Van Gogh painted sunflowers for the first time in the summer of 1886. Two years later, his interest appeared again after he settled in Arles. After he had invited the French artist Paul Gauguin, whom he admired, to join his Studio of the South, he began painting sunflowers to brighten up the whitewashed walls of the yellow house he was living in, not far from the town’s railway station.

Gauguin accepted Van Gogh’s invitation. When he began dragging his heels, Van Gogh painted the last two of the four original Sunflowers for the plain bedroom where his guest would sleep following his arrival that autumn. “Van Gogh saw the Sunflowers for Gauguin’s bedroom as a way of attracting his friend to come from Brittany,” says Bailey.

According to Martin Gayford, “Gauguin was very surprised by the Sunflowers, which he repeatedly praised and asked for as a gift. Years later, Gauguin himself painted some sunflower pictures.”

Van Gogh’s Sunflowers stand for his relationship with Gauguin. “I think he painted them for the joy of it,” says Jansen. “Van Gogh was at the height of his powers in the summer of 1888,” explains Bailey. “He painted the Sunflowers quickly and with great energy and confidence.” Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo in late August, “I’m painting quickly now, which won’t surprise you when it’s a question of painting large Sunflowers.”

Van Gogh recognised at once that he had created something important and that his sunflowers were so different. As he told Theo in January 1889, while other artists were known for painting other flowers, “The sunflower is mine.” This, in fact, explains the reason for the popularity of Van Gogh’s Sunflowers today.

1. Why did Van Gogh paint sunflowers in 1888?　

A. To make his living.

B. To decorate his house.

C. To give them to Gauguin.

D. To show his artistic talent to others.

2. Where were the last two Sunflowers placed by Van Gogh?

A. In Gauguin’s bedroom.

B. In the British museum.

C. In the town’s railway station.

D. In a rich businessman’s house.

解析:细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,高更接受了凡·高的邀请,凡·高为那间不起眼的卧室画了四幅原作《向日葵》中的最后两幅,那个秋天他的客人(高更)到来后就睡在这个卧室里。所以凡·高把最后两幅《向日葵》画作放在了高更的卧室里,故选A。

答案:A

3. How did Gauguin feel about Van Gogh’s painting—the Sunflowers?

A. Very bad.　　　　B. Just so-so.

A. Van Gogh was not good at painting large Sunflowers.　

B. Van Gogh had much trouble in painting the Sunflowers.
