Van Gogh Vase with Twelve Sunflowers

Vase with Twelve Sunflowers

 

 

Even Van Gogh himself suggested that the image of Sunflowers belonged to him. To Theo he wrote: “the sunflower is mine in a way”. The amazing images he created have forever bonded him with the flower. Van Gogh created the Sunflower series in 1887 - 88. He created nine paintings all together for the series – three with fifteen flowers, two with twelve in 1888 and a year earlier had created a series of four paintings. One was given to Paul Gauguin. The paintings show sunflowers in all stages of life, from full bloom to withering. The paintings were considered innovative for their use of the yellow spectrum, partly because newly invented pigments made new colours possible.

The colors are vibrant and express emotions typically associated with the life of sunflowers: bright yellows of the full bloom to arid browns of wilting and death; all of the stages woven through these polar opposites are presented. Perhaps this very technique is what draws one into the painting; the fulfillment of seeing all angles of the spectrum of life and in turn reaching a deeper understanding of how all living things are tied together.

Regardless, Van Gogh's paintings of sunflowers have altered mankind's perspective of art and life. These paintings captivate the mind and leave you astounded in their simplistic beauty. The flowing wilted steams and the burst of lovely yellow draws ones attention around the painting, without disrupting the balance of the piece. These paintings are often duplicated for people's special love.
