Van Gogh painted this flower still life (1) after discovering the work of the Southern French artist Adolphe Monticelli in Paris (2). Vincent was impressed by his emphatic brushwork and his habit of using generous amounts of paint. 💐
Beep beep. It's the birthday of the strange Swiss painter Felix Valloton (1865-1925). Few artists puzzle me as much as Valloton. What exactly was he? He called himself a Nabi but never feels very mystical. And where do we put the sex and desire stuff? File under 'Uncomfortable'.
Friend and fellow painter Paul Gauguin saw this painting in real life. He said that Van Gogh had sold the painting to a dealer for five francs and immediately gave away the money to a poor young woman in the street afterward.
