The painting "Van Gogh's Chair" amazes the viewer with the unusual composition. It would seem: an interior detail. But the image does not carry an exclusively interior load. In this case, we can say that Van Gogh positions the chair from the point of view of the central character of the picture, as if spiritualizing it.

The artist did not just use this piece of furniture in the picture. In fact, what is a chair for you? You do not think about its significance in everyday life. However, it is the chair that is of great benefit. A chair is a support for everyone, we sit down on it and do not feel tension in our legs. We rest on a chair.

Of course, there can be a great many variations of this element of furniture. But whatever the modification, its basis is always the same - a seat, a back, four legs.

Vincent van Gogh painted this painting inspired by a painting called The Empty Chair. It was after thinking about the meaning of this subject that he ultimately decided to make it the center of the composition and embody it in impressionism.
Beneath this subject lies Van Gogh's complex and serious reflections on the place of man in life. What did the empty chair mean to him? If the chair is empty, then someone has vacated it. He served as a support and support for a person, but if there is no person, why do you need a chair?
An empty chair is a symbol of death for Van Gogh. This means that the person will no longer need this chair. That its support function has already outlived its usefulness. It has become meaningless, exactly as meaningless as hundreds of other things that have the essence only of helping a person and nothing more.
