Undergrowth with Two Figures
If you could ask Vincent van Gogh what he accomplished in his lifetime he would probably say not much. But we know now that van Gogh gave the world a gift. He is now one of the most recognized painters of all time for his exquisite masterpieces that went somewhat unrecognized in his time. They are now and will forever be considered fine works of art.
According to Encyclopedia Britannica Online, Vincent van Gogh painted over 800 paintings and sketched over 700 drawings in his troubled life ( par. 18). Undergrowth with Two Figures was finished in France Jun 1890 and was one of the last paintings van Gogh completed before he ended his own life the following month. It was painted with oil based paints on a canvas medium. It is a medium size with dimensions of 19 1/2 x 39 1/4 in. Undergrowth with Two Figures is located in gallery 227 at the Cincinnati Art Museum in the 19th and 20th century European art section. It has an accession number of 1967.1430. It is positioned right next to two entrance ways leading into other galleries in a brightly lit room so you are certain to observe it upon departure of that space. There are no windows in the room probably intended that way to protect the art. It has been singled out on a large wall all on its own perhaps because it is such a fine piece. It has three lights intended specifically for it, where on adjacent walls there are several pieces of artwork; maybe five or six per wall, with only five lights for all of them. When you look at this painting there is nothing obstructing your view of it. There is also nothing entering into you periphery when viewing it except two doorways five or six feet on either side of it. There is one bench in the center of the room. It is not facing van Gogh’s work, but if you get tired of standing while viewing it you can sit on the edge of the bench and sill see an unobstructed view of the work.
Vincent Van Gogh uses lines and colors as the most key visual elements in Undergrowth with Two Figures. Many dark colors are used to execute the organic lines used in this sad and lonely painting. What looks like quick dashes of pastel colors make up most of the painting including the flowers and the two figures trapped in the work. The lavender trees in the painting consist of natural vertical unbroken lines, and the grass and flowers are angled lines. The trees and the lack of a path give the impression that the subjects are captive in the painting. The horizon is dark and obstructed by trees and high underbrush.
