| Summary: | Inspired by a bunch of flowers that the artist found lying in the gutter, Sunflowers became a personal favourite of the Dutch artist. A favourite so much that 10 versions of the original were made, the first of which helped to form a fruitful yet ultimately fraught relationship with fellow artist Paul Gauguin. This program reveals these stories and how Van Gogh's passion for sunflowers followed him to the grave, and also tries to explain the enduring popularity of the piece. |
