This week as per option one I will be discussing the starry night as depicted by Van Gogh and Anne Sexton.

There is also a town that looks lit up by the lights of the people and homes in it (MoMA, 2022). There is a very gloomy feeling to the artwork that feels surreal and whimsical.…….please click the icon below to access entire solution at $5
