"I have tried to express the terrible passions of humanity by means of red and green". Into this commonplace scene Van Gogh has put something of the drama he carried within himself.
The room contains only the standard inventory of a French provincial café. The excitement stems from the exaggerated perspective, the expansion of the empty central space, the shrunken size of the few figures (each group separate and withdrawn into himself); from the symbolic radiation of the oil lamps, and the deliberate, unrealistic contrast of yellow, red and green.
He wrote: "I have tried, as it were, to express the powers of darkness in a low drink shop, by soft Louis XV green and malachite, contrasting with yellow green and hard blue greens, and all this in an atmosphere like a devil’s furnace, of pale sulphur. And all this under an appearance of Japanese gaiety, and the good nature of Tartarin".
