When comparing the lines in the Vincent Van Gogh’s The Starry Night painting and Sol LeWitt’s the Wall Drawing No. 681, the lines are the opposite. In the Starry Night painting the lines of the sky are very curvy and flowing, but the lines of the buildings are very straight. The artist in this painting is showing you a vision he has had during the time he was in the asylum.

The artist is fighting with himself, and it shows in the painting. The Wall Drawing No.681 shows very straight and precise lines. The artist is feeling very controlled as he painted the piece.

As you examine each of the characters of the painting, you notice subtle differences. All of the figures, not including the Princess and the Maids, appear to be shaded darker.

The Nighthawks by Edward Hopper shows you the inside of a dinner. The use of color gives the dinner a since of warmth, but coldness at the same time. The buildings outside of the dinner are very dark, lonely, and deserted. The buildings feel very cold. Inside you will notice the people. The dinner worker is surrounded by a dark counter. He feels very much separated from the other dinners. You see that he is only a worker and a stranger, but the use of color shows him as friendly. The other dinners there show very lonely faces, and very dark clothing. They seem to be unfriendly. No one is looking at each other. You can tell from their focus and body language that is no relationship between any of them. They feel very lonely. The dinner is sparsely decorated.

Everything is cold and lonely.
