Vincent van Gogh drew thousands of images to better his style. He believed that drawing was "the root of everythingrdquo;.In just over a decade; he produced more than 2100 artworks; consisting of 860 oil paintings and more than 1;300 watercolors; drawings; sketches and prints. He produced nearly 150 watercolor paintings during his life. Similar to his drawings; Van Gogh often did watercolors as studies before doing an oil painting or as practice. As he continued to refine his technique; he used more and brighter colors in his watercolors. Though often they are far away from his bold brush strokes; the Van Goghs watercolors are a unique in their use of clear and vibrant colors.

Not exactly pleasantly surprised but the fact that these two plays of his are about socioeconomics was unexpected yet refreshing. Also; there are no silly; impossibly romantic conclusions. On the contrary; as Shaw himself sets out to explain at the end of Pygmalion.This is a tendency of his: explaining himself; as he does not only at the end of Pygmalion (where he doesnt exactly finish the play but goes on to write a sort of essay about what happened to Eliza and Higgins afterwards) but also in a heavy diatribe against the social organization of the world in a long preface to Major Barbara. I found this very strange and unflattering about him; because; really; if you cant say it in your play; why say it at all?He was an acerbic critic of his critics and wasted a lot of ink exposing himself on the subject. Case in point: "[I am driven] to help my critics out with Major Barbara by telling them what to say about it". (Sheez).Ill say this about him: hes no hypocrite when it comes to money (though his view that poverty is the root of all evil and money a panacea is alarming).He has very modern ideas about the real power behind everything: the plutocracies of the world. If that was true for him in 1906; imagine how things must look like now.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Best Classic Kindle Edition of Major Barbara on !By D.
