Vincent Van Gogh Three Sunflowers In A Vase
Vincent Van Gogh Three Sunflowers In A Vase (1888)
Sunflowers (original title in French: Tournesols) are the subject of two series of still life paintings by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. The earlier series executed in Paris in 1887 depicts the flowers lying on the ground, while the second set executed a year later in Arles shows bouquets of sunflowers in a vase. In the artist’s mind both sets were linked by the name of his friend Paul Gauguin, who acquired two of the Paris versions. About eight months later Van Gogh hoped to welcome and to impress Gauguin again with Sunflowers, now part of the painted decoration that he prepared for the guestroom of his Yellow House, where Gauguin was supposed to stay in Arles. After Gauguin’s departure, Van Gogh imagined the two major versions as wings of the Berceuse Triptych, and finally he included them in his exhibit at Les XX in Bruxelles.

Vincent Van Gogh Irises
Vincent Van Gogh Irises (1889)
Irises is one of many paintings of irises by the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. Like many artists of his time Van Gogh was influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints. The strong outlines, unusual angles, including close-up views, is a typical element of Japanese woodblock prints which helped to inforce the expressive power of the painting.

A beautiful Art Nouveau Lady. Alphonse Mucha’s famous Art Nouveau poster “Zodiac,” also known as “La Plume.”was designed in 1896 as a calendar printed by F. Champenois, Paris. Shortly thereafter, the popular French Magazine “La Plume” purchased the rights to distribute it as the magazine’s calendar for 1897. The image was widely popular, and it became synonymous with the magazine.
Vincent Van Gogh Vase With Pink Roses
Vincent Van Gogh Vase With Pink Roses (1890)
Vase with Pink Roses was painted in 1890 by Vincent van Gogh in Saint-Remy. At the time Van Gogh was readying himself to leave the Saint-Remy asylum for the quiet town of Auvers-sur-Oise outside of Paris. The still life reflects the optimism Van Gogh felt at that time about his future, both in his choice of flowers as a subject and the colors used.
