spaulding says "all suggest that people have a sensed the presence of a long interlocking spiral at the heart of existence; michelangelo used this in the form in his depiction of god dividing light from darkness as did van gogh in his inspired rendering of a spiral galactic wind which he could never have seen. such an interlocking spiral has now been discovered in the structure of DNA" spauldings interpretation of the work is explaining how he feels that the swirling and turning void in space is linked to our DNA and he thinks somehow van goh knew this. spaulding quotes van goh
"van goh pondered, in his literal but wonderful way: "why should the shining dots of the sky not be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France? if we take a train to get to tarascon or rouen, we take death to reach the stars"
this quote from van goh gives me the impression that he saw that stars are more than just shinning dots dazzling in the night sky there whole knew mystiorus places waiting to be explored and can only be done when our time is up.
my personal opion is that i absolutely love the painting. this is one my favorite paintings and has been for a wile now. all of the swirling colours in the night sky above the dormant town, it leads you to think that there is more going on at night time than we think and a whole new world comes to show its face when the sun goes down and at the same time we dont have a clue what is going on. the dark and light blue colours give it such a mysterious feel about it and the dark figure of the left is a mysterious as well is it a tree or is it a tower you just dont know. night time is my favorite time of the day because people flock to there little shelters to keep safe from the dark unknown and this picture portrays this perfectly with the small house and th huge dark unknown
