Vincent Van Gogh - Sunflowers

Odilon Redon French, 1840 -1916 "Haunting" 1893-4 Lithograph; fifth (final) state A ghostly female figure walks -or floats- in a trancelike state. The long ends of her headscarf billow as if moved by a mysterious breeze, while strange forms emerge from the darkness and hover around her.
