It migrates only short distances south in autumn, most of the population wintering in northern latitudes at the edge of the pack ice in the northern Bering Sea and in the Sea of Okhotsk. This juvenile Ross's Gull was photographed on January 30, 2018 in a small Dutch fishing village of Vlissingen, Netherlands, which was extremely unusual for this gull to be this far south from the Arctic. Since this is an extremely rare sighting it was submitted for verification and acceptance into the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Macauley Library. After many months of review by the staff at the Macauley Library, it was approved and will now remain a permanent part of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology! www.cnyartguild.com PAGE 3 Member Exhibits Who: Cynthia Wells, Bev Lay and Terri Nelson 2018-2019 What: The Clayscapes Student Show Where: Clayscapes Pottery, Inc.

As his work developed he created a new stolen from Cairo’s approach to still lifes and local landscapes.

Signed on verso, ‘Vincent’ New York Private Collection Auvers,1890, Vincent van Gogh This is the discovery of a full-size van Gogh painting, one of only two in the past 100 years. The work depicts a view of a landscape at Auvers-sur-Oise, the town north of Paris where he spent the last two months of his life. The vista shows a railroad line crossing wheat fields. Auvers, 1890 (Figs. 1-13) is van Gogh’s largest and only square painting. This unique format was chosen to represent a panorama of the wheat fields of the region, of which parts are shown in many of his other paintings of the Auvers landscape. The present painting portrays the entire valley of the Oise as a mosaic of wheat fields, bisected by the right of way of a railway and a telegraph line. The center depicts a small railway station with station houses and a rail shunt, the line disappearing into the distant horizon. The painting is in its original, untouched ondition.c The support is coarse burlap on the original stretcher. The paint surface is a thick impasto that has an overall broad grid pattern of craquelure consistent with a painting of its age. The verso of the painting bears the artist’s signature, Vincent, in black pigment.

  • Vincent Van Gogh the Starry Night
    Richard Thomson Vincent van Gogh The Starry Night the museum of modern art, new york The Starry Night without doubt, vincent van gogh’s painting the starry night (fig. 1) is an iconic image of modern culture. One of the beacons of The Museum of Modern Art, every day it draws thousands of visitors who want to gaze at it, be instructed about it, or be photographed in front of it. The picture has a far-flung and flexible identity in our collective musée imaginaire, whether in material form decorating a tie or T-shirt, as a visual quotation in a book cover or caricature, or as a ubiquitously understood allusion to anguish in a sentimental popular song. Starry Night belongs in the front rank of the modern cultural vernacular. This is rather a surprising status to have been achieved by a painting that was executed with neither fanfare nor much explanation in Van Gogh’s own correspondence, that on reflection the artist found did not satisfy him, and that displeased his crucial supporter and primary critic, his brother Theo. Starry Night was painted in June 1889, at a period of great complexity in Vincent’s life. Living at the asylum of Saint-Rémy in the south of France, a Dutchman in Provence, he was cut off from his country, family, and fellow artists. His isolation was enhanced by his state of health, psychologically fragile and erratic. Yet for all these taxing disadvantages, Van Gogh was determined to fulfill himself as an artist, the road that he had taken in 1880.

    Some of the art seen on the walls in “Library Mouse, a Museum Adventure” is my interpretation of real paintings, meant to resemble the art as closely as possible so that children can recognize the source material. Other paintings in my book are “parodies” of famous paintings, substituting mouse heads for the humans originally found in the artwork!

  • Vincent Van Gogh, Who Grew up Walking the Dutch Countryside
    "Sorrowful yet always rejoicing," Vincent van Gogh, who grew up walking the Dutch countryside, traveled through life seeking the eternal "Light that rises in the darkness"- like these swans readying for flight south of Amsterdam. From the pain and beauty of his journey, he created masterworks of passion, including penetrating self-portraits, such as this one at age 34. Van Gogh likened painting to performing music. "Whether I really sang a lullaby in colors," he wrote, "I leave to the critics." National Geographic, October, 1997 By JOEL L. SWERDLOW, ASSISTANT EDITOR Photographs by LYNN JOHNSON THE LETTERS FROM VINCENT VAN GOGH to his brother Theo are yellowed. Some are torn at the corners or have holes from aging. Acid from ink eats through the cheap paper. I have come to this bombproof vault in the cellar of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam to begin my search for Vincent. Who was this man who said he "sang a lullaby in colors:' and why does he have such a hold on us? His paintings sell for the most money; his exhibitions attract the highest number of visitors; reproductions of his work-on socks, sheets, party napkins, coffee cups-permeate homes and offices; the song "Vincent" has sold more than ten million copies since 1971; movies mythologize his life. No other artist, at any time in any culture, has been more popular. THE 650 LETTERS from Vincent to Theo fill three volumes. Their first surprise is immediate: I knew that Theo financed Vincent's painting and had assumed Theo was the big brother.

    Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam 2002 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012200201_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 7 Director's foreword In 2003 the Van Gogh Museum will have been in existence for 30 years. Our museum is thus still a relative newcomer on the international scene. Nonetheless, in this fairly short period, the Van Gogh Museum has established itself as one of the liveliest institutions of its kind, with a growing reputation for its collections, exhibitions and research programmes. The past year has been marked by particular success: the Van Gogh and Gauguin exhibition attracted record numbers of visitors to its Amsterdam venue. And in this Journal we publish our latest acquisitions, including Manet's The jetty at Boulogne-sur-mer, the first important work by this artist to enter any Dutch public collection. By a happy coincidence, our 30th anniversary coincides with the 150th of the birth of Vincent van Gogh. As we approach this milestone it seemed to us a good moment to reflect on the current state of Van Gogh studies. For this issue of the Journal we asked a number of experts to look back on the most significant developments in Van Gogh research since the last major anniversary in 1990, the centenary of the artist's death. Our authors were asked to filter a mass of published material in differing areas, from exhibition publications to writings about fakes and forgeries. To complement this, we also invited a number of specialists to write a short piece on one picture from our collection, an exercise that is intended to evoke the variety and resourcefulness of current writing on Van Gogh.

  • Vincent Van Gogh in Arles
    VINCENT VAN GOGH IN ARLES “Van Gogh sur la route de Tarascon” Known also as “The painter on his way to work”, July 1888, 48 x 44 cm Formerly in the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum, Magdeburg, Germany (Destroyed by fire in 1945) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vincent_Van_Gogh_0013.jpg A Walk-Around of Selected Sites L. M. Boring Membre de l’Association des Artistes Alpicois, Le Pecq 28 February 2019 Vincent Van Gogh arrived in Arles by train on Monday, February 20, 1888, with an idea to found an artist colony in the south “Wishing to see a different light, thinking that looking at nature under a bright sky might give us a better idea of the Japanese way of feeling and drawing. Wishing also to see this stronger sun, because one could not understand Delacroix’s pictures from the point of view of execution and technique without knowing it, and because one feels that the colors of the prism are veiled in the mist of the North.” Oddly and by happenstance, when he arrived, he found the countryside covered in snow, and among his first paintings were soft landscapes of snow covered fields. He found lodging in the Hotel-Restaurant Carrel, but his stay ended badly over a billing dispute after only two months. Vincent signed a lease on May 1st for a small four-room two-story semi-detached house on the Place Lamartine, not far from the train station. Its stucco exterior was bright ochre, and it became known by Van Gogh’s paintings as La Maison Jaune, the Yellow House.
