CLAUDE MONET. Bouquet of Sunflowers

Bouquet of Sunflowers. Artist: Claude Monet (French, Paris 1840-1926 Giverny). Dimensions: 39 3/4 x 32 in. (101 x 81.3 cm). Date: 1881.
In November 1888, Van Gogh wrote: "Gauguin was telling me the other day--that he'd seen a painting by Claude Monet of sunflowers in a large Japanese vase, very fine. But--he likes mine better. I'm not of that opinion." Critics had earlier praised the "brio and daring" of Monet's technique when he showed this still life, depicting sunflowers that grew along the pathway to his garden at Vétheuil, at the 1882 Impressionist exhibition.
