Van Gogh Style Painting

1. Museum / Artsy Style

Museums often use elliptical language:

• Van Gogh painting, 1889
• Egyptian burial mask, 15th century BCE
• Impressionist landscape, oil on canvas

➡ “It’s you in Van Gogh painting style” feels like this style.

2. Natural Spoken Style

• It’s you in Van Gogh’s painting style.
• It’s you in the style of a Van Gogh painting.
• It’s you, like a Van Gogh painting.

➡ Smoother for everyday speech.

3. Grammar Rule

Bare noun stacks work for concrete objects:

• “of” phrase → the style of Van Gogh
