Vincent Van Gogh’s strength as an artist comes from both the relationships with the people that he is close with and the connection that he has to the common man as shown in his many paintings of friends‚ family‚ and strangers‚ and the techniques that he has incorporated into them‚ learned from his many artist acquaintances.

The image I chose is Man‚ Controller of the Universe‚ created by Diego Rivera in 1934. It was a remake of a piece he did for the Rockefellers to be viewed in their RCA building.

It also had Lenin holding together the hands of people of various race. This is also thought to be at the heart of the controversy. Although Nelson Rockefeller paid Rivera in

Vincent Van Gogh was a casual‚ yet wonderful artist. He captured many beautiful and realistic scenes in his art such as people‚ man-made objects‚ and natural materials. He also created many self-portraits. His work seemed very detailed to me because of his various pencil and brush strokes with both his drawings and paintings.
