Van Gogh and Henri Matisse

We have been asked to compare the art of Van Gogh and Henri Matisse. Vincent Van Goghs style is dark colours and light colours. Henri Matisses style is about bright colours.  Van Gogh cut his ear off and sent it to his girlfriend.

In Sunflowers Vincent Van Gogh has used three or four colours. He used yellow, orange, red, green and brown.  The painting has lots of sunflowers. The main colours that he used was brown and yellow. I like this painting because he used a lot of detail in his painting.  Van Gogh liked to paint because he was talented at his work.

In La Musique, it is a painting of two women. One of the women is playing a guitar and the other woman is watching her. Matisse used yellow, orange, green, black, blue, and red. It looks simple because it isn’t really realistic.

Both the paintings are different. There’s different colours and different details. There are also petals in Van Goghs painting.There are also more details and different kind of techniques. Henri Matisse has more colour then Vincent Van Gogh. Yellow was used in both paintings. There is also some green and black in both.
