His work, which is notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold color, had a deep and profound impact on 20th Van Gogh Paintings: The Masterpieces art. Gachetwhich he painted a few months before his death in July Vincent was a fan of Japanese art especially of the woodblock print genre Ukiyo-e and influence of Ukiyo-e can be seen in this famous work which was held in high esteem by the artist. Wheatfield Van Gogh Paintings: The Masterpieces Cypresses is the title of three paintings by Van Gogh which are very similar in composition. The above painting is the first of the three and was completed in July Van Gogh, who had a fondness for cypresses and wheat fields, regarded the painting as one of his best landscape paintings and hence went on to create two more similar works. This painting is the first version of three similar paintings which are referred to as Bedroom in Arles and were simply titled The Bedroom by Vincent. The three paintings can be differentiated by the pictures hanging on the wall to the right. Vincent van Gogh is famous for his self-portraits. He painted over 30 of them during his life. This one is famous for the story behind it. After an incident with another prominent painter of the time, Van Gogh Paintings: The Masterpieces GauguinVan Gogh cut off part of his own left year with a razor. This is one of the two self-portraits he painted after the incident. It is to be noted that it was his left ear that was bandaged; it appears right as Van Gogh has used a mirror to paint the portrait. Also known as The Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forumthis was the first Van Gogh Paintings: The Masterpieces in which the artist used starry background. Visitors can still stand at the northeastern corner of the Place du Forum and view the scene depicted by Van Gogh. Cafe Terrace at Night Van Gogh Paintings: The Masterpieces one of the most analyzed paintings by Van Gogh and it is debated whether it is an innovative depiction of Last Supper. There are several references to the painting in popular culture and a cafe in Croatia was redesigned to look like the cafe in the painting. Paul-Ferdinand Gachet was a French physician who treated Van Gogh during the last months of his life. This portrait of him is one of the most revered paintings by Van Gogh. There are two versions of the portrait and this is the first version. To date it remains the highest price paid for art at a public auction. On the Van Gogh Paintings: The Masterpieces adjusted list of most expensive paintings ever sold, Portrait of Dr. Gachet ranks sixth to this day. Its record stood for about two and a half years and as of today it ranks 15 in the list of most expensive paintings ever sold if you adjust for inflation. The paintings are well known for depicting the natural beauty of the flowers and for their vibrant colors. The painting is considered among the greatest works in western art and is definitely the most famous work of Vincent Van Gogh. I was able to find two volumes of the complete work of Vincent. I am an artist and I love to sit and look at his work. These two volumes reproduce the colors so well. Wonderful collection Anirudh….

  • VINCENT VAN GOGH Y EL CINE Moisés BAZÁN DE HUERTA Desde
    NORBA-ARTE XVII (1997) / 233-259 VINCENT VAN GOGH Y EL CINE Moisés BAZÁN DE HUERTA Desde su nacimiento, la relación del cine con las artes plásticas se ha manifes- tado en los más variados aspectos. De la influencia pictórica en el cromatismo y la configuración espacial del plano (encuadre, composición, perspectiva, profundierad), al diverso tratamiento del tiempo y los mecanismos narrativos en ambos campos; además de las bŭsquedas experimentales de las vanguardias y sus interferencias, el documental sobre arte como género, o la tradición artística como apoyo para la re- creación histórica o religiosa. También la propia pintura ha sido tratada temática- mente o como punto de partida para la reflexión sobre el proceso creativo Pero en el amplio abanico de posibilidades de esta relación, las biografías ci- nematográficas sobre artistas han sido uno de los exponentes más fructíferos, has- ta el punto de constituir casi un género propio. Dejando aparte m ŭsicos, cantantes, literatos, actores, y cifiéndonos al campo de las artes plásticas, la nómina de bio- grafiados resulta considerable: Andrei Rublev, Leonardo, Miguel Ángel, El Greco, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Velázquez, Utamaro, Fragonard, Goya, Gericault, Toulouse- Lautrec, Gauguin, Camille Claudel, Rodin, Gaudí, Pirosmani, Munch, -Carrington, Modigliani, Gaudier-Brzeska, Picasso, Dali, Goitia, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Jean Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol o Francis Bacon, entre otros, han sido objeto de re- creaciones fílmicas, aunque bastante desiguales en su calidad y planteamiento. En esta relación, como vemos, predominan las trayectorias geniales, azarosas, apasionadas y con frecuencia trágicas, es decir, las susceptibles de un desarrollo dra- mático que capte la atención y el interés del p ŭblico.

