The book contextualizes this work within Van Goghs artistic production and explores its deeply personal  often religious resonance. It also features in-depth findings on the artists technique  materials  and palette resulting from a three-year cross-disciplinary conservation science research project that rigorously examined all 15 paintings. Of particular interest are new discoveries concerning Van Goghs use of unstable pigments  his application of paint en plein air versus in the studio  and the chronology of the series. Produced between June and December 1889  this bold and highly experimental series employs the motif as a constant in the artists passionate investigation of the expressive powers of color  line  and subject. Painting the olive trees at different times of day and in different seasons was a quest to unlock their quintessential features  which to him represented the spirit of Provence.
