The Metropolitan Museum of Art Van Gogh Irises Apron
45.95 USD
Art-inspired gifts for the home. Vincent van Gogh's (Dutch, 1853-1890) iconic irises feature on this 100% cotton apron, complete with an adjustable neck strap. Just before his departure from the Saint-Rémy asylum in May of 1890, the artist created four radiant spring bouquets, including the exuberant Irises (1890) 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.
