Grapes, Lemons, Pears, and Apples
Vincent van Gogh, 1887
This is one of a group of related canvases featuring fruit that Van Gogh painted in 1887. In these works, he employed more vibrant colors and used a thicker, broader paint application than he had earlier. Here, he used complementary colors whose contrasting effect is heightened by the pulsating pattern of brushstrokes that defines the tablecloth and creates a force field around the fruit.
