To Theo Van Gogh. Arles, on Or About Friday, 16 March 1888 To Theo van Gogh. Arles, on or about Friday, 16 March 1888. on or about Friday, 16 March 1888 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. no. b509 V/1962 Date: The letter was written after 11 March, the date two Zouaves were murdered in Arles (see n. 8). As Van Gogh writes (ll. 91-95), many Italians were hounded out of town over the next few days because of this. The letter must therefore date from a few days after the crime. Van Gogh also refers to the fact that Koning has moved in with Theo (ll. 37-40). This must have been shortly after 14 March (FR b915). Since Van Gogh says he will write to Bernard and Toulouse-Lautrec on Sunday, the letter must moreover have been written before Sunday, 18 March. For these reasons we have dated the letter on or about Friday, 16 March 1888. Additional: Original [1r:1] Mon cher Tho, je te remercie beaucoup de ta lettre sur laquelle je navais mme pas os compter si vite pour ce qui est du billet de 50 fr. que tu y as ajout. Je vois que tu nas encore gure de rponse de Tersteeg je ne vois pas la ncessit dinsister de notre ct par une nouvelle lettre toutefois si tu aurais quelque affaire officielle traiter avec la maison B.V.&C La Haye tu pourrais dans un P.S. faire sentir que tu sois plus ou moins tonn de ce quil ne taie point fait savoir quil a recue la lettre en question. Pour ce qui est du travail jai rapport une toile de 15 aujourdhui, cest un pont levis, sur lequel passe une petite voiture, qui se profile sur un ciel bleu la riviere bleue 1 2 To Theo van Gogh. Arles, on or about Friday, 16 March 1888. galement, des berges oranges avec verdure, un groupe de laveuses aux caracos & bonnets barriols. 1 Puis autre paysage avec un petit pont rustique & laveuses galement. 2 Enfin une alle de platanes prs de la gare.3 En tout depuis que je suis ici 12 tudes. 4 Le temps est variable, souvent du vent & des ciels brouills mais les amandiers commencent fleurir gnralement. En somme je suis bien content que les tableaux soient [1v:2] aux Indpendants. 5 Tu feras bien daller voir Signac chez lui. 6 jtais bien content de ce que tu crivais dans ta lettre daujourdhui, quil a fait sur toi une impression plus favorable que la premire fois. Dans tous les cas cela me fait plaisir de savoir qu partir daujourdhui tu ne seras pas seul dans lappartement. Dis bien le bonjour Koning de ma part. Est ce que ta sant est bien, pour ce qui est de la mienne cela va mieux, seulement cest une vraie corve de manger vu que jai de la fivre et pas dappetit mais cela nest donc que passager et affaire de patience. Jai de la compagnie le soir puisque le jeune peintre Danois qui est ici est trs bien; son travail est sec, correct et timide mais je ne dteste pas cela lorsque lindividu est jeune et intelligent. Il a dans le temps commenc des tudes de mdecine, il connait les livres de Zola, de Goncourt, Guy de Maupassant, et il a assez dargent pour se la couler douce.8 Avec cela un dsir trs srieux de faire autre chse que ce quil fait actuellement. Je crois quil ferait bien de diffrer son retour dans 1 The Langlois bridge with washerwomen (F 397 / JH 1368). 2 The Gleize bridge with washerwomen (F 396 / JH 1367). 3 Avenue of plane trees (F 398 / JH 1366). 4 Among these twelve studies, aside from the three works just mentioned, were the eight studies referred to in letter 583: An old woman of Arles (F 390 / JH 1357), Landscape with snow (F 290 / JH 1360), View of a butchers shop (F 389 / JH 1359), Landscape with snow (F 391 / JH 1358), Sprig of almond blossom in a glass (F 392 / JH 1361), Sprig of almond blossom in a glass with a book (F 393 / JH 1362), Basket of oranges (F 395 / JH 1363) and a study, possibly Bowl of Potatoes (F 386 / JH 1365). The twelfth work was Pollard willows with setting sun (F 572 / JH 1597) (see letter 584, n. 7). 5 Van Gogh exhibited three works with the Indpendants; see letter 582, n. 9. 6 In 1888 Signac7 lived at 130 boulevard de Clichy, where he also had his studio. Theo could have visited him there, or it might have been in his mothers house in Asnires, where Signac often received his friends. 8 Christian Mourier-Petersen9 whom Van Gogh refers to as young, but who was actually only five years younger than him had studied medicine for some time in Copenhagen prior to 1880. He came from a family of landowners and had the considerable sum of 6000 Danish Kroner available for his planned three-year Grand Tour to the south of Europe. See Larsson 1993, pp. 12-13. To Theo van Gogh. Arles, on or about Friday, 16 March 1888. 3 son pays dun an, ou de revenir aprs une courte visite ses concitoyens. Mais, mon cher frre tu sais je me sens au Japon. Je ne te dis que cela, et encore, je nai encore rien vu dans la splendeur accoutume. [1v:3] Cest pourquoi (tout en etant chagrin de ce que actuellement les dpenses sont raides et les tableaux des non valeurs), cest pourquoi je ne dsspre pas dune russite de cette entreprise de faire un long voyage dans le midi. Ici je vois du neuf, japprends et tant trait avec un peu de douceur mon corps ne me refuse pas ses services. Je souhaiterais pour bien des raisons pouvoir fonder un pied terre qui en cas dereintement pourrait servir mettre au vert les pauvres chevaux de fiacre de Paris qui sont toi-meme et plusieurs de nos amis, les impressionistes pauvres. Jai assist lenqute dun crime commis la porte dun bordel ici; deux italiens ont tu deux zouaves.10 Jai profit de loccasion pour entrer dans un des bordels de la petite rue dite des ricollettes.11 Ce quoi se bornent mes exploits amoureux vis vis des Arlsiennes. La foule manque (le mridional selon lexemple de Tartarin12 tant davantage daplomb pour la bonne volont que pour laction), la foule dis je, a manque lyncher les meurtriers emprisonns lhtel de ville mais sa reprsaille a t que tous les Italiens et toutes les Italiennes, y compris les marmots Savoyards, ont d quitter la ville de force.14 [1r:4] Je ne te parlerais pas de cela si ce ntait pour te dire que jai vu les boulevards de cette ville plein de monde rveill. Et 10 At eleven oclock in the evening of 11 March the Zouaves Louis-Edouard Dupont and Jean Destanque were stabbed to death when leaving a brothel in rue des Rcollets after a row with three Italian labourers. This brothel, the maison de tolrance no. 14 on the corner of the rue du Bout dArles and rue des Rcollets, must have been the one that Van Gogh visited. See Murphy 2016, pp. 60-61, 270 (n. 8). The investigation of the crime (and hence also Van Goghs brothel visit) took place in the afternoon of Monday, 12 March. See further n. 11 below. 11 Rue des Rcollets opened off rue de la Cavalerie, where Van Goghs boarding-house was. 12 The central character in Daudet13s novels Tartarin de Tarascon (1872) and Tartarin sur les Alpes (1885); see letter 583, n. 9. 14 The local newspapers LHomme de Bronze and Le Forum Rpublicain reported on the occurrence at length in their editions of Sunday, 18 March. LIntransigeant of 19 March 1888 also covered it. The incident brought the whole town of Arles up in arms. When the offenders were rounded up, the buildings where they were locked up were besieged by a crowd of angry inhabitants. They also drove virtually all the Italians out of the town, prompted in part by anger that they took a lot of jobs while there was high unemployment among the local population. The murdered Zouaves were buried with great ceremony on Wednesday, 14 March, and the event attracted crowds of people.

