Clothing & Accessories The Metropolitan Museum of Art | Van Gogh Irises Zip Pouch

Artful Travel Pouches Inspired By The Met.

Tote Vincent Van Gogh’S (Dutch, 1853–1890) Iconic Irises (1890) All Over Town With This Artful Zip Pouch. Just Before His Departure From The Saint-Rémy Asylum In May Of 1890, The Artist Created Four Radiant Spring Bouquets, Including This Exuberant Still Life In The Museum’S Collection Of European Paintings. Van Gogh Sought To Achieve A “Harmonious And Soft” Effect By Placing The “Violet” Flowers Against A “Pink Background,” But Owing To His Use Of Fugitive Red Pigments, These Colors Have Since Faded To Blue And White.
