This book examines the artist's personal and visual fascination with wheat, analyzing the significance that the motifand by extension, the peasant at work in natureplayed within the social and cultural framework of 19th-century France and in the works of other artists of the time. Focusing on hisSheaves of Wheatat the Dallas Museum of Artone of thirteen canvases completed in the last month of his lifethis beautiful book features illustrations of Van Gogh's works as well as personal correspondence and letters. Related images by such prominent contemporary artists as Emile Bernard, Jules Breton, Charles F. Daubigny, Paul Gauguin, Jean-Francois Millet, Claude Monet, and Camille Pissarro are also included. Together these works reveal the larger social and political trends of 19th-century France.
