Gladioli and China Asters | Vincent van Gogh Notebook

Vase with Gladioli and China Asters (1886) by Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890) is a vibrant still life that showcases the artist’s developing mastery of colour and form. The striking arrangement of tall gladioli and delicate China asters fills the vase with lively energy, while van Gogh’s expressive brushwork captures the textures and movement of each blossom. The contrasting colours and dynamic composition reflect his growing Post-Impressionist style, emphasising both the vitality of nature and the artist’s emotional engagement with his subject.
