, let alone people. These layouts clearly show the vastness of the universe and the smallness of human beings.

02. Man's Resistance to Fate In this work, the trees at the top of the tower and under the church are struggling to climb up, trying to go higher. I think van Gogh wanted to show people's resistance to fate through this. Trees and churches represent people, and the starry sky represents fate.

Although they are small and powerless, they still don't give up and still challenge their fate, which shows me their fearlessness and strength. And those stars are like hope, attracting those cypresses and inspiring them not to give up resistance.

His inner pain is not understood. When he finished this work, Van Gogh was put in a mental hospital as a mental illness. He must be very depressed. No one can understand his behavior and his paintings. As we all know, Van Gogh and his paintings became famous only after his death. Before that, no one appreciated his paintings and no one was willing to buy them. In the starry sky, dark colors will make people feel heavy.

Starry Sky is Van Gogh's fantasy work, which is created in fantasy, so his subjective color is particularly strong. I think this may be Van Gogh's inner world. He felt depressed but still didn't give up. He was still trying to fight against fate and not bow to it.
