Morandi vs. Van Gogh
The artists' choice in color in these paintings are affected a lot bythe object in the picture and the mood of the picture. Giorgio Morandi's picture has more dull colors and less interesting objects, but is filled with a lot of highlights and shadows which brings the objects to life. In Van Gogh's paintings, the flowers are bloomed and colorful and are more focused on texture and detail rather than having a three dimensional effect. The color palette influences the subject matter because the flowers in Van Gogh's paintings are beautiful colors and show that the flower is blooming. You can tell that the flower has life and is a living organism. The objects in Giorgio Morandi's paintings are less lively colors to show that the objects are not living things, and are just 3-d objects sitting next to each other with different lights hitting them in different ways.

you have made very valid points about the 3-d vs 2-d
i agree about how the detail of the flowers being compared to the three dimensional effect, it feels more natural.
i agree with what you said about the colors being more dull because they were simple objects and not living things
