Van Gogh's impasto technique has been a subject of academic research and statistical analyses. By shooting at a shallow angle, I attempted to capture the topology created by the paint that a straight-on photography cannot convey.
Go here to view the painting "Green Wheat Fields, Auvers" which is at the National Gallery of Arts in DC.
