Description
|
|
|
|
Believing that wheat is a central metaphor of the cycle of life and the creative process, Vincent van Gogh explored the theme throughout his career. Informed by Van Gogh's personal correspondence and letters, this book examines the artist’s personal and visual fascination with wheat, analyzing the significance that the motif––and by extension, the peasant at work in nature––played within the social framework of 19th-century France. Van Gogh's increasingly expressionistic agricultural scenes appear in full color, along with many rarely seen sketches of peasant life, and related images by his peers Émile Bernard, Paul Gauguin, Jean-François Millet, Claude Monet, and Camille Pissarro.
