The
emotion of "Dr. Paul Gachet"
The artist Van
Gogh likes to use two opposite colors to represent his emotion of his
paintings. In Vincent Van Gogh's painting "Dr. Paul Gachet", the
dominant hue of the painting shows people the artist's sorrow and blue emotion.
In the
painting, there is an old man, which is Dr. Pail Gachet is sitting behind the
red table and using one of his hands to brace his up. His eyes seem glazed and
hopeless. There is something bright leaking out of his eyes and that might be his
tear. The wrinkles on his eyes can show he is a hoary and aged man. He is
looking somewhere else instead of looking at the artist. This increases the
sorrow in the painting. The background color of this painting is blue and there
is a bit of bright red in the foreground of the painting, which is the color of
the table. The sorrow emotion is pretty obvious in this painting since the
color of the old man’s jacket is even blue. The contrast of the two colors even
increases the depressed feeling the artist wants to express.
