Vincent van Gogh - Irises - Van Gogh Museum
WEBVan Gogh painted this still life in the psychiatric hospital in Saint-Rémy. For him, the painting was mainly a study in colour. He set out to achieve a powerful colour contrast.

Why Did Van Gogh So Often Paint Sunflowers?
WEBColour variations. Van Gogh was fond of flowers, and knew that Gauguin would also appreciate the motif. He finished three large versions before Gauguin arrived. His initial idea was to create a series of paintings in yellow and blue, but once he started painting, he soon departed from that plan and started using numerous other colour variations.
