A Wheatfield, with Cypresses |

| From 1888 until his death in 1890, Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh painted his most important works. In these paintings, mostly landscapes such as A Wheatfield, with Cypresses (1889), van Gogh, like other postimpressionist artists, rejected the impressionists’ aim of depicting subjects naturalistically. Instead he made his paintings subjective through the expressive use of color and line. Van Gogh’s emotional painting style later inspired artists of the Fauvist and expressionist movements. | ||||||
