This series was an exercise in extending realistic scenes with colors and shapes that reinforce or alter the original scenes. The original artist, Jean-François Millet, was a great source of inspiration for Vincent van Gogh who remade several of Millet’s paintings in his own style. Here, the choice of Millet was driven by the desire to start from paintings or photos with a clear realistic composition, in color, without blatant symbolism, as well as copyright-free.
