Skull 1887 van Gogh

This piece caught my attention because it appears as if the skull is emerging out of the photo towards the viewer. The bright background in combination with the dark colors used for the skull give this appearance. I enjoyed the harsh, streaky lines in this piece with the smooth outer line of the skull, together they clash to make the piece standout. I also like this piece because it makes me wonder if he was drawing a view of himself or how he viewed death, harsh. Overall I enjoy this piece with the bright yellow against the otherwise plain background.
