"Starry Night" is one of the most famous paintings by Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. The painting represents what Van Gogh could see and extrapolate from the room he occupied in the asylum of the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole monastery in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in May 1889. Often touted as one of the artist's masterpieces, the painting has now been housed at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City since 1941.
For the painter, "the night is much more alive and richly colored than the day". Thus, this work is based on the direct observations of Van Gogh and on his imagination, memories, and emotions.
Almost a hundred years after Van Gogh made one of his masterpieces, Arman decided to make a series called "Starry Nights". It was for him a return to basics, an exercise in style, the emergence of a will and discipline. Dazzled at a young age by Van Gogh's work, the artist never shied away from this influence. Arman also signs his works with his first name in homage to Van Gogh. Thus, Arman chose between different masterpieces of the Dutch artist "Starry Night" to realize this series of tribute works.

Arman
Arman was born in Nice, France, in 1928, and showed a talent for painting and drawing as a child. He studied at the the Ecole Nationale des Art Décoratifs in Nice followed by studies at the École du Louvre in Paris. In his early years he focused on abstract paintings. Then, in 1957, he became interested in common objects as works of art. He first did what came to be called his "allures d"objet" (object impressions), where he would dip an object into paint and press it on canvas thus leaving the object's shadow or impression. Then he decided the object itself was worth paying attention to and started to treat them in his own way. His intention was to remove the material purpose of an object so that its only remaining function was to "feed the mind" as a work of art. What better way to achieve that result than by breaking, slicing or even burning objects such as violins, telephones, typewriters or even whole cars? He also made objects useless by accumulating them, such as 2,000 wristwatches in a Plexiglass box that all kept different time. Once emotionally detached from the circumstances associated with a broken object, the viewer could grow to appreciate its abstract beauty; so, in a sense, Arman was literally teaching that things one never thought could be regarded as attractive could indeed turn out to be so. Through this achievement, Arman gained worldwide recognition and is regarded as one of the most prolific and inventive creators of the late 20th century. His work can be found in the collections of numerous museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Tate Gallery in London and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Arman’s work has also been exhibited in galleries, museums and public spaces worldwide including the Musée D’Art Contemporain in Tehran, Iran; the Museum of Art in Tel Aviv, Israel; the Musée Des Arts Decoratifs and Opéra De Paris in France; the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art in California; and the Museum of Arts and Design and the Guggenheim in New York He died in 2005 in New York.
