"The Night Café" | By Vincent Van Gogh

$49.95

Van Gogh called this painting “one of the ugliest I’ve done” ~ which, in artist-speak, means “emotionally nuclear.” He wanted to show the terrible passions of humanity, or as your cat would interpret it: “closing time for the litter box crowd.”

    • Artist: Vincent van Gogh

    • Year Painted: 1888

    • Location: Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut

    • Color Warfare: Van Gogh weaponized color — acidic green, bleeding red, mustard yellow — to make viewers feel the tension.

    • Setting: The real café was in Arles, near the Yellow House. Van Gogh painted it at night, under gaslight, probably muttering about the “souls of drunkards.”

    • Artistic Rivalry: He sent a sketch of it to Gauguin, who replied that he liked it “a little.” The cat translation: “meh.”

    🐾 Feline Twist: When your human says ‘last call,’ but you’ve still got nine lives and zero regrets.
