Recorded in the spellings of Minor, Minors, Miner, Miners, the French Huguenot Minier, and its possible variant Minear, this is an English surname of French origins.
Green Wheat Fields, Auvers was painted during Van Goghâs final months in Auvers-sur-Oise, a village just north of Paris. This work is a âpure landscapeâ in that there is no visible motif beyond the grassy field, road, and sky; there are no animals or figures, but instead lush flora whipped up by the wind.
That the field is âEcchoingâ indicates that this scene, like the season of spring itself, has played out before and will play out again and again in the future. In the second stanza, time has progressed. The older people remember their youth, as these children will someday be reminded of it by their own descendants.
