Inspired by Van Goghs vibrantly painted canvasses, Duncan set out on a journey to capture with color camera the plant that had so intrigued the artist. Scarce in Van Goghs own time, the sunflower of today grows across Europe in ever-increasing numbers of fields to satisfy the commercial demand for vegetable oil. This vast floral extravaganza vies with the Dutch tulip fields for spectacular beauty and abundance, yet has been ignored until now. With photographs, Duncan reveals his own obsession to document the flower. He sought out the source of Van Goghs inspiration at Arles, then farther afield, from Provence to the Atlantic. In the eleven known paintings of sunflowers by Van Gogh (reproduced here all together in color for the first time) and Duncans dramatic pictures, this book celebrates a countryside flower through the eyes of two artists.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rizzoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964767367221,"sku":"ByrdShop_0847807649","price":52.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780847807642_52d005ca-c94a-47f3-add8-68947a3f58dc.jpg?v=1781434007","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sunflowers-for-van-gogh-9780847807642","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
