Wheatfield
Vincent van Gogh (1888)
Wheatfield converts a Provençal field into a drama of <strong>living motion</strong> and <strong>complementary color</strong>. A high horizon compresses the turquoise sky so the gold expanse dominates, while a narrow path at right and a modest farmhouse at left anchor human presence within <strong>restless nature</strong> <sup>[1]</sup><sup>[2]</sup>. Painted in Arles in June 1888, it crystallizes Van Gogh’s pursuit of expressive brushwork and yellow–blue vibration.
