Description
An art scarf makes a unique gift. Vincent van Gogh's (Dutch, 1853-1890) iconic irises bloom across this luxurious scarf. Just before his departure from the Saint-Rémy asylum in May of 1890, the artist created four radiant spring bouquets, including the exuberant Irises(1890) in the Museum's collection of European paintings. Van Gogh sought to achieve a "harmonious and soft" effect by placing the "violet" flowers against a "pink background," but owing to his use of fugitive red pigments, these colors have since faded.
