Van gogh's Cafe Terrace At Night Jigsaw Puzzle

This painting of colourful outdoor view is a picturesque work, the vision of a relaxed spectator who enjoys the charm of his surrounding without any moral concern. The colour is more profuse and the eye wanders along the steeped or dove-tailed edges of neighbouring areas - irregular shapes fitted to each other like a jigsaw puzzle design. The yellow of the cafe plays against the blue-black of the remote street and the violet-blue of the foreground door, and, by a paradox of composition that helps to unify the work, at the strongest point of contrast the awning's sharp corner nearest to us touches the remote blue sky. Solving puzzles helps reinforce existing connections between our brain cells. It also increases the generation of new relationships. This, in turn, improves mental speed and thought processes. Jigsaw puzzles are especially good for improving short-term memory.
