Vincent Van Gogh Irises (1889)
Irises is one of many paintings of irises by the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. Like many artists of his time Van Gogh was influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints. The strong outlines, unusual angles, including close-up views, is a typical element of Japanese woodblock prints which helped to inforce the expressive power of the painting.
