About The Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh
Van Gogh painted his sunflowers in Arles across the late summer of 1888 and into 1889, in a burst of optimism. He was preparing the Yellow House for Paul Gauguin's arrival and wanted the guest room lined with them — a decoration, he told his brother Theo, of nothing but large sunflowers.
The series is a study in a single colour. Van Gogh set yellow against yellow — blooms, vase, table and background all pitched in tones of the new chrome yellow pigments then available — and made the picture work through texture rather than contrast. Some flowers are in full opulent bloom; others have gone to seed, petals curling and dropping. He painted them as they were, wilting through their few days in the vase.
Gauguin admired them enough that Van Gogh gave him one. The friendship collapsed within two months.
Own a hand-painted Sunflowers
It matters here because of how little the picture relies on colour contrast. Almost everything in Sunflowers is yellow — flowers, vase, table, wall. What separates one form from another is the paint itself: ridged, loaded strokes standing up off the canvas, catching light at different angles so the blooms read as distinct. Print that and you get the hue but a flat surface, and the flowers merge. Painted by hand in oils, the texture that does the drawing comes back.
