The Metropolitan Museum of Art Van Gogh Irises Bookmark | Office

Our Bookmark Features A Detail Adapted From The Museum’S Irises (1890) By Vincent Van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890). Just Before His Departure From The Asylum In Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh Painted An Exceptional Group Of Four Still Lifes, To Which This Painting Belonged. Striking In Their Facility Of Execution And Elegant Simplicity Of Design, These Bouquets And Their Counterparts Were Conceived As A Decorative Ensemble, Like The Suite Of Sunflowers He Had Made Earlier In Arles.
