Why is he thinking about Ukraine
"Wheatfield with Crows", 1890. His last painting.
It’s called humor, look it up.
Sans the crows, that’s exactly what the Ukraine flag is said to resemble.
This is a picture from Kherson Oblast, Ukraine, found on the Wikipedia page on the Flag of Ukraine. I know it likely wasn’t what he used for inspiration since wheat fields and blue skies aren’t exclusive to the Ukraine, but I thought it was funny.
