Poppy Field by Vincent van Gogh, June 1890, Kunstmuseum (Der Haag. Netherlands) #Art#ModernArt#PostImpressionism More in alt text

"Auvers is very beautiful", van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo in Paris, "among other things a lot of old thatched roofs, which are getting rare...really it is profoundly beautiful, it is the real country, characteristic and picturesque". In nine weeks, from late May through July 1890, Van Gogh produced some 106 finished works there - 72 paintings, 33 drawings and one etching. They represent the Auvers he saw around him and, more important, the place he imagined it to be: a perfected rural space that is fertile and green. Van Gogh's Poppy field dates from this period. Its composition and use of colour are highly reminiscent of those in Claude Monet's 1881 painting of the same subject (Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen) but Van Gogh has elevated the horizon, so that the field of flowers occupies a larger proportion of the picture plane.

La Donana, Venice by Henri-Edmond Cross, 1903, Private Collection #Art#ModernArt#PostImpressionism More in alt text

Cross was one of the leading exponents of French Neo-Impressionism. With his friend and fellow painter Paul Signac, he discovered the Côte d’Azur for painting. Situated between the Impressionists around Claude Monet and the forerunners of Expressionism around Henri Matisse, his oeuvre marks a crucial step along the path toward establishing color as an autonomous pictorial means and, by extension, toward abstraction. Many of his paintings have either been lost or are in private collections.

Still Life with Flowers and Fruit by Paul Cézanne, c. 1890, Alte Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (Berlin, Germany) #Art#ModernArt#PostImpressionism More in alt text

In the 1880s, Cézanne's work centered around still lifes. He produced over 170 paintings in this genre, with the same elements but rearranging them in order to arrive at new formal and painterly answers. A wooden table, a tablecloth, fruits, and a ginger jar were all items in his standard repertoire, with the addition here for the first time of a generous bunch of wildflowers - daisies, carnations, and poppies. None of Cézanne's other still lifes are so rich in decorative detail, yet the space retains its simplicity of character, and the work retains its formal rigor. The opulence of the right-hand side of the image is balanced by the dark background and the cool, white tablecloth. The individual objects are sensually portrayed and relate in a somewhat monolithic manner to each other and to the picture space They are an expression of Cézanne's search for the being of things, which in itself comes through particularly in his style of painting.

Daubigny's Garden by Vincent van Gogh, June 1890, Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam, Netherlands) #Art#ModernArt#PostImpressionism More in alt text

Van Gogh came to Auvers-sur- Oise, a little village around 30 km from Paris, on May 20, 1890. Auvers was an artists' village, where painters such as Armand Guillaumin, Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne had already worked. Charles Daubigny, a painter Van Gogh much admired, had also moved there around 1860. At the time of Van Gogh's arrival, his widow still occupied their house. Daubigny's property included a large garden which Van Gogh would eventually paint a number of times. This impressionistic view depicts only a small part of the enclosure and is a study for two larger paintings he later made of the whole terrain.

Les bateaux amarrés (Quay with Men Unloading Sand Barges) by Vincent van Gogh, 1888, Museum Folkwang (Essen, Germany) #Art#ModernArt#PostImpressionism More in alt text

Van Gogh painted this oil study in the summer of 1888 in Arles. In a letter to his brother Theo, he described the motif, which he had previously captured in a drawing: "At the moment I am working on a study [..] boats, seen from a quay, from above. The two boats are purplish pink, the water is very green, no sky, a tricolor flag on the mast. A workman with a wheelbarrow is unloading sand. I have a drawing of it too." Specifically, the scene is situated on the landing place on the left bank of the Rhone not far from the Place Lamartine, just a few steps away from van Gogh's studio at the time. The filigree depiction of the boats and their loads, the landing stage, the rudder and the masts give the impression of a rocking, unsteady plane over the and the masts give the impression of a rocking, unsteady plane over the water which supports the massively reinforced bank and the heavy chain.
