Chinese Asters and Gladioli | Vincent van Gogh Notebook

Vase with Chinese Asters and Gladioli (1886) by Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890) is a lively and expressive still life showcasing the artist’s growing command of colour and composition. The tall gladioli and delicate Chinese asters rise from a simple vase, rendered with van Gogh’s characteristic energetic brushstrokes. The contrasting hues and dynamic arrangement convey both the vitality of the flowers and the artist’s emotional intensity, reflecting his early Post-Impressionist exploration of form, texture, and colour.
