The publication of the Congregation of the Mission, Vincentiana, has as its objective the promotion and the spread of Vincentian spirituality, as well as refl ection upon the Vincentian charism. Through the written word we attempt to make a contribution to the ongoing formation of the members of the Congregation of the Mission, the Company of the Daughters of Charity, and many men and women who are members of the various branches of the Vincentian Family, This present issue, the fourth of the 59th year of our publication (October-December 2015), begins with information from the General Curia: two circular letters which present the matters that were discussed during the Tempo Forte of October and December and other letters writ- ten by the Superior General (Vincentiana is the Congregation’s offi cial means of communication with its members). More specifi cally those letters are: the letter that was published on the occasion of the Feast of Saint Vincent de Paul (September 27) and the letter that was published as a follow-up to the meeting of the Vincentian bishops (October 12). It seemed appropriate to include here a third letter (dated October 19) which contains information about the request for volunteers to serve in our International Missions. That letter is followed by the words of a Missionary who had committed his life to service in our missions and who died recently in the Solomon Islands. The fi nal item in this section is the Advent Message of 2015. It could be said that our Superior General, Gregory Gay, is establishing a bond of communication with each and every missionary in the very place where they live and minister. The Vincentian Family is preparing for the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the birth of that charism which throughout all these years has inspired the service of the various branches of the Vincentian Family, service on behalf of those men and women who are poor. In light of this reality the last issue of 2015 is intended to deepen our understanding of that reality and therefore, we have entitled this issue: 400 Years of Service to the Poor in the Vincentian Family. In light of that celebration we requested some individuals from the various branches to share their refl ections on the manner in which their specifi c branch has lived and adapted the charism in recent years. The authors have highlighted certain signifi cant elements and chal- lenges that they must confront if the heritage of the Vincent de Paul is to continue to be relevant in today’s world. The refl ections of these individuals are both enriching and valuable. We begin with the refl ections of a member of the AIC (The International Association of Charities), the fi rst foundation of Vincent de Paul (1617) 382 Álvaro Mauricio Fernández M., C.M. giving as a precious summary: Everything began 400 years ago in Châtil- lon. That is followed by a refl ection on the Congregation of the Mission, Seasoned Fruits of Charity, which highlights the missionary activity of the members throughout the world, an activity that began in 1625 (the time of its foundation). The refl ection on the Daughters of Charity on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the birth of the Vincentian charism, continues the theme of the refl ection that was begun by the volunteers/members of the Confraternity of Charity and that led to the establishment of the Daughters of Charity, a treasure for the Church. Members of the various lay groups that were established after the death of Saint Vicente de Paul (the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, the Vincentian Marian Youth Association, The Miraculous Medal Associa- tion and MISEVI) have also shared with us their refl ections on the Vincentian charism. Refl ections on the Vincentian charim have also been shared with us by some of the non-traditional branches of the Vincentian Family. This issue includes the thoughts of members of other Religious Con- gregations that have been inspired by the Vincentian Charism. More specifi cally, this issue has been enriched by the refl ections of the mem- bers of the Brothers of Our Lady, Mother of Mercy who were founded by Rev. Joannes Zwijsen, a pastor in Tilburg, Holland (1844) and by members of the Sisters of Saint Vincent de Paul, Servants of the Poor of Gijzegem (founded in 1818 by Elizabeth de Robiano: the Sisters were given the Rule that Vincent de Paul gave to the Daughters of Charity, but the Rule was adapted to the specifi c objectives of their mission). This section concludes with refl ections from a member of the Federa- tion of Vincentian Congregations (origins in Strasbourg. This group was established in the 18th century when the Bishop of Strasbourg, Cardinal Amand Gaston de Rohan, took the initiative and sent forth some young women with the intention of establishing a Congregation of Women to serve the poor and the infi rm; thus the Sisters of Charity of Strasbourg were founded). There are countless Congregations that are part of this magnifi cent heritage that has been passed on to us by Vincent de Paul and many pages could be written about the men and women who share in this Vincenti an charism. We cannot ignore the interesting article, with a familiar ring, written by the Assistant General, entitled, “An Horizon of Creative Fidelity.” This issue of Vincentiana also includes a “Spotlight Interview” about Bishop Vicente Zico, Brazilian Bishop of the Congregation of the Mission at the service of the poor and the Congregation itself until the day of his death. We hope that the refl ections in the October-December issue of Vin- centiana will enable all our readers to deepen their understanding of the Vincentian charism. ÁLVARO MAURICIO FERNÁNDEZ M., C.M.

