You will need Gardner’s Art through the Ages: Backpack Edition, Book E: Modern Europe and America, 15th Edition. You will need this exact edition because you need to cite pages you use from there in the assignment. It does not allow me to share my textbook or take screenshots from it, so that’s why it is important you have this textbook because I can not provide any material.
In a short paper of at least one (1) page (double spaced) that includes references to the textbook and the assigned viewing for the week, describe Vincent van Gogh’s work Wheatfield with Crows (1890) in your own words. What stands out to you? Why? Then reflect on how the painting illustrates both van Gogh’s individual experience as well as some of the broader elements of Post-Impressionism.
