Look at the work
The Provençal evening becomes a construction of red, yellow and blue
The gnarled trunks occupy the midline and their young branches rise to the upper edge. The sun, placed between two trees, radiates in short touches which seem to push the entire sky outwards.
In the foreground, red and orange grasses are crossed with green, yellow and black lines. Behind the willows, a very light blue band separates the field from the sky and could represent the distant Alpilles.
Tadpole Willows at Sunset is an oil on canvas mounted on 31.6 × 34.3 cm cardboard painted in Arles in March 1888. The work F572/JH1597 is kept at the Kroeller-Müller Museum under number KM 107.313.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The Kroeller-Müller Museum notice links this landscape to the first studies carried out shortly after Van Gogh's arrival in Arles. Color does not slavishly imitate nature: it must transmit emotion and an ardent temperament.
01
Dark willows cut out the light
Their blue-black trunks and irregular branches screen in front of the sky. This contrast gives the sun an intensity much greater than its actual small size in the canvas.
02
The field is painted as a moving surface
Long, short, straight and oblique lines overlap without being melted. Each grass becomes a direction, and the whole vibrates the foreground.
03
The blue stripe suddenly opens up the depth
Placed between warm lands and orange skies, it cools the horizon and moves away possible mountains. A few centimeters of color are enough to enlarge the landscape.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The dimensions 31.6 × 34.3 cm, the KM 107.313 inventory and the references F572/JH1597 precisely identify this small, almost square composition dedicated to tadpole willows.
Spring
The trees are just starting to bear new leaves
The museum places the scene in March, when young shoots appear on the pruned branches. The green touches thus respond to the awakening of the vegetation.
Japan
The clarity of the South reminds Van Gogh of Japanese prints
In his correspondence, he brings together the Provençal atmosphere, the joyful color effects and the sharp shots of the Japanese images he collected in Paris.
Support
A canvas fixed on cardboard for a very compact format
The small support of 31.6 × 34.3 cm favors rapid study, but Van Gogh condenses a particularly strong chromatic range and material.
The copy must retain the three black blue trunks, the yellow solar disk, the orange rays, the thin blue band of the horizon and the red grasses worked in several directions.
