The Potato Eaters, completed in 1885, is considered by many to be Van Gogh's first great work of art.
The painting that was completed consisted of 5 figures sitting around a square table eating potatoes; four of them are females and one male,the mixed emotions residing in the faces of the occupants shine out brightly.
It was not successful in his life time.
Sunflowers.
Part of a still life series of 30 works depicting groups of 12 and 15 sunflowers.
They were painted during the summer and autumn months when the sunny days.
His treatment of sunflowers, which was conceptually innovative, made that flower synonymous with his name.
Painted with his heart and his feelings, and the bold colors and unrestrained brushstrokes of “Olive Trees” depict them with all the frantic emotion they inspired in him. A post-Impressionist who powerfully influenced modern Expressionism, Fauvism and early abstraction.
