Do you know the name of the film? Which famous artist and his masterpiece are mentioned in the film? Do you recognize them? Vincent van Gogh painted these 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. The series of paintings was made possible by the innovations in manufactured pigments in the 19th Century. Without the vibrancy of the new colours, such as chrome yellow, Van Gogh may never have achieved the intensity of Sunflowers.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. Use your own words to introduce each artist mentioned in the passage to other group members. 2. Suppose you have a chance to interview one of the artists, who would you prefer to interview and what questions would you prepare?
