Vincent van Gogh

Irises

US$ 654.00

A bed of irises fills the frame, every flower distinct, one white bloom standing apart from the mass of violet-blue. Van Gogh drew each plant in outline first, in the manner of the Japanese prints he collected, then flooded the shapes with colour. There is no horizon and no sky — the picture is entirely about the density of growing things.

Artist

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) painted this in the first week after admitting himself to the asylum at Saint-Remy, working in the walled garden and calling the painting a lightning conductor for his illness. He completed roughly 130 works in the year he spent there. His brother Theo submitted it to the Salon des Independants that September.
