Van Gogh: Sunflowers (One Painting, One Story) by Martin Gayford
‘The sunflower is mine’, Van Gogh once declared. No other artist has been so closely associated with a specific flower, and his sunflower pictures are among his most loved works. In this compact and richly illustrated book, Martin Gayford explores the history of the National Gallery’s Sunflowers, painted in Arles in 1888 shortly before Paul Gauguin came to stay with Van Gogh in the famous Yellow House. The book will look closely at the painting itself, conjuring the time and place of its creation, as well as considering its legacy and reception at the National Gallery after it was acquired in 1924.
Martin Gayford is a celebrated author and journalist. His publications have ranged from biographical studies of artists including Michelangelo and Constable, to volumes on Freud and Hockney. His book The Yellow House: Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Nine Turbulent Weeks in Arles was published to critical acclaim and has been translated into five languages.
