Irises (1889) Vincent Van Gogh Impressionism Art Pen

The amazing Van Gogh "Irises" (1889) fine-tip blue and black ink ballpoint pen comes in big quantities and is embellished with the lovely blue iris blooms from the Impressionist master Vincent Van Gogh's painting of a botanical garden. This elegant pen by the Impressionists oozes grace and ageless beauty. When Vincent van Gogh was a patient at the Saint Paul-de-Mausole facility in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, in the final year before his death in 1890, he painted several works with iris themes, notably Irises. Van Gogh began painting irises in the hospital garden in May 1889, less than a month after checking himself into the asylum. He was inspired by nature. The tension in this composition is not as intense as it is in his later works. He referred to it as "the lightning conductor for my insanity" because he believed that if he kept painting, he could prevent himself from becoming insane. Influenced by Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints, the parallels result from powerful shapes, odd angles, close-up views, and flat local color (not modeled according to the fall of light). A feeling of softness and lightness permeates the entire image. When there is no melancholy, the iris is vibrant and alive.
