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.

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.

Paul Gauguin 1848-1903 Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin 1848-1903 Paul Gauguin (goh GAN) was born in Paris, France. His father died while the family was moving to Peru. Paul with his mother and older sister Mari continued on to Peru and stayed with rich relatives there for six years. When he was seventeen years old he became a sailor and traveled around the world. He spent some time in the Navy, then became a stockbroker's clerk in Paris. He became quite successful at the stock exchange and also began painting during his free time. He married Mette Sophie Gad in 1873 and they had five children; Emile, Aline, Clovis, Jean Rene, and Pola. Ten years after their marriage he left his family. He had quit his job as a stockbroker to spend full time painting. His income from his paintings was not enough to take care of his wife and children. What a shame! Today a painting by Gauguin may sell for as much as $39 million. Because he wanted to devote full time to his art career, he sent his family to live with his wife's parents in Copenhagen. Gauguin abandoned them and went back to Paris. Van Gogh's brother Theo, who was Gauguin's art dealer, suggested Gauguin visit his brother Vincent Van Gogh. Gauguin and Van Gogh did not get along at all, and the visit ended after Van Gogh cut off his own ear. The first picture below shows a painting by Gauguin, L'Arlesienne (lar lay zyen) sometimes called Madame Ginoux. The second picture is a charcoal drawing he made and the third picture is a painting made by van Gogh two years later.

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.

Vincent Van Gogh Born in Groot-Zundert, The Netherlands,Van Gogh spent his early life as an art dealer, teacher and preacher in England, Holland and Belgium. His period as an artist began in 1881 when he chose to study art in Brussels, starting with watercolours and moving quickly on to oils. The French countryside was a major influence on his life and his early work was dominated by sombre, earthy colours depicting peasant workers, the most famous of which is The Potato Eaters, 1885. Simon Schama It was duringVan Gogh's studies in Paris (1886-8) that he developed the individual style of brushwork on Van Gogh and use of colour that made his name. He borrowed from the Impressionists technique of applying "Vincent's passionate belief was that brush strokes and use of pure colour. He often mixed his colour directly on his canvas and applied people wouldn't just see his pictures, his paint using knives and utensils to create a thick impasto on the surface of his works. but would feel the rush of life in them; that by the force of his brush and In 1888 he moved to Arles where the Provençal landscape provided his best-known subject matter. dazzling colour they'd experience However, it also marked the start of his mental crisis following an argument with his contemporary those fields, faces and flowers in Paul Gauguin.

Vincent Van Gogh: Originality and the Validation of Repetitions
Page 1 Sara Cecilia Johnson Honors in Art History American University College of Arts & Sciences Spring 2014 Undergraduate Capstone Vincent van Gogh: Originality and the Validation of Repetitions Dr. Juliet Bellow Professor of Art History at American University ABSTRACT: This paper explores Vincent van Gogh’s tendency to repeat: the artist often made copies or variations of other artists’ work and of his own paintings. The fact that van Gogh frequently repeated his works may seem like a form of obsessive action, playing into the myth of van Gogh as a mad genius. My paper instead uses van Gogh’s repetitions to develop a discussion of the avant-garde concept of originality, examining how his practice of repetition operated within a value-system that prized uniqueness. Looking critically at van Gogh’s artistic process of making repetitions, guided by the recent Phillips Collection exhibition catalogue, Van Gogh: Repetitions, I show that van Gogh’s process was intentional and complex. I compare his process to traditional academic methods of art-making, premised upon emulation and copying, and to that of his contemporaries in the avant-garde who were against copying. I conclude that van Gogh’s process of artistic production, which combined originality and repetition, represents the Post-Impressionist synthesis of Impressionist and Academic approaches to art-making. Page 2 “We are forgetting that painting was a simple craft, and we are adopting the modernist principle that innovation is primary and any reiteration of themes needs to be explained and justified.” - Patricia Mainardi 1 The idea that Impressionist painters were unanalytical and only painted what they saw in nature has been discredited.2 Although the Impressionists made it appear like their work was completed en plein air, the evidence reveals that those artists had studios where they took time to finish each painting, such as in Gustav Caillebotte’s painting The Floor Scrapers [figure 1].

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.

Vincent Van Gogh: Personal Tragedy, Artistic Triumph
Vincent van Gogh: Personal Tragedy, Artistic Triumph Abigail Takeuchi Junior Division Historical Paper Paper Length: 2,359 Introduction On July 27, 1890 in Auvers, France, a sharp gunshot pierced the air in a wheat field, scattering crows everywhere. Those birds were the only witnesses of Vincent van Gogh’s fatal act. They watched as Vincent limped towards the inn he was staying at, his hand covering his bleeding stomach. Dr. Gachet sent for Vincent’s brother Theo. Two days later, Vincent died in Theo’s arms, penniless and unrecognized for his creative achievement. Yet the portrait he painted for Dr. Gachet was sold in 1990 for $82.5 million dollars, the 13th highest priced artwork ever sold at that time.1 "Dying is hard, but living is harder still." Vincent said this when his father died in 1885, reflecting on his own life as a tortured artist.2 In his ten years’ pursuit for art, Vincent van Gogh suffered from poverty and madness, which influenced the subjects he chose to paint, the color, brush strokes, and the composition he used, and above all the intense feelings he expressed in his paintings. Therefore, his personal tragedy contributed to his artistic triumph, which cleared the path for Expressionism to emerge. Personal and Historical Background The 19th century saw a rise in different art movements: The Romantic Movement of the 1830s and 1840s, then Realism that extended from 1830 to 1870 with the popularity of photography, and then Impressionism.3 Impressionism was an art movement focused on 1 "Portrait of Dr. Gachet, 1990 by 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.
