Which paintings did Van Gogh show at the Independents exhibition in Paris in 1889?
The fifth exhibition of the Société des Artistes Indépendants was held in Paris from 3 September to 4 October 1889. Vincent van Gogh sent Starry Night over the Rhône and Irises, two masterpieces that he made in Arles in 1888 en Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in 1889.
"I just think that we must still keep calm regarding my own painting. If you want some I can certainly send them to you now, but when calm returns to me I hope to do something else. In any case, as regards the Independents, do what seems best to you and what the others will do.”
