Harvest in Provence Vincent van Gogh Date: 1888; Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France * Style: Post-Impressionism Genre: landscape Media: oil, canvas Location: Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Israel
Harvest in Provence[49] is a particularly relaxed version of the harvest paintings.[50] The painting, made just outside Arles, is an example of how Van Gogh used color in full brilliance[51] to depict "the burning brightness of the heat wave."[52] The painting is also called the Grain Harvest of Provence or Corn Harvest of Provence.
In the foreground of Honolulu Museum of Art's Wheat Field are sheaves of harvested wheat. Horizontal bands mark the wheat fields, behind which are trees and houses on the horizon. His work, like that of his friend Paul Gauguin, that emphasized personal expression over literal composition led to the expressionist movement and towards twentieth-century Modernism.
