"Dedication to Van Gogh" is a 1946 painting by Forrest Bess, an American artist known for his abstract and often biomorphic imagery. The artwork depicts a stylized landscape of undulating lines in black and green against an orange background. A single white cloud with a blue circle at its center sits above the field, suggesting the sky. This abstract composition may reference Van Gogh's famous "Starry Night," but Bess's work is characterized by its unique and personal symbolism, reflecting his deeply personal experiences and spiritual beliefs.
