Paul Gauguin - Still Life with Sunflowers on an armchair 1901. In 1901, when this painting was produced,
Gauguin was still living in Tahiti and nearing the end of his life. Yet the subject dates back to the time of his
friendship with van Gogh, in whose work the sunflower motif, a symbol of the sun, occupied a special place. In
1888, both artists worked together at Arles in Provence, and van Gogh painted a number of now famous still
lives with sunflowers. - art-Gauguin.com
