In 1889, just one week after committing himself to the asylum at Saint Paul-de-Mausole in Saint-Remy, France, Vincent Van Gogh began painting the Irises. While he thought it was just a study, Van Gogh's brother, Theo, wrote that this painting of the Irises "strikes the eye from afar. The Irises are a beautiful study full of air and life."

The Irises were inspired by Japanese wood blocks, which can be seen in the use of the black contour lines in the painting.Also Available:

As long as it functions well, I go for style.

Function

Tipi says:

I want all of these just to look at...otherwise its function...or staying out of the rain!

I'm mpretty much of a plain Jane ... so are my umbrellas, but I sure do like to look at the pretty ones.

RStiltskin says:

Just wanna be dry

lilymom24 says:

I would have to say the bigger reason for buying an umbrella is function for me.
