“I think it was the very first painting where it’s title is the background. Think about that. There’s a town there, there’s a Cypress tree, there’s a church steeple. It could have been called The Cypress Tree. It could have been called Sleepy Village. It could have been called Rolling Hills. But no, it’s called Starry Night and everything in front of it is just in the way. How often do you paint something where the title is the background?” – Neil deGrasse Tyson in an interview with Joe Rogan
