Interior of a restaurant
The story
Pointillist Interior of a restaurant is one of Van Gogh ’s most pointillist works. Although he applies the stippling technique in his own distinctive manner. The tables and chairs are not rendered in dots, but in long brushstrokes. Moreover, he uses gradations of colour to suggest shadows, a practice from realism that is not consistent with pointillism. Carefully Exuberant bouquets adorn the tables laid with white tablecloths, like floral still lifes.