  • To Theo Van Gogh and Jo Van Gogh-Bonger. Auvers-Sur-Oise, Sunday, 25 May 1890
    To Theo van Gogh and Jo van Gogh-Bonger. Auvers-sur-Oise, Sunday, 25 May 1890. Sunday, 25 May 1890 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. no. b686 V/1962 Date: On Monday, 2 June Theo wrote that he had wanted to reply earlier to the present letter, which must have been written shortly before a Tuesday (see l. 4). Van Gogh remarks that it has been raining yesterday and today (ll. 53-54). This must have been Saturday, 24 and Sunday, 25 May (Mto-France). On the basis of this information we have dated the letter to Sunday, 25 May 1890. On the same day Theo recorded in his account book the 50 francs for which Vincent thanks him in the first lines of the present letter (see Account book 2002, p. 45). See also Hulsker 1998, p. 51. Additional: This letter, which confirms the receipt this morning (ll. 1*-2) of the money Theo sent, most likely caused Vincent to decide not to send RM20 (this explains why the two letters contain several identical passages). Van Gogh enclosed a letter for Isacson (cf. RM21). Original [1r:1] Mon cher Theo, ma chre Jo, merci de ta lettre que jai reue ce matin1 et des cinquante francs qui sy trouvaient. Aujourdhui jai revu le Dr Gachet et je vais peindre chez lui Mardi matin puis je dinerais avec lui et aprs il viendrait voir ma peinture. Il me parait trs raisonable mais est aussi decourag dans son metier de mdecin de campagne que moi de ma peinture.

The contents of the drawer grew as new letters arrived on a nearly weekly basis. After Vincent's death, in July of the following year, Theo spoke with Jo, as well as with others, such as the critic Albert Aurier, about the publication of the letters, but his own sickness and death, only six months later, put an end to these discussions.

  • The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh
    THE LETTERS OF VINCENT VAN GOGH ‘Van Gogh’s letters… are one of the greatest joys of modern literature, not only for the inherent beauty of the prose and the sharpness of the observations but also for their portrait of the artist as a man wholly and selessly devoted to the work he had to set himself to’ - Washington Post ‘Fascinating… letter after letter sizzles with colorful, exacting descriptions … This absorbing collection elaborates yet another side of this beuiling and brilliant artist’ - The New York Times Book Review ‘Ronald de Leeuw’s magnicent achievement here is to make the letters accessible in English to general readers rather than art historians, in a new translation so excellent I found myself reading even the well-known letters as if for the rst time… It will be surprising if a more impressive volume of letters appears this year’ — Observer ‘Any selection of Van Gogh’s letters is bound to be full of marvellous things, and this is no exception’ — Sunday Telegraph ‘With this new translation of Van Gogh’s letters, his literary brilliance and his statement of what amounts to prophetic art theories will remain as a force in literary and art history’ — Philadelphia Inquirer ‘De Leeuw’s collection is likely to remain the denitive volume for many years, both for the excellent selection and for the accurate translation’ - The Times Literary Supplement ‘Vincent’s letters are a journal, a meditative autobiography… You are able to take in Vincent’s extraordinary literary qualities … Unputdownable’ - Daily Telegraph ABOUT THE AUTHOR, EDITOR AND TRANSLATOR VINCENT WILLEM VAN GOGH was born in Holland in 1853.

