Plato Looks to the Stars

Evaluating this piece of art is a waste of my time, but I can use it as a prime example of my main points in philosophy. Starry Night is so far from being beautiful or the ideal form because it is an imitation of an imitation. Not only is it that, it is an interpretive copy of a copy. There is absolutely no worth and no importance of this piece in the world. Van Gogh's brush strokes were inventive and completely new. That is one of the only almost beautiful things about this painting. If he had taken his new painting style and proceeded to teach it to younger artists then he would be an individual who I could hold in high regard.
