Morandi vs. Van Gogh; Color

Giorgi Morandi makes paintings of bottles using unsaturated colors. Van Gogh on the other hand makes paintings of flowers using vibrant saturated colors. Morandi's paintings consist of man made objects, where as Van Gogh's paintings deal with nature.


Van Gogh really cares about preserving nature. He makes people aware of what happens to flowers when they are kept inside; they begin to wilt and die. On the contrary, Morandi focuses on the forms of bottles. It isn't really clear what he wants people to take away from his paintings.
