I had looked a poster of van Gogh's Cafe Terrace at Night for eight years. It's really peaceful and nice. Full of the cool night feeling.
Then in one evening I noticed for the first time the yellow character in the middle of the painting. It was like a ghost, who was there suddenly and didn't belong there. It didn't really fit in the picture with the nearby tables.
And there was also this another character, which was opposite of this yellow person. It was completely dark and it was intimidating and made me suddenly feel uncomfortable. It was like this too characters were dueling, looking at each other and trying to win.
There were no mentions or analysis of this in the Internet so that I could have found, even if these characters felt so important to me. It was like van Gogh could have meant that these dueling characters really represent something. They aren't really humans, they are light and darkness. Representing all the bad and terrible inside the cafe and light, though it's eerie, on the outside. What is going on there?
What do you think?
