Vase With Twelve Sunflowers, 1888
Vincent Van Gogh
When Vincent Van Gogh originally began painting his sunflowers series in the summer of 1888, he planned on completing a dozen different paintings all featuring sunflowers of various hues and tints against blue backgrounds. His desire was to decorate the Yellow House that he and Paul Gauguin were going to use as a studio with these paintings. In a letter Van Gogh wrote to Emile Bernard in August 1888, he stated the series would be, “A decoration in which harsh or broken yellows will burst against various blue backgrounds, from the palest Veronese to royal blue, framed with thin laths painted in orange lead. Sorts of effects of stained-glass windows of a Gothic church." Unfortunately, Van Gogh was up against the clock as late summer turned to fall and the sunflowers began to wilt, resulting in only four completed paintings of the sunflowers series.
Taking wearable art to an entirely new level, this highly technical masterpiece has been re-imagined by The Mountain using the medium of ink on fabric.
