THE POTATO EATERS
The Potato Eaters, completed in 1885, is considered by many to be Van Gogh’s first great work of art.
Van Gogh wished to create his first masterpiece that could boost his reputation as a developed artist; his goal was to paint **human figures **that did not appear to be awkward, but rather existing naturally.
The painting consisted of **5 figures** sitting around a **square table** **eating potatoes**; four of them are females and one male. Although the piece is laced in darkness, the **mixed emotions** residing in the faces of the occupants shine out brightly. These figures are so intense that one can nearly hear the conversations being spoken around the table. Perhaps this vibrancy layered with the darkness is what draws one closer to examine the smaller details of the painting :-
- The rafter boards in the back of the piece.
- The soft gentle lines forming a window in the darkness.
- The picture frame hung on a darkened wall.
- The large platter of potatoes, and the boney fingers stretched out to obtain them.
- The woman pouring a brew similar to coffee.
- The large rectangular column behind the table that seems to hold the building up.
- The weathered edges of the table.
Never the less The Potato Eaters failed to become the painting he had set his mind to. It was not successful in his life time, nor was it displayed in Salon as Gogh had requested. Today the piece has reached great heights in the artistic community as well as being considered his first masterpiece, which is what he had intended it to be.
