-Vincent Willem van Gogh (荷兰艺术家, 1853-1890) was a 荷兰艺术家 Post-Impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in Western art history.
In May 1889, after episodes of self-mutilation and hospitalization, Vincent van Gogh chose to enter an asylum in Saint-Rémy, France. There, in the last year before his death, he created almost 130 paintings. Within the first week, he began Irises, working from nature in the asylum\'s garden. The cropped composition, divided into broad areas of vivid color with monumental irises overflowing its borders, was probably influenced by the decorative patterning of Japanese woodblock prints.
Each one of Van Gogh\'s irises is unique. He carefully studied their movements and shapes to create a variety of curved silhouettes bounded by wavy, twisting, and curling lines. The painting\'s first owner, 法国艺术家 art critic Octave Mirbeau, one of Van Gogh\'s earliest supporters, wrote: \"How well he has understood the exquisite nature of flowers!\"
