Two Cut Sunflowers 1887

"Two Cut Sunflowers" (1887) by Vincent van Gogh depicts two sunflowers, their petals cut off, lying against a dark background. The painting is characterized by van Gogh's signature impasto technique, thick layers of paint applied with visible brushstrokes, creating a sense of texture and movement. The vibrant yellow and green hues evoke a sense of life and energy, even in the decay of the flowers. The work is a study in form and color, showcasing van Gogh's unique artistic vision and his fascination with the beauty of nature, even in its transient state.
