Metropolitan Museum of Art, Van Gogh Stylized Nature Double-Sided Square Silk Scarf

Metropolitan Museum of Art, Van Gogh Stylized Nature Double-Sided Square Silk Scarf, 41" Square
This luxurious silk-twill scarf celebrates the artist's profound fascination, with details from two of his paintings in The Met collection. 

Olive Trees (1889) is one of five pictures of olive orchards that Van Gogh made in November 1889. "What I've done is a rather harsh and coarse realism beside their abstractions," he described, "but it will nevertheless impart a rustic note, and will smell of the soil." On the reverse side of the scarf is Bouquet of Flowers in a Vase (1890). Though it shares stylistic similarities with some of his earlier compositions, its moody palette and graphic brushwork link it firmly with the landscapes he made just before his death in July 1890.

About this Artist
Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890) was enchanted by nature, which he avidly observed en plein air and indoors.  The two designs on each side of this reversible scarf illustrate this.
