Colors of the Night

"It often seems to me that the night is much more alive and richly coloured than the day." (Vincent van Gogh, Arles, 8 September 1888)

 

Van Gogh and the Colors of the Night is a beautiful online exhibit from MoMA featuring works depicting night and twilight. (Above, The Sower, 1888, a twilight picture.) The exhibit includes commentary, audio clips, sketches, pages from Van Gogh's journals, and gorgeous web representations of the paintings.
