Vincent van Gogh , among other matter , was a prolific puma . He created 85 oil paintings of women , 70 of flowers , 42 of wheat fields , and 38 of his own image . The Post - Impressionist passe-partout ’s near 900 crude paintings can now be seen all in one lieu , thanks to a unexampled wall graph fromCurious Charts .
In this “ Visual Taxonomy of Van Gogh , ” the painter ’s oeuvre is organized into a few category , like still life sentence and landscape , and further broken down into subcategories such as water and bridges , wheat , and trees . Timothy Sanders , who runs Curious Charts with his wife , Aurélia , said he started out by organizing Van Gogh ’s industrial plant into category in an Excel spreadsheet .
“ When we had the melodic theme of trying to fit all of Van Gogh ’s painting , which is almost 900 in aggregate , onto a single placard - sized chart , it was really exciting , ” he says in the video recording below . “ But as we quickly happen upon , there were a sight of challenges . ”
Size and spacing were the biggest event , and the 24 - in - by-36 - in poster take three months to make . There are notations underneath each image specifying the title of the piece of work and the year it was painted .
The Sanders duo is promote funds for the project viaKickstarter , and so far they ’ve raised nearly $ 1500 of their $ 2000 goal . The fundraising campaign ends June 14 .
