Not familiar with this Van Gogh

@farmerman,

Actually van Gogh was NOT an impressionist. He nd Cezanne, Seurat, Sisely, Toulouse La Trec, Gauginetc rejected the whole concept that color alone would describe their efforts (the basis of impressionist painting). The post Impressionists (as they were later called) futzed around with many things like line, little dots , mosaic structure etc. Most of these guys didnt know that they would be grouped as post Impressionists caue the term wasnt invented until about 1910 and most of these guys were dead by then. (I believe)

@farmerman,

The earliest sale on the list below (Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh) is from March 1987; with a price of £24.75 million (£62.8 million in current value) it tripled the previous record and introduced a new era in top art sales.

@farmerman,

Maybe Sisely was only a part time post-impressionist (whenever he did his dots paintings like Seurat)

@farmerman,

No, farmerman. I'm not trying to question any of your posts. Just wanted to add information about van Gogh in response to the OP.

@cicerone imposter,

ahhh. I did change my post about Sisely being a Post Impressionist. He was more an impressionist but he had a "pointillistic crust"

Thanks for all this good information, people. I always mostly looked at the pictures and never read up on much of it.

I'll take a picture of the van Gogh I bought at the van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, and post it. Be patient as I'm trying to learn how to post it on a2k.

@edgarblythe,

he didnt quite intensify the suns strength so this might have been an earlier month's light.
I love his skies, they just schmutz around as he blends the yellows of the horizon to deper blues up top. you can really see how he paints the sky around the building and the tree at this scale.

@edgarblythe,

His sense of human proportions was still kinda primitive and he was losing it at the end. I think he also did a version of Delacroix "death of Sardanopolus"
We have that one in the Philly art museum and its kinda soft porn.
