About Van Gogh Pillow Case - Musart on Pillows - Irises (1889)

This Van Gogh Jacquard Weave Pillow is part of our original collection, Musart on Pillows. Jacquard weaving consists of the interweaving of two kinds of yarn: warp threads (10,500 threads in 100% cotton) and weft threads (cotton, wool, linen). This extremely precise technique makes it possible to interweave around 80 threads / cm². This technique results in obtaining a point of great finesse, it also allows to use a multitude of colors. This cover pillow represent one of Vincent Van Gogh's most famous paintings: Irises 1889. In the convalescence house of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, a former monastery from the 12th century, Van Gogh painted the irises that lined the path leading to the cloisters. This painting was, as for many artists of this period, influenced by Japanese paintings ukiyo-e (floating world). Vincent van Gogh took up this theme of the irises again, not in the ground like those of the garden of Saint-Rémy, but in very simple vases where deep blue flowers bloom. Marine blues, violets, each iris bloom is treated individually and stands out on blue-green leaves. More details on Van Gogh Pillow Case - Musart on Pillows - Irises (1889):

Van Gogh

Van Gogh was a master painter who strongly influenced the abstract and Neo-expressionist who came after him. Originating from the Netherlands, he discovered Impressionist art while living in Paris and started to use the color and light. His work is well known for its beauty, emotion, and color, as well as its interesting viewpoints of mundane objects. Despite being extremely poor and generally unknown throughout his lifetime, Van Gogh is now one of the greatest Dutch painters. He lived a life with emotional tension and madness, and he created his finest piece, Starry Night, inside an institution. Although the specter of mental illness haunted him throughout his adult life and created a habit of inflicting self-harm (such as the infamous severed ear), his work remained a testament to his genius. Van Gogh died at the age of only 37, due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His brother Theo would go on to distribute his work and cultivate his popularity.
