TRIBUTE TO VAN GOGH Photo

Photographer’s Note

When I saw the lady in Mostar (Bosnia and Herzogovia) selling sunflowers, I could not resist to think about Van Gogh and his sunflowers. Always have the question in my mind, how many sunflowers are there in any of his paintings? Anyone knows?

Vincent van Gogh painted his famous sunflowers after leaving his native Holland for the south of France with the dream of starting an artistic community. He began to paint sunflowers to decorate a bedroom for his friend Paul Gauguin.

These most famous of all sunflowers in art hold at their heart a simple parable about the brevity of life; they are at varying stages in the life cycle, from withered and wilting to vibrant full bloom.
The blooms in the photo represent the amateurs in TE like myself..

Mostar’da aycicegi satan kadını gordugumde Van Gogh ve onun ayciceklerini tablosunu dusunmeden edemedim.. Hic merak ettiniz mi onun tablosunda kac tane aycicegi var ve kac tane aycicekleri tablosu....bilen varmi?
Vincent Van Gogh meshur ayciceklerini ulkesi Hollanda’yi birakip sanat toplumu baslatma hayaliyle guney Fransaya gittikten sonra yapmistir. Arkadasi Paul Gaugen’e bir oda dekore etmek icin ayciceklerini cizmeye baslamistir. Cizdigi ayciceklerinin hayatin genclik, olgunluk, yaslilik donemlerini ifade edecek sekilde cesitlilik gosterdigini soylemistir.Aradaki kucuk tomurcuklar da galiba TE deki benim gibi ciraklari sembolize etmekte..

Selamlar Cengiz,

sanki daha özenli olabilirdi bu fotoğraf, en azından Van Gogh hatrına. Sadece ilk saksıda gördüğümden orjinalliği ile sana yakıştırdım :)

Ellerine sağlık,

Sarhan.

çok hoş bir çağrışım...renkler ve netlik çiçeklerin canlılığını çok güzel yansıtıyor... belki biraz daha dik bir açı denenebilirmiş ama o zaman van gogh unkiler gibi olmazmış... kendinize acemi diyerek hakkınızı yiyorsunuz bilesiniz sayın ustam....

Merhaba Cengiz,
Nice picture, I like paintings of V.Van Gogh a lot and Your picture remind me one of them. Nice colours.
BTW: Mostar is in Herzegovina and because of that it is in the western part of BiH, called here Bosniak - Croat.

Hi Cengiz, I like this colourful modern version of an old classic. Thanks for the note - this was needed to put a seemingly non-travel picture into the right context.

Valla içimden Bosna'ya gittin de çiçekmi çektin demek geliyor!... Neyseki çiçekler güzelmiş.

Bonjour Cengiz,
Bel hommage à Van Gogh. Quand l'on pense que le tournesol est utilisé à des fins pétrolières ! il n'y a plus de sentiment !
Très bien vu.
Amitiés.

Merhaba Cengiz...
Gercekten de aycicekleri Van Gogh'la özdeslismis ve nerede aycicekleri görsem onu hatirlarim... Fakat ilk defa saksida görüyorum... Güzel bir naturmort fotografi olmus... Plastik saksi da aslinda mizahi bir karsitlik uyandirmis...
Ellerine saglik...
Saglicakla kal..
Salim.
