ARTIST SERIES - QUILLED IRISES, VAN GOGH GREETING CARD

Irises is one of a series of still life paintings Vincent Van Gogh made after checking himself into Saint Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, in the last year before his death in 1890. Drawing inspiration from the garden within the asylum, Vincent masterfully captured their beauty by contrasting the lush bouquet over a vibrant background. The Irises were purple in the original painting, but the red pigments faded turning them into the iconic blue we know today.

Quilling is the art of rolling, coiling and shaping small strips of paper to create a cohesive three-dimensional design and has been practiced for centuries. Historians have been able to date the art form back to Ancient Egyptian times where crafters would use a bird’s feather (quill) as the tool to coil the paper upon.
