His use of expressive brushstrokes and bold colours contributed to the rise of expressionism in modern art.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVan Gogh was a prolific painter and created approximately 2100 artworks in just over a decade, most of them in the last two years of his life. Van Gogh flourished when surrounded by nature and created magnificent and uplifting works of art that showcased the natural world. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn February 1888, Van Gogh moved to the village of Arles in southern France in hopes of establishing an artistic retreat and commune. It was in Arles where his paintings became more brightly coloured and he fully embraced the renewing power of nature, depicting local olive groves, wheat fields, and flowers. Van Gogh was energised by his new environment, completing 200 paintings and more than 100 drawings and watercolours during his time there. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVan Gogh often called his still life pieces “colour studies.” By arranging flowers in different combinations and setting them against saturated fields of colour, he experimented with bold new chromatic relationships. Reproduced on this cover is the canvas \u003cem\u003eStill Life (Nature morte)\u003c\/em\u003e, which he painted in May 1888, a few months after his move to the village. Several artworks from his Arles period feature the same objects depicted here – the blue majolica vase with painted decoration, filled with vibrant blue and yellow flowers, and the white teacup. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe are honoured to partner with the Barnes Foundation, an educational institution based in Philadelphia, to reproduce one of Van Gogh’s finest pieces of still life as part of our collaborative collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal artwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e Still Life (Nature morte) oil on canvas painting by Vincent van Gogh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1888\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arles, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midi – 125 × 180 × 20 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate range:\u003c\/strong\u003e January – December 2027\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLayout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Week-to-View Vertical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176 (88 sheets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaper:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 gsm acid-free smooth paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elastic band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smyth sewn – lies flat and stays durable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rounded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePouch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Back cover pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Van Gogh’s Still Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% recycled binder boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative printed cover paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted on acid-free paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded stitching and glue, as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 satin ribbon markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemento pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eName plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonthly planner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConversion tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear planner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational dialling codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini calendars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternational holidays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNational holidays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorld time zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote-taking pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 290 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e DE1938-2 | \u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780349719382\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Paperblanks\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaperblanks works with museums, libraries, galleries and artists around the world to faithfully reproduce remarkable artwork, historic bindings and treasured manuscripts.
