The comparison and contrast of how the artist Van Gogh uses colour in his work "Night Cafe" and Gauguin's use of color in his work "Cafe at Arles" is:
- They both show cafes, with the use of bright colours showing a lively atmosphere in Van Gogh's painting and the use of yellow background and an empty cafe showing loneliness and emptiness.
When creating works of art, the use of colour is very important to artists as they are used to create depth in their painting and to also show the mood of a person, setting or make a description of a scene.
With this in mind, we can see that the similar thing about the two paintings is that they are made in cafes and while Van Gogh shows people in a cafe in a happy and talkative mood with the subject in one side in contemplation, Gauguin shows an empty cafe and uses predominantly yellow colour as both foreground and background to show a feeling of emptiness and loneliness.
