About the Artwork
?°Sunflowers,?± now synonymous with Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh (1853 ¨C 1890), is one of a signature series representing life?ˉs stages in the sunflowers?ˉ various phases of bloom. Declaring that ?°the sunflower is mine, in a way,?± Van Gogh used an innovative yellow spectrum made possible by newly invented pigments. Although Van Gogh's sunflower paintings share similarities, each is a unique and innovative work of art. Remarkably, Van Gogh was able to produce paintings that celebrated the beauty of nature and life, despite battling severe depression.
?°Painting as it is now promises to become more subtle- more like music and less like sculpture- and above all it promises color. If only it keeps that promise.?±
