The unexpected math behind Van Gogh's Starry Night - Natalya St. Clair

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Physicist Werner Heisenberg said, When I meet God, I am going to ask him two questions: why relativity? And why turbulence? I really believe he will have an answer for the first. As difficult as turbulence is to understand mathematically, we can use art to depict the way it looks. Natalya St. Clair illustrates how Van Gogh captured this deep mystery of movement, fluid and light in his work. Lesson by Natalya St. Clair

Van Gogh also seemed like a pretty sweet guy, aside from the ear mutilation, alcoholism and prostitutes. Theres this one painting, whos name I forget, that he made for his nephew when he was his nephew was born. Apparently almost everything we know about Van Goghs personal life is through his letters to his brother. His brother saved almost all his letters. I believe his brother inherited some of the letters he had sent Van Gogh after his death, and after he died too, Van Goghs sister-in-law(brothers wife) compiled them all together and published them.

This video gave me goosebumps. Van Gogh was a genius and the way he was treated by society for being so ahead of his time is saddening. Van Gogh was according to me one of the most beautiful souls to ever have lived and he deserved so much better than what he got.

I think that because his ear was cut off. Somehow a lot of blood full of oxygen went to his brain and it allowed him to access more of his brain which made his vision and senses more sharp and strong.

Yes i major in art I know about optical mixing but I thought this was smthg else smh my teacher was able to define optical mixing with a few words not a four and a half long minute video
reply

Those wavy patterns were never Stars except for the few bright spots. everything else was wind and motion. not light. this whole video is pretty much false.
reply

And now i know why i draw this never ending circular pattern in absentmindedness all the time. Always saw van gogh work and loved it but never new why!

I would be very grateful to you if you would tell me which animation technique you used to make this video. In particular the moving clouds & stars.
reply

I am not at all surprised that Van Gogh could depict turbulence but that guy invented/discovered the Math behind it, I also love his brain very much!
reply

It's likelier that this 'artist' got these swirls from the works of Hieronymus Bosch
Then, whence would he have got them?

reply

So basically, a turbulent mind discovered turbulence and portrayed it.
He was different. too different for this world.
