Van Gogh’s Sunflowers Were Genetic Mutants
Sunflowers are a consistent theme in van Gogh’s body of work, some examples of which are today worth tens of millions of dollars. But the flowers he painted often differ from the common gold blooms we are used to seeing. Was this just impressionist license? A result of his dementia?
University of Georgia researchers think they have tracked his “teddy-bear” blooms to a set of genetic mutations that are common in sunflowers. They weren’t able to cross-breed the green-centered, fluffy varieties of van Gogh’s paintings, but they think that all the mutations to do so are out there in the wild.
Bonus: Today, March 30, is Vincent van Gogh’s birthday! He’d be 162. If he weren’t in space, cloned and held prisoner by NASA, animating ocean currents like they were in ”Starry Night”.
