Vincent van Gogh, Two Peasant Women, 1890

Van Gogh used the women from Millet's The Gleaners as inspiration for this painting of women digging in the frozen snow. Unlike the others, this work is not a literal translation of the original painting. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the fields of snow. The cool colors of the field contrast to the red in the sun and sky. Jan Hulsker places the painting as one of van Gogh's "reminisces of the North".[1]

Economics, John Kenneth Galbraith

Economics, John Kenneth Galbraith

"Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment for economists."

- John Kenneth Galbraith

This is a humorous take on economics, suggesting that while economic theories and models are complex and often debated, their practical value can sometimes seem more beneficial to economists than to society at large.

Vincent van Gogh, Snow-Covered Field with a Harrow (after Millet), January 1890

Van Gogh used Millet's work, and Alfred Delaunay's etching of Millet's work, as inspiration for this painting. In Van Gogh's version he added black crows and made the winter scene more bleak, deserted and cold. His choice of color, composition and brushstroke make this work uniquely his own.[1]