Van Gogh celebrates the peasant workers who toil in this vineyard in southern France. They enjoy the open air and sunshine the artist loved. Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), THE RED VINEYARD (1888). Oil on canvas. 29.5” x 36.3”. Puskin Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow, Russia. Photo: Scala / Art Resource. Used by permission. Copyright © 2015 Institute for Faith and Learning at Baylor University 43 Working in Fields of Sunshine BY HEIDI J. HORNIK he workers depicted here by Vincent van Gogh are the subject of the only painting by the artist known to have been purchased during This lifetime. It is believed that he painted the vineyard from memory. Van Gogh had worked and studied in London, Antwerp, and The Hague. But it is not until seeing the paintings of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists in Paris that he changed his palette dramatically in 1887 to use brighter, less opaque colors. Like the Impressionists, he painted from life, preferred the use of natural light, and employed the synthetic evocation of color through Divisionism (the juxtaposition of small touches of pure, unmixed pigment directly on the canvas). This last characteristic became the expressive trademark of his later works.1 In February 1888, Van Gogh left the bustle of Paris to live in Arles, a small town in southern France. He was inspired by Jean-Francois Millet’s paintings that focused on the work of the common peasant. Van Gogh enjoyed studying the workers as he viewed the golden wheat fields, the blossoming orchards, and sunflowers that appear in his later and most famous paintings.

  • Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002
    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.

  • Lasting Impressions
    The Movement The ideas of Impressionism can be traced to the 1860s when Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and others pursued “en plein air” (painting in open air) together. John Rand’s radical invention of paint tubes allowed such a move. New bright, synthetic colors opened a new world for the painters. In 1874, an expanded group of these painters took the art world by storm. Ignoring the Académie des Beaux-Arts’ Salon de Paris, (the official exhibition and influencer of the art world), this ragtag bunch pooled their money and their works, rented a studio, and set a date. Calling themselves the Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Printmakers, they opened against the annual Salon in May 1874. The art world, and our world, was forever changed. Originally a pejorative term, Impressionism shook the art world to its roots. Critics said the works seemed unfinished and were just “impressions.” What they did not understand was that cameras could now capture realism and the artist was freed to show us their own piercing perceptions. Impressionism is considered the first modern movement in painting. Over time, this style became widely accepted— even by the Salon—as the way to present modern life. Loose brushwork of unblended primary colors, short brushstrokes that often only outline that which they represent, and always, the impact of the light. Never simply black and white, shadows are rendered in highlights of color. Impressionists strove to depict a specific moment in time by capturing atmospheric conditions— moving clouds, a ray of sun, a sudden fall of rain.

  • Van Gogh's Bedroom Paintings at the Art Institute of Chicago
    Van Gogh's Bedroom Paintings at The Art Institute of Chicago Van Gogh's Bedroom in Arles Van Gogh traveled to France to the city of Arles, where he was planning to set up a studio for artists. His friend Paul Gauguin was going to join him there. He was excited and full of hope. He painted many things he saw around him. After sending the bedroom painting to his brother, it became slightly damaged from a flood, so he painted it again. A little while later, he painted the same painting for his mother. In all, he painted three bedroom paintings, all nearly identical. Learn more about Van Gogh's bedrooms and the scientific tools used by researchers. http://extras.artic.edu/van-gogh-bedrooms/videos These balls of yarn were used by van Gogh to test our color combinations. This was an actual palette used by Vincent van Gogh! PERSPECTIVE PERSPECTIVE Perspective is a way to show the three-dimensional world on a flat surface of paper. Perspective shows the world in a realistic and natural way, with space and depth. The rules of perspective started during the Renaissance. Before that, there wasn't an expectation of the artwork to look exactly lifelike. The art would be more symbolic or stylized. For example, a figure that is more important would be shown larger.
