A sower strides through a violet field beneath a vast yellow sun, a dark tree slanting across the sky: Vincent van Gogh's The Sower on the poster for Van Gogh to Kandinsky at the Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh, in 2012.
The Piece
The exhibition, subtitled Symbolist Landscape in Europe 1880 to 1910, ran from 14 July to 14 October 2012 on The Mound in Edinburgh, and traced how painters from Van Gogh to Kandinsky used landscape to carry feeling and ideas rather than simply describe a place. Van Gogh's Sower of 1888, painted in Arles, was the natural emblem: the setting sun becomes a halo, the field a sea of broken colour, and the figure a symbol of work and renewal.
The poster runs the painting edge to edge, with the title set in pale lettering at the top left and the gallery name, dates and sponsors at the right.
The poster is unsigned and an open edition. It is described as a European museum's exhibition poster, acquired from the publisher, and kept unused since.
