Through innovative brushstrokes and vivid color, Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890) transformed casual bouquets, country landscapes, and ordinary people into vibrant, unforgettable images. Van Gogh painted the irises reproduced on this note cube near the end of his year-long stay at the asylum in Saint-Remy. Over the course of his decade-long career, he produced nearly 900 paintings and more than 1,100 works on paper.
