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.
As the name suggests (from the Greek word Î³ÎµÏÏÎ³Î¹ÎºÎ¬, geÅrgika, i.e. agricultural (things)) the subject of the poem is agriculture; but far from being an example of peaceful rural poetry, it is a work characterized by tensions in both theme and purpose.
