A Dazzling Still Life from the Final Days of Van Gogh

Рет қаралды 21,584

“’Auvers is very beautiful, really profoundly beautiful” wrote Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo, and his stay there in the final days of his life proved to be enormously productive. In his seventy days in Auvers, van Gogh would paint seventy or so canvases, including the masterwork Fleurs dans un verre. Intricately rendered, this vibrant canvas represents one of the few still life paintings executed during this period and will be a highlight of Sotheby’s Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale in New York.

Poor Van Gogh!!! One of the most underrated artists while alive.

van Gogh only sold one painting during his career. However, other prominent artist of the time were well aware of Vincent's immense talent.

The frame completely overwhelms this beautiful serene work. It needs a much less elaborate frame to complement it. Finally, someone of Van Gogh's stature doesn't need all that decorative gold gilt to sell his art. It stands on its own merit.

The frame is most likely original...very different time in late 19th century. For me, the frame is part of the painting and both should remain as one. Love van Gogh's work!

You need to look at it from an eye of the time, and not a modern eye. The frame is appropriate and in no way should be changed. I think it's beautiful.

Stephanie Lehrer I absolutely agree. This is the wrong frame for this painting. It's so obviously too large & too ornate. Maybe they're appealing to a v wealthy moron who's interested in buying status. Just my guess.

An artist has two lives: His own life and his artistic life. They are independent of each other. So he could have felt sadness in his personal life and also expressed joy in his artistic life.

It's important to note there are valid reasons to believe he was killed (even if accidentally), rather than committing suicide. I'd suggest anyone interested in this Google it. I'm of the persuasion he was accidentally killed, for his paintings and words from this period don't seem suicidal.

A cat's soft nose I agree. It frustrates me that things are assumed and stated as fact in his life yet no one really knows. There are questions as to whether he was shot by accident and was gracious not to call out the kids that did it. Same goes for his ear if you look into it. There's a great BBC documentary on the truth behind VVGs ear. ✌️

@indoororchidsandtropicals358 3 жыл бұрын

I knew someone who was super excited and optimistic about the future just two hours before he killed himself and he did it in such a way that there would be no rescue and no accidental survival. The way in which he did it was very unusual. Van Gogh had also made previous attempts and a history of self harm though, so I think the probability of him doing it was high.

I think this is HIGHLY suspicious if i am correct about the following: The flower on the left is a Cattleya mossiae with a droopy dorsal sepal which is extremely common in mossiae as is that fall forward shape of the lateral petals and would have cost hundreds of pounds back then, which was out of the reach of anyone not wealthy enough to send men to the jungles of South America and money to build glasshouses on railroad tracks to move them around seasonally. Also the nettle is not a nettle, its a coleus. In other words, if you're not a BIG industrialist or HIGH aristocracy, you weren't owning any Cattleyas at the time this work is said to have been painted.

Also where did the title come from? I have serious doubts about that morning glory, which..you can secondguess my cattleya ID, but the vine, heart shaped leaves, and large trumpet shaped flowers is definitely morning glory, not bindweed, and thats a south American species, so its not a wildflower native to France. Lots of questions.

What's sad is that artists die as paupers and only then their paintings are appreciated in price. If only Van Gogh got his works worth during his lifetime then he would have lived a happy life as well instead of ending in tragedy.

Yet what a legacy that Jo, Theo's wife, was willing to promote and advocate for Vincent after his death (and soon after, Theo's) ,for both of their memories. Her son, namesakes Vincent, probably influenced this too. Thankfully she was willing to continue his promotion so we, now, are able to enjoy his work. Yes, painful for Vincent to not have known his impression on this world, but sometime art transcends time. He wouldn't have been Vincent without the life he had.

Vincent was not about money. He did not want to be wealthy, he wanted to be appreciated and loved by his peers, towards the end of his life he was beginning to be recognised and his fellow artists had organised an exhibition of his work, he would have been happy about that and had good reason to be optimistic. He did not shoot himself in a fit of depression, he was shot accidentally by two small boys playing with a gun, one of them confessed on his deathbed.

@andreasfischer6444 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry to say, but this is definitely not the strongest work of van Gogh. He left his own scheme of composition that he had developed so meticulously in other works of his later period, and that didn’t work out. In his better works he managed to break through to a “deep structure” that holds together the whole picture, but in this case, he didn’t arrive.

Its pure advertising. See my 3 other comments and I think you will understand why they have to show it like a car commercial from exciting angles with pretty music. Also there is no provenance before the war according to this video and suddenly the Oppenheimers have it? The same kind of people who would not have bought a van gogh when he was alive? Do you get where I am going with this? There isno letter about this painting, either or southebys would have definitely mentioned that fact because that would add a couple tens of millions to the price tag.

@@indoororchidsandtropicals358 yeah. It is deeply perverted. He originally intended to be a priest. All of his work brought him intentionally into contact with the lower classes of society, peasants, hard working people, miners. He would spit on the rich bastards making millions out of his suffering. The sad truth is the same story continues with many artists, but those vultures are making their empire out of exactly this - another one suffering.