Van Gogh knew that Breitner2 had studied with Cormon3 (see letter 465) and may also have heard about him at the academy in Antwerp. Cormon opened his studio at number 104 boulevard de Clichy in 1882. While he did receive his students there, corrections were also done in the studio in rue La Bruyre. The syllabus did not differ much from that of his predecessor Lon Bonnat4. Cormons was less rigidly structured, though, and it was above all this more liberal attitude that won him a favourable reputation among a younger generation of artists. Students drew (classical) plaster casts and from life, and Cormon demanded from his students an extremely accurate, lifelike drawing.

    St. Vincent De Paul and the Homeless

    WELCOMING THE STRANGER ST. VINCENT DE PAUL AND THE HOMELESS Robert Maloney, CM An earlier version of this article was published in Vincentiana 61, #2 (April-June 2017) 270-92. “There was no room for them in the inn.”1 Those stark words dampen the joy of Luke’s infancy narrative, which we read aloud every Christmas. No room for a young carpenter and his pregnant wife? Was it because they asked for help with a Galilean accent that identified them as strangers?2 Was there no room for the long-awaited child at whose birth angels proclaimed “good news of great joy that will be for all people”?3 No, there was no room. Their own people turned Mary and Joseph away. Their newborn child’s first bed was a feeding trough for animals. Matthew, in his infancy narrative, recounts another episode in the story of Jesus’ birth, where once again joy gives way to sorrow.4 He describes the death-threatening circumstances that drove Joseph and Mary from their homeland with Jesus. Reflecting on this account in Matthew’s gospel, Pius XII once stated, “The émigré Holy Family of Nazareth, fleeing into Egypt, is the archetype of every refugee family." 5 Quoting those words, Pope Francis has referred to the plight of the homeless and refugees again and again and has proclaimed their right to the “3 L’s”: land, labor and lodging.6 Today, in one way or another, 1.2 billion people share in the lot of Joseph, Mary and Jesus. Can the Vincentian Family have a significant impact on their lives? In this article, I propose to examine the theme in three steps: 1.

    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.

    Blooms Hilton Als

    Blooms Hilton Als Taken together, Julian Schnabel’s canvases are a garden illuminated by perception, which is all Gertrude Stein’s “Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose” was about—how we look at what we look at, how to make seeing into words. Schnabel’s masterly Rose Paintings series, exe- cuted in 2015–17, are blooms that will never die on the vine, let alone the vine of thought. The works are a description of the ephemeral—flowers as forces in nature that expire to blossom again. By using materials meant to last—oil, paint, Bondo on wood—Schnabel creates concrete forms out of that which is meant to return to the ground. In these works, he excavates flowers, those captives of time that die with time, and makes them timeless, in pictures that draw on nature to make of it what the artist will—and does. Schnabel makes paintings that are illustrative of his nature. The artist first attracted widespread attention more than three decades ago for work that was unlike anything else, because the Brooklyn-born Schnabel’s point of view has always been unlike anyone else’s. His eye is a rose. In paintings ranging from Self Portrait in Andy’s Shadow (1987) to the Untitled (Chinese Paintings) series (initiated in 2003), the creator worked in a tradition that could not be readily identified because it was his own, an out- growth of his soul. Like flowers that cannot be classified, the Rose paintings come at you from different angles. One painting looks at the roses a little from the left, some are more centered—all of which goes to show how one’s view of a thing can change the thing being observed; our percep- tions change paintings, just as paint changes blank canvas.

For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions.

COMMENT THE LAST PRISONERS OF WORLD WAR Ill Margaret M. Mastroberardino I. INTRODUCTION "To the victor belong the spoils of the enemy."2 The Ro- mans exhibited treasures captured from their prisoners; Napo- 3 leon did the same almost two thousand years later. Throughout world history, looting treasures belonging to ene- mies in times of war has been a constant.4 Looting occurred as recently as the Persian Gulf War, where Saddam Hussein re- moved collections of cultural property from Kuwait. At the end of the 19th century, an idea emerged that cultural objects should be protected from armed, military conflict.5 As a result, the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 included provisions designed to "protect cultural institutions, historical monuments and works of art from premeditated seizure, destruction, or damage."6 During World War II, Adolph Hitler and his Nazi soldiers wrought havoc on Europe. In their quest to establish a superior 1 "They are the last prisoners of World War II, about to emerge from the dark rooms where they were locked away 50 years ago."
