From the St. Louis: The Saint Louis Art Museum:
Vincent van Gogh has represented an expanse of factories bellowing smoke into the air in the gritty, industrial suburb of Clichy to the northwest of Paris. The scene is divided into three horizontal bands of fields, factories, and sky, while in the middle distance, two tiny figures (perhaps lovers) are visible in the field. Van Gogh’s ordered system of repetitive brushwork reflects his awareness of the recent “pointillist” experiments of Seurat.
