Tree Roots
Vincent van Gogh (1890)
Tree Roots is a late Auvers canvas in a rare, elongated "double‑square" format that compresses the view to nothing but interlaced trunks and roots. Thick, cobalt‑blue contours and vibrating oranges/ochres forge a field of near‑abstraction, turning a roadside bank into a <strong>charged meditation on resilience and exposure</strong> <sup>[1]</sup><sup>[6]</sup><sup>[2]</sup>.
