Vincent van gogh
1853-1890
Post-impression
Walking around the fields, dreaming under the stars, painting 864 paintings, 1037 sketches, 150 watercolor paintings and selling only one painting. In the arms of greenmus, the poor, unacknowledged life
Remember the opera dr. Mystery, which led van gogh through the paris osei museum in 2010, where the director said, "van gogh is the best, most popular, most respected painter in the world..."
Van gogh heard, cried like a child。
In the 1980s, in london, the van gogh's painting price was set at a high price of $39. 9 million, creating the highest record of the price of the ancient painting auction. The sunflower became a recognized world painting。
In his letter to his brother theo in 1888, van gogh said, "i want to paint half a dozen sunflowers to decorate my studio, to make pure chromium yellow, in a variety of contexts, in varying degrees of blue bottoms, from the darkest blues of veronese to the most advanced blues, flashing light; i want to make these paintings with the best orange frames, like the coloured glass in the gothic church. - letter to theo
Van gogh is particularly fond of sunflowers, bright yellows, dark greens, radiant blues, van gogh's sunflowers in aggressive colours, and their declared life is strong, high and warm. He drew two batches of 11 sunflowers. The first four were created in paris, and they're all on the screen. The last seven were in arler, all in the vase. It was thought that the most beautiful was the seven sunflowers he later painted in the vase。
Paris 1887
When van gogh lived in paris in 1887, he began to create four flat sunflowers with sunflowers. The first were experimental works, the results of which were aggregated in four cut sunflowers。
A total of seven sunflower paintings are known to have been inserted in the vase, one of which was destroyed and six retained。
Aarl period 1888
Van gogh is already interested in his own personal subject. Other painters at the same time may think that sunflowers are messy and insufficiently sophisticated, but they are perfect in the eyes of van gogh. During this period, several sunflowers were made to welcome the arrival of taller and were decorated in the bedroom of the yellow house。
