Van
Gogh's sunflowers, in their gold, red, rust, blue, and purple,
are like no other sunflowers. They are giant in shape, with abundant
seeds and unexpected shapes. The petals and leaves seem to shake
and move with life. It ironic that Van Gogh, whose life was tenuous
because of poverty and illness, was able to paint about life
in a most stirring way. It is as if his illnesses made life all
the more sweeter to admire and portray. |
