I made my way to the fourth floor of this amazing facility, walking past the Richard Serra Exhibition and the other great works of art. I encountered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/ropa1.html\">Rothko\u2019s<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/picrep.html\">Picasso\u2019s<\/a>, Mondrian&#8217;s, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/gauguingallery.html\">Gauguin&#8217;s<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/cezannegallery1.html\">Cezanne&#8217;s<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/matissegallery.html\">Matisse&#8217;s<\/a>&#8230; the excitement grew even more as I began to see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/vangogrprod.html\">Van Gogh\u2019s<\/a> on the wall.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I wasn\u2019t the only visitor that day that came to see the Starry Night masterpiece. People where cramming in to get a glimpse of the artwork, two guards were assigned to keep people away from the glass and make sure no one tried anything stupid&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis morning I saw the country from my window a long time before sunrise,\u201d the artist wrote to his brother Theo, \u201cwith nothing but the morning star, which looked very big.\u201d Rooted in imagination and memory, the Starry Night embodies an inner, subjective expression of Van Gogh\u2019s response to nature.<\/p>\n<p>In thick sweeping brushstrokes, a flame like cypress unites the churning sky and the quiet village below. The village was partly invented, and the church spirit evokes Van Gogh\u2019s native land, the Netherlands. The simple Vienna gold frame is a testament of the great masterpiece.<\/p>\n<p>I felt truly grateful for that moment to unite with the Starry Night, I think that sensation would have been stronger if it wasn\u2019t for the crowd and the thick glass.
