I chose Vincent Van Gogh's painting "The Starry Night" because it seems whimsical and airy. This has such a unique style that's synonymous with Van Gogh. The mood is quite and sleepy with the empty village below and bright stars and moon overhead. The main reason I like this piece of art is the contrasting colors and the thought of what made him alter the night sky the way he did.
This has a connection with Manet and his works because its a portrait of the landscape and isn't literal or perfect. The sky obviously contains stars, but they aren't traditional. Van Gogh also uses his own personal brushstroke, which is long, bold, and blends on its own. I'm sure Manet played a part in the creation of this piece because of his concepts and involvement in modern art then and now.
