Sonnenblumen Vincent Van Gogh 1
These simple sunflowers in a vase, the brilliance of them touch the heartstrings of the viewers. Van Gogh applied broad, gestural brush strokes to the painting, making the painting looks like a relief sculpture. Yellow and brown colors as well as the drawing techniques show the viewers a dreamland full of beauty, sunshine and hope. However, when drawing this for the same time, though the artist tried to seize the doom of this world, it slowly but mercilessly slips away. Perhaps this painting’s superficially reflects his psychological state of this period when his short and tragic life came to the end. He was a lover of nature and always found the pure beauty from the simple things. He once said that he would rather draw the shadows of the trees outside of the window than the imaginary phantom.
Though Van Gogh’s art is great, during his lifetime, however, has not been recognized by the public. It is very unacceptable as his works contained a profound tragedy consciousness and strong individuality. His pursuit of the unique artistic form was unprecedented. His seize his object from the environment and recreate the reality of the object in order to achieve real and true, leading to the birth of expressionism. Though people had profound misunderstanding on him and his art, he was very confident of himself and his artistic talent. That’s why he left us so many eternal artworks. He directly influenced the French Fauvism and Expressionism in Germany even the earlier 20th century art, lyrical abstract portrait. “Sunflower” was created in the bright sunshine in the south France. The painter liked flashing flames raging so full of blazing passion. The brush strokes were broad, dynamic and powerful; the colors contrast was so strong and pure. However, in this broad brush strokes and simple contrast, we can see the wisdom and artistic talent of the painter. In a word, Van Gogh ’s sunflower is not just a plant but a living form full of impulse and passion.
