Description
Famous Painting Theme
“Vase with Chinese Asters and Gladioli” was created in 1886, during Van Gogh’s time in Paris. The overall tone of the painting is warm, with bright and saturated hues of red and pink, depicting lively and vibrant flowers.
The playing cards are designed with this oil painting as the visual theme, with abundant and colorful floral patterns covering the entire deck, showcasing intense and sophisticated colors.
Artistic Appreciation
The card box features a pure white background, with the primary color being pink derived from the original painting, adorned with yellow flower centers, and the elegant and delicate English font for the flower names.
The overall atmosphere is vivid and cheerful, with the sweet pink tones balancing the exuberance of the flowers, allowing players to immediately perceive the artistic sensibility and elegance from Van Gogh’s original artwork.
Cardistry
The card back continues the design from the card box, featuring Van Gogh’s famous work “Vase with Chinese Asters and Gladioli.” A large area of low-saturation warm pink occupies the entire image, with the eye-catching tender yellow flower at the center providing a central positioning effect. The symmetrical design is perfectly in line with the aesthetic and usage habits of playing card enthusiasts.
Almost every flower forms a coherent waistline, unfolding layers of Chinese asters and gladioli in the hands of the player, exuding a sense of freedom and romance that no one can resist.
Exquisite Design
The card face continues the hand-drawn visual of the art gallery series, mimicking Van Gogh’s brushwork and style.
The detail design has been adjusted according to the new theme, with the waistline from the painting “Vase with Chinese Asters and Gladioli” drawn in the center of the white background.
The vivid colors and images not only enrich the visual experience of the cards but also emphasize the visual effects in card usage (such as fanning and spreading). At the same time, the white background of the card face harmonizes with the card back in terms of color.
Limited Edition
The new edition of “Asters & Phlox” is printed by USPCC and maintains unquestionable high standards in terms of artistic appreciation, touch, and quality.
Limited to 1000 decks, each comes with a unique numbered seal, making it highly recommended for both cardistry and collection purposes.
