"The Starry Night" is easily Vincent van Gogh's most famous and well known painting. I recently found a website where you can zoom into the details of this particular painting. If you look closely at the painting on the link I provided, you can see many places of where the canvas is exposed. They are just small little places, but there's a lot of them, and because I've never seen this painting in real life, I never realized this about van Gogh's style.
His style is particularly unique with his wide brush strokes. I've always particularly liked how effortlessly it looked to create. What does it say about artists who can paint wonderful masterpieces, such as this, effortlessly? I've seen other paintings that were beautiful, but they took hours upon hours to complete. The precision is perfect in them is perfect. Does it have to be perfect? Are the artists who spend less time on their works better? I don't think so. I think the different styles that the artists of the world provide are all valuable. For some, art just comes to them more easily.
