Vincent van Gogh Life Nature morte 1888 Oil canvas
Vincent van Gogh: Still Life (Nature morte), Vincent van Gogh, May 1888, Oil on canvas, Van Gogh often called his still life paintings color studies. Flowers in particular, arranged in different combinations and set against saturated fields of color, allowed him to experiment with new and bold chromatic relationships--here, blue and yellow. Van Gogh painted this canvas in May, 1888, a few months after he had moved to the village of Arles in the South of France. Several still lifes from his Arles period feature the same objects depicted here--the blue majolica vase with painted decoration, and the white teacup. The spiky blue flowers appear to be Cleome; Van Gogh may have taken liberties with their color. Overall: 21 11/16 x 18 3/16 in. (55.1 x 46.2 cm)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Vincent van Gogh's still life masterpiece titled "Nature morte" painted in 1888. Van Gogh, known for his vibrant and expressive style, often referred to his still life paintings as color studies. In this particular piece, he explores the harmonious relationship between blue and yellow through a bouquet of spiky blue flowers arranged in a striking blue majolica vase with painted decoration. During May 1888, shortly after relocating to the picturesque village of Arles in the South of France, Van Gogh created this artwork. It is worth noting that several other still lifes from his time in Arles feature similar objects depicted here - the iconic blue vase and a delicate white teacup. The artist's experimentation with bold chromatic relationships is evident as he sets these vividly colored flowers against saturated fields of color. The composition allows him to push boundaries and explore new artistic possibilities. While it appears that Van Gogh may have taken some liberties with the actual colors of Cleome flowers portrayed here, their spiky appearance adds an intriguing element to the overall arrangement. Measuring at approximately 21 11/16 x 18 3/16 inches (55.1 x 46.2 cm), this oil on canvas painting captures both Van Gogh's fascination with nature and his innovative approach to capturing its essence through vibrant brushstrokes and intense hues.
