I am not too familiar with famous art pieces or artists, so I had to go online to look up some pieces. I searched famous art pieces and I found this piece by Vincent Van Gogh called a starry night. I know there are different interpretations of this art piece, but I will give my own opinion of it.
The many stars in the sky can light up the world in mysterious ways, giving us a sense of hope. But when there is hope, there is also doubt. The towering black plant looking thing represents the doubt and the evil in this world. Another way that I see it is that everything looks dreamy and bright because it is being compared to the dark plant. The "beautiful" in this world are made more "beautiful" because of the "ugliness" in this world. People in this world only want more because we compare. We only recognize "beauty" because we see some people as "ugly."
Sure, Van Gogh was in the mental asylum when he painted this but just because you are insane doesn't mean you are stupid. His painting here shows so much that the interpretations of it could be unlimited. In a way, he was a philosopher of his own.
