Are you able to appreciate a painting "The Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh?
I consider the painting to be about how, in our human world, we are all one. There is only one of us. We are like cells within a body. A single cell cannot survive on its own because it has no brain or sensory organs with which to perceive and interact with the outside world.
A human brain is the collective of all cells working together. The painting shows us how we are all connected and that there is no separation between ourselves. We are a hive society, a single entity which we call humanity.
It is also a political statement about how we have authority figures such as kings, governments and churches that control us without our knowledge. We are like bees in a hive where the queen bee controls all of us.
The painting also shows us how we are all alone. There is no God, no afterlife and no other person like you. We are unique individuals who live in isolation.
All of these ideas are important. I do not feel that this painting is my favorite however. It does show a lot of thought and insight though.
That is my opinion on the topic of this painting. I do not feel that it has a place in art history, as art does not always need to be about politics and philosophy.
