We are looking at Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers', an iconic artwork from art history. What did the critics REALLY think when Dutch artist Van Gogh unveiled this work? Why DID Gauguin his friend visit him? Why does Van Gogh use so much YELLOW here?! This is one of the greatest art stories.
We learn loads in this whistle-stop tour on this iconic artwork such as:
- The background to this important artwork
- The subject matter: what do sunflowers really mean?
- Van Gogh''s art influences, both historic and contemporary. What about the Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, and 'Japonisme', or Japanese influence and their woodblock prints.
- What the critics and the art market thought of Van Gogh's work at the time, and now (are Sotheby's and Christies in the picture?)
- Why this artwork is just SO important the story of art history.
Let's GO!
