Art Lessons - Ann Iverson

FIRST LESSON
There is nothing more artistic than to love others.
VINCENT VAN GOGH
SUNFLOWERS
Oil on Canvas, 1888
VINCENT VAN GOGH
In 5th grade, the teacher handed out a brochure
from which to order prints of the classics for 99 cents.
My mother ordered several, among them your Sunflowers,
perhaps why we have these conversations.
Even in the print, the impasto was quite evident.
Though just 11 years old, I thought the vase
of the half way dying giants a bit peculiar, almost scary
like the tangling monsters in bad dreams.
But their floppy, golden heads made her happy,
and it made me happy to dutifully carry home
a new print every month in its tubular container
that we opened together on the kitchen table.
You painted them for Gauguin, who never made you happy,
but the Sunflowers must have spoken to you
of a life free of torment, one of complete elation,
a life where yellow holds the brush
and the eyes of life and death are equal in their beauty.
And Gauguin painted you painting them
as though the two of you followed in a circle
those nine autumn weeks in and out
of the yellow house in Arles
until the tragic took the canvas
Enjoying the preview?
