The comprehensive news of this newspaper is that the Dutch painter Van Gogh is famous. Now, Van Gogh's fans have another admirer, and they are bumblebees.
According to a newly published scientific experiment, a group of selected bumblebees prefer to fall on the painter's "sunflower" painting rather than stay on other equally bright paintings.
The experimenter said that these bumblebees were cultivated in the laboratory. They haven't seen real flowers, so they won't make choices based on past memories. Scientists placed replicas of four famous paintings on the flight path of bees: Sunflower by Van Gogh, A Bottle of Flowers by Gauguin and French cubist painter Fernand.

Van Gogh is famous for expressing fanatical feelings with brilliant colors and unrestrained brushwork. But he is different from impressionism. Impressionism captures the beauty of the appearance of objects, while van Gogh loves the essence of objects, and he tries to penetrate into the interior of objects and occupy all of them. Impressionism loves light, and Van Gogh loves not light, but the shining sun. Almost every work of Van Gogh reveals the author's heart beating.
Van Gogh painted sunflowers tirelessly. He said, "How beautiful yellow is!" This is not only a reflection of the painter's feelings, but also a feeling of religious belief. To him, yellow symbolizes the light, light and heat of the sun. The sunflower in his eyes is not an ordinary flower. When I first saw his Sunflower, I immediately felt how small I was! Those who have seen Van Gogh's Sunflowers will never be confused and diluted by countless sunflowers in the world!
(thanks to the master! My painting "Van Gogh's Sunflower" gives me "the beauty of hitting my face" as soon as I enter the house every day.
You see, Van Gogh's sunflowers are deeply rooted in people's hearts, and they are all burned in some people's cars. )
Vincent Van Gogh created 1 1 sunflowers in his life, of which 10 was scattered all over the country after his death. At present, only one is exhibited in Van Gogh Art Museum. (This data remains to be discussed, because there are genuine products coming out constantly, and many fakes have been proved at the same time. )
Sunflower, the incarnation of Van Gogh, is only composed of gorgeous yellow. Van Gogh believes that yellow represents the color of the sun, and sunlight symbolizes love, so it has special significance. He used all kinds of flowers to express himself in Sunflower, and sometimes even compared himself to a sunflower. In his letter to his younger brother Theo, Van Gogh talked many times about the series of sunflower works, which are represented by two compositions: Twelve Sunflowers and Fourteen Sunflowers. He used 12 to represent the twelve disciples of Christ, and he also designated the members of the Southern Studio (Friends' House) as 12. Together with himself and his brother Theo, it became a *** 14.

Van Gogh's 16 sunflowers in different shapes are gorgeous and withered, or hidden or present, with light yellow as the background color and dark yellow as the main color of sunflowers. Other flowers are not decorated with light black, giving people a strong color contrast. The whole picture gives people a bright and strong vitality, making people feel that life is full of hope, the sunshine is so bright and the sky is so vast. Many of Van Gogh's sunflower-themed works have been pounding my mind. Why did a painter who loves sunflowers so much choose to go to the end of his life because he despised life so much?

Sunflower is the sunshine of the sun, the symbol of light and heat, the portrayal of inner emotional fire, the expression of loving life and choosing life, but why it has become the epitome of Van Gogh's miserable life! He himself has become a traitor to sunflower, so it seems that there is no contradiction between loving life and choosing to perish. As a painter, Van Gogh achieved art, but despised life. The international auction price of sunflowers is getting higher and higher. 1987, at the London auction, a sunflower by Van Gogh was bought by the Japanese for $39.9 million, which shocked the whole world. Great commercial value, whether it is the arty of the rich or the sunflower, has really found someone who will appreciate it. However, the huge commercial interests are indeed a great irony compared with Van Gogh's selling paintings before his death.
Van Gogh's masterpiece Sunflower has always been one of the famous paintings praised by people. It is understood that this "sunflower" won another honor, attracting bees to stop on stamens. According to the British "Times" report, Queen Mary College, University of London, England has done an interesting study: let a group of bees who have never seen real flowers "appreciate" the color replicas of four famous paintings and see how the bees react. It turns out that Van Gogh's oil painting Sunflower is particularly popular with bees. Bees have stopped on the "sunflower" many times, trying to taste the "nectar" in it. Among the four famous paintings, there are two paintings of Flowers, Van Gogh's Sunflower, and Paul? Gauguin's A Bottle of Flowers; There are also two colorful oil paintings that are not flowers. Patrick? Fernand, Kauffeld's pottery? Legg's quiet life and beer glasses. The results showed that bees flew to the sunflower 146 times and stopped at it 15 times in the same time. It takes 8/kloc-0 to fly to a bottle, and stops at 1 1 time. But rarely stay in the other two paintings.
For Van Gogh, sunflower is the best theme to express his thoughts. Summer is short, and the flowering period of sunflowers is not long. Van Gogh also ended his short life like a sunflower, so it should be appropriate to call him a sunflower painter.
