Best Answer

Van Gogh was struggling, as all artists do, with a particular area of artistic achievement. In this case, he was trying to capture a simplicity, a power, and perhaps a message, from the natural world. This is something he perceived within the scene of that starry night reflecting in the river, and he wished to make it plain for others to see, as well. He was applying "the end justifies the means," and if that meant a simplistic, surrealistic, even garish piece of art work, it didn't matter as long as his message was conveyed successfully.

What are autographic lines?

It's a term used in art to suggest a signature style of line. Sort of like an autograph is a signature of a person and helps identify them, an autographic line is a signature of their work and helps identify it as theirs. For example, short, free, expressive brush strokes were a signature of Vincent Van Gogh's paintings (think The Starry Night). Thus, this type of line was autographic for Van Gogh. Similarly, Rembrandt's autographic line was a short, straight, thin line used as hash mark shading in works like The Three Crosses.
