Description:
|
Painted in Paris in the winter of 1887-1888. Van Gogh’s great admiration for Georges Seurat’s Pointillist works, which he saw at the alternative Salon des Indépendants, prompted him to experiment. Although he was unable to discipline himself to emulate the rigorous Pointillist technique, he did learn to employ the brush to create rhythmic patterns, modelling with color.
