Basket of Apples (1887), A Painting by Van Gogh, Unframed Ca..More

Still Life with Basket of Apples' (1887) : The foreground and background compete for attention in this still life. It's an explosion of colour. The background includes just about every variety of blue and green on Van Gogh�s palette. Over that, he added brushstrokes in contrasting colours: yellow, orange, red and pink. He used these same colour combinations for the apples in the foreground, but in the opposite order: the warm tones first, followed by cool green and blue accents. This created unity in the scene. *Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) : Van Gogh is a Dutch post-impressionist painter who is among the most known and powerful figures within the history of Western art.�His paintings embrace landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits; defined by vibrant colors and dramatic, impulsive and communication technique that contributed to the foundations of recent art.
