POSTIMPRESIONISM 

---->Terrace of coffee in the night:

The picture represents the environment in a terrace of a coffee one night of 1888, coffee that at the time was called A Coffee Terrace, later it was re-baptized as Coffee Gogh Goes, and he is placed in the square of the Forum, in Arles (France). To part of the characteristic outlines of They Go Gogh, the most prominent of the picture is the treatment of the perspective based on reducing the lighting from the principal area of light, which is the terrace, towards the buildings most removed from the street, which work out dark; the contrast of cold colors (the blue - gris-marino of the cobbles, the sky, the houses, etc.) and warm colors centred on the terrace, another place of the corner of faces, and slighter in windows and you star (orange - amarillo-lima), and over all of them, though very finely, the white.

This one was the first picture in which Gogh Goes decided to do the night. After " Terrace of coffee in the night ", they would come " Night starred on the " and Rhone " The starry night ", both very known. Vincent van Gogh was one of the maximum exponents of the postimpresionism, together with Cézanne, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec or Munch. As in the music, in painting this movement was characterized because it was not a question of catching the object of a clear way, but to transmitting the sensations that the object was causing in the painter, generally across short outlines and the use of a chromatic very wide range.
