Van Gogh, The Night Café at Arles, 1888 as a decoration of the Yellow House very high pitch of emotions strange interiors twisted subjects-night café for people who do not have many to pay the hotel or too drunkthe terrible passions-the red and green, violet and blue-the power of darkness-go mad/ to commit a crime, diabolical the exaggerated palette-Gauguin's vision-similar colors, but very different moods.
