Couples in the Voyer d'Argenson Park at Asnières Van Gogh's painting Couples in the Voyer d'Argenson Park at Asnières (F314) was referred to by the artist as "the painting of the garden with sweethearts."  The title at the Van Gogh Museum is Garden with courting couples: Square Saint-Pierre, 1887.The summer park scene, one of his largest canvases, was one of the first paintings that van Gogh exhibited in Paris.  Here he integrated what he had learned of Impressionism and Pointillism into his own version of Pointillism.  He used a combination of carefully placed small dots and more expressive dashes, like those in the sky, of varying color placed side by side into what is considered his most pointillistic painting. Van Gogh used Divisionism techniques to paint woven fabrics, such as the couple in an Asnières park who share an interlocking pattern in their woven clothes.  He collected yarn in different colors and tones to test color contrasts, just as Michel Eugène Chevreul had when he developed his theory on complementary color.  The Van Gogh Museum claims that the painting was made in or near Montmartre which about 7 kilometers from Asnières.
