About the Artist: Vincent van Gogh, (1853-1890) was a Dutch painter, who is regarded as one of the most important of the Post-Impressionists. Known for his striking palette, expressive brushwork, and contoured forms.
Van Gogh’s art rose to popularity after his death, especially in the late 20th century when his paintings were sold for record-breaking sums, thus cementing his gargantuan profile in popular culture as well as art history.
Van Gogh was an artist who openly struggled with his own mental health but what was so unique was how those struggles would affect his artistic practice, from shifts in palette to subjects of allegorical meaning. The means by which van Gough expressed his emotion through his work was the catalyst to his posthumous success. For an artist to portray raw emotion whilst maintaining control of the key aesthetic principles is an attribute that is critical in the definition of the greatest of art.
Vincent van Gogh, through all his struggles, has been mythologized in the popular imagination as the quintessential tortured artist.
About the Painting: Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings of sunflowers are among his most famous. They were all painted while he was living in Arles, south of France, in 1888 and 1889. In total, he painted five large canvases with sunflowers in a vase, with three shades of yellow and nothing else. In doing this he was able to convey that it was possible to create an image with many variations of a single colour and maintain the expressiveness and aesthetic appeal that the artist envisioned.
Sunflower paintings always held a gravity for Van Gogh in that they communicated gratitude, he wrote. The Sunflower as an object became fundamental to Van Gogh’s visual language and became as significant as his palette choice and mark-making would in defining his artistic practice. Vincent Van Gogh’s ownership over a still life element was so profound that it has become synonymous with the artist himself and symbolically, a staple reference to modern art.
