WHAT WAS THE ARTWORK ABOUT ?

The artwork was a compilation of the work of the Post-impressionist

artist, Vincent Van Gogh. The title of the video “The dreams of Van Gogh”

making reference to the quote of himself “I dream my paintings and then paint a dream.”

The artwork by Alejandro Delgado, from Morelia, Michoacan, is a window into

Van Gogh’s world, and how we can relate his paintings with his daily life, with

his mental disease.

POST-IMPRESSIONISM. 1886 TO 1914

Actually Post-impressionism wasn’t a formal movement. Post Impressionism was

the result of a few independent artist at the end of 19th century.

They were looking to break the Impressionism limitations. Each of the artist

involved developed a personal style, and that was the point of Post-

impressionism, that everyon has a different way to see the external beauty

by painting with a personal and emotional point of view, wich sets them

apart from impressionist painters.

Their styles were focused on the structural, the emotional, the symbolic and the

spiritual elements. All these elements they argued they were missing in the

Impressionist movement.
