Although he considered the painting more a study than a finished picture, his brother Theo submitted it to the Salon des Ind駱endants in September 1889. Its energy and theme--the regenerative powers of the earth--express the artist's deeply held belief in the divinity of art and nature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This groundbreaking book fills a gap in Van Gogh scholarship with an in-depth study of \u003ci\u003eIrises\u003c\/i\u003e--among the J.
