Van Gogh:
Irises and Roses
At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York - Vincent
van Gogh (1853–1890) brought his work in Provence to a close with exuberant
bouquets of spring flowers—two of irises and two of roses. This exhibition will
reunite the four paintings for the first time since the artist's death and is
timed to coincide with the blooming of the flowers that captured his attention.
It will open 125 years to the week that Van Gogh announced to his brother Theo,
on May 11 and 13, 1890, that he was working on these "large
bouquets," and will provide a singular opportunity to reconsider Van
Gogh's artistic aims and the impact of dispersal and color fading on his
intended results. [more...]
