Van Gogh Sunflower Paintings

March 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Van Gogh used flowers in his paintings very frequently, Van Gogh sunflowers were used in two series of paintings, both in a vase and also laid down. He continued to use vased flowers with poppies and roses following. Sunflowers are mong his most famous paintings and are also popular Van Gogh Reproductions. But few people realize he did many sunflower pictures, not just the most famous "Vase with Twelve Sunflowers" and "Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers." These were canvases he made to decorate the Yellow House in Arles in anticipation of his friend Paul Gauguin’s visit, and in the hope that other artists would follow and form a Utopian art community. Some of Van Gogh sunflower paintings are all but indistinguishable, with only tiny differences to prove one reproduction is different from the next. During his stay in Paris, he painted cut sunflowers in different stages of being, from fresh to wilted to dry.

Van Gogh seems to have brought his love for sunflowers with him from his homeland wherever he roamed, and indeed, they make the kind of dramatic subject he loved. Today, the sunflower is synonymous with Van Gogh Paintings, immediately recognizable and every bit. Van Gogh owns the sunflowrs just like water lilies belonging to Monet.

Van Gogh hobnobbed with many greatest Impressionist painters of the period while he was in Paris. Those artists influence each other, including van Gogh, who was recognized as a formidable genius by "Les Vingt," Monet and Toulouse Lautrec, among others. One can readily discern the Paris sunflowers from the ones Vincent painted later, in the Yellow House at Arles, since they are cut flowers without vases. These cut sunflowers are depicted in various stages of wilting, but Vincent’s final bright and bold color palette is evident at this point in his artistic development, permeating the pictures with life and joy.
