"Si quieres puedes exponer las dos telas de girasoles
...Tu sabes que Gauguin, por otra parte, gusta de ellas extraordinariamente. Él me ha dicho, entre otras cosas: " esto...es...la flor ".
Sabes que Jeannin posee la peonia, que Quost posee la malvarrosa; pero yo poseo un poco el girasol..."
Vincent a Theo, Arles, enero 23 1889
" If you like you can exhibit the two pictures of sunflowers. ...Besides, you know, Gauguin likes them extraordinarily. He said to me among other things – "That...it's...the flower."You know that the peony is Jeannin's, the hollyhock belongs to Quost, but the sunflower is somewhat my own."
Vincent to Theo, Arles, january 23, 1889
