Literature:

Known for the thick impasto paint that has become a signature of the artist’s style, the stalks and petals of the Sunflower in this painting are imbued with a sculpture like quality due to the thickness of the paint medium. In adopting this manner of depiction, the subject matter appears to emerge from a two dimensional space, thus confounding the viewer’s perspective.
