In this artwork, how is the abstract discussed?
Interior of a Restaurant in Arles is a colored oil painting by Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh on an industrially primed canvas of size 25 (Toile de 25 figure) in Arles, France, late August, 1888.
Accurately dating Interior of a Restaurant in Arles has been difficult, largely because van Gogh never mentioned it in any existing letter. Pierre Leprohon placed it in late August, 1888, due in part to the blossoming sunflowers; this has been generally accepted by authorities such as 20th century van Gogh scholar Jan Hulsker. It is one of two studies van Gogh created of the restaurant, the other being Interior of the Restaurant Carrel in Arles. Long assumed to be a view from inside the Hotel Carrel, de la Faille remarks they were probably the interior of the restaurant next to the Yellow House.
