Oliviers avec ciel jaune et soleil (Olive trees with yellow sky and sun)

 

 

Aubusson tapestry woven by the Four workshop.
With label, no. 6/6.
After an 1889 painting by the artist, kept at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

 

 

 

The Four workshop produced a certain number of hand-woven tapstries which depicted works of the great masters : thus Klee, Modigliani, Macke or, as here, Van Gogh are faithfully reproduced in wool that reflects the shading and brushstrokes of the artist’s original.
