‘The sunflower is mine’, Van Gogh once declared. No other artist has been so closely associated with a specific flower, and his sunflower pictures are among his most loved works.
In this compact and richly illustrated book, Martin Gayford explores the history of the National Gallery’s Sunflowers, painted in Arles in 1888 shortly before Paul Gauguin came to stay with Van Gogh in the famous Yellow House. The book will look closely at the painting itself, conjuring the time and place of its creation, as well as considering its legacy and reception at the National Gallery after it was acquired in 1924.
