Sunflowers

I have long been a fan of Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings, relishing in the cozy ochre blossoms of his sunflower still-lives… so when I opened an envelope from Dave of Lazer Attack Zines and saw one of those paintings peering out at me, well reader, I was thrilled! “Sunflowers” offers an in-depth history of the paintings Van Gogh created from 1886 until his death in 1890. The zine covers Vincent’s relationships with his brother Theo and close friend Gauguin, the impetus behind the sunflower as an artistic subject, and the reverberations these paintings had on the art world long after his passing. I love it when a zine deepens my understanding of a topic, and “Sunflowers” does just that. This impressive, comprehensive zine is edifying without being didactic or dull, and if you’re an art-lover, I urge you to pick up a copy and dive right in.
