Show V How much do y ou sewhen y ou look at this painting? Think about it for a moment, then read the paragraph below, from THE WORLD OF VAN GOGH Signs of Van Gogh's grief and his fears abound in this emotional work. The sky is a deep, angry blue that overpowers the two clouds on the horizon. The foreground is uncertain an crossroad. A dirt path seen in part in the foreground runs blindly off both sides of the canvas; a grass track curves into the wheat field only to disappear at a dead end. The wheat itself rises like an angry sea to contend with the stormy sky. Crows flapping over the tumult swarm toward the viewer. Even the perspective contributes to this effect; the horizon rolls relentlessly forward. In this picture Van Gogh painted what he must have felt that the world was closing in on him and his roads of escape were blocked, with the land rising up and the sky glowering down. Created in the artists deepest anxiety, the painting nevertheless reveals Van Goghs power, his expressive use of color and firm sense of corSposition.
