Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' in Domino's!

Flippycat recreated Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' with domino's'. It's pretty amazing, the way the domino's splay out when they're knocked over really look like Van Gogh's swirly strokes! I can't even imagine the kind of patience creating something like this would take, considering how many times the domino's are accidentally knocked over!

Flippycat also recreated the "Mona Lisa" or rather the "Domona Lisa" in 2007

Episode 010: Van Gogh and the Ear Incident

In this episode, Kenna and Marie talk about Van Gogh: the man he was, and the legend we've made him out to be.

Potato Eaters

Potato Eaters is one of Van Gogh's earliest works. He was interested most in the everyday person, but the critics didn't like the images that came during this time. Van Gogh decided after this time to receive more training.

Self Portrait

 Throughout his relatively short career as an artist, Van Gogh painted many self portraits, making himself a subject as much as anything else. This one was done before he lost his ear.

Starry Night

Night Cafe

Starry Night and The Night Cafe are two great examples of Van Gogh's most well known work--the work he created while struggling with his mental stability. Starry Night was actually painted while looking out the window of his room at the asylum where he was being treated.

Sunflowers

Irises

Van Gogh loved to paint en plair or on location and in nature. You can find Irises at the Getty Museum in Los Angles, California. Keep a lookout for our upcoming video about Arts and Facts visit to the Getty this last November!
