"What's wrong?"
Koizumi Katsuko tilted her head and asked back.
"Van Gogh is a Post-Impressionist artist; Post-Impressionism places more emphasis on the artist's subjective perception of the painting subject. Van Gogh's painting style is a result of his tragic and fateful life along with his madness. But the emotional style of this painting is not similar."
"Emotional style?"
Koizumi Katsuko frowned lightly.
"The two have similar painting styles, but the emotions they contain are different. Van Gogh's works are characterized by night-time frenzy and hallucination, while the 'Old Church on a Stormy Day' is grand and passionate during a stormy day."
"Shengzi, think back to your intuitive feelings towards the works of these two artists. Do you really feel that they have the same emotions?"
Koizumi Katsuko bit her lower lip lightly, falling into thought.
No, they're not the same.
