Although Van Gogh's sunflower paintings are very similar in many aspects, each stands out as its own unique work of art. Van Gogh began painting sunflowers after he left Holland for France in pursuit of creating an artistic community.The firsts were created to decorate his friend Paul Gauguin's bedroom. The majority of Van Gogh's sunflowers in vases were created in Arles, France during 1888-1889.Van Gogh did create some sunflower paintings prior to this time though in Paris, France around the time of 1887.ithout the vibrancy of the new colors, such as chrome yellow, Van Gogh may never have achieved the intensity of Sunflowers..
