Café Terrace by Vincent Van Gogh Tissue Paper

This painting of a colourful outdoor view is a picturesque work, the vision of a relaxed spectator who enjoys the charm of his surrounding without any concern. It recalls Van Gogh's mood when he wrote that "the night is more alive and more richly coloured than the day." The yellow of the cafe plays against the blue-black of the remote street and the violet-blue of the foreground door, and, by a paradox of composition that helps to unify the work, at the strongest point of contrast the awning corner nearest to us touches the remote blue sky. The most eye-catching aspect of the painting is the sharp contrast between the warm yellow, green and orange colours under the marquise and the deep blue of the starry sky, which is reinforced by the dark blue of the houses in the background.
