STYLE
Pictures reflected the color and drawing style of van Gogh
Used large blocks of Mediterranean color (high keyed yellows, reds, and bright blues)
SUBJECTIVE COLOR
Color is used here as a trigger to emotion – to shock and jar
It is an abstraction of color, for the similar use as we have seen abstraction of the figure
