Exercise 27. Read the article and retell it.

“BEDROOM IN ARLES” BY VINCENT VAN GOGH

This is a reproduction of a picture by the well-known Dutch painter Van Gogh. We see an empty room. There is little furniture in it. The furniture is simple and modest.

On the right there is a wooden bed. In the background there is a small dressing-table near the window. On the left there is a door. There is another door on the other side of the room. On the walls there are some paintings and drawings — a few portraits and a landscape. To the left of the window there is a square mirror. There are some clothes on the right. There is a chair between the table and the bed and another chair near the door. There is no carpet on the floor and there are no curtains on the window.

Colour is the main expressive element here. Thanks to colour perspective in combination with linear perspective there is an impression of space. The colours are bright. There are no shadows; the image is flat like in Japanese prints. Thanks to such colour treatment there is an atmosphere of rest. The walls are light violet. The floor is of red squares. The bed and the chairs are bright yellow like fresh butter. The bed-sheets and the pillows are lemon-green. The blanket is scarlet.