BUREAU NO BR-0-I-060 PUB DATE Jan 72 GRANT OEG-9-70-0031(057) NOTE 85p.

The art reproduction sets displayed similarities based upon various visual attributes. Discrimination of theattributes common to any given set was taken as evidence of concept formation. Selection of similar reproductions in additional displays was taken as evidence of concept generalization. Additionally,tape-recorded discussions of the test administrations were analyzed. These discussions yielded additional evidence of successful test performance (on a verbal dimension) and were useful in describing the character of children's abilities to discuss the visual attributes of art reproductions. Evidence gathered indicates that students at all grades (except, possibly, kindergarten) are able to form visual concepts from their observation of selected sets of art reproductions. Subjects also successfully described their classification of observed visual similarities when discussing the items.

Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. 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.

She made history as the first such artist in several states including an upcom - ing exhibit September through December 2021 on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue. Anderson, who has Down syn - drome and autism, is low-functioning and does not care for herself, read, write or speak. Painting has become her voice and she has been featured on local, regional and national media outlets, which has resulted in a large following with sales of more than 100 paintings in 35 states. Unlike neurotypical professional artists, Anderson’s work is her only voice, and she is prolific with more than 300 pieces in less than three years. She paints weekly at the Inside Out Studio, a local studio for adults with disabilities, where she creates museum-worthy art. She works with canvas or board to create landscape and abstract art. She often paints over her work several times before she is finished, and uses a broadly generalized brushstroke, roller or sponge, with smaller, articulate, accentuating strokes. An emerging career artist, Anderson is breaking down barriers. Her exhibit, “Beyond Barriers,” is educating the public that persons with disabilities can do amazing things if given the opportunity. www.danaandersonart.com, facebook.com/danaandersonart.huntsville 50 Nashville, Tennessee kim barrick Chickadees s Oil s 14 " x 11 " s $850.00 s Kim Barrick Nap s Oil s 8" x 10 " s $550.00 s Kim Barrick Kim Barrick is as diverse and complex as the work she creates.

  • Using a Multimedia Mix to Teach Concepts of Business Administration
    Proceedings of ASBBS Volume 18 Number 1 USING A MULTIMEDIA MIX TO TEACH CONCEPTS OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Dunphy, Steve M. Indiana University Northwest Meyer, David The University of Akron ABSTRACT An exercise is proposed which the author believes more carefully aligns contemporary undergraduate student interest with a faculty pedagogical delivery mechanism that meets the educational needs of both. The exercise involves the mixing of a piece of popular music synchronized to a slide show constructed using Microsoft’s PowerPoint for the purpose of illustrating a concept, theory or idea as delineated by the business administration textbook. An example based on the song “Vincent” and synchronized with the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh is provided in the appendix. INTRODUCTION The authors believe that the traditional, 15-30 page academic term paper is not always appropriate for today‟s undergraduate business student who may be facing a future that involves running a pawn shop, dry cleaner or convenience store but certainly does not involve matriculating in a doctoral program for the purpose of earning a Ph.D. in business administration. Why then are so many business school academics wedded to the 15-30 page academic term paper as a pedagogical vehicle for teaching concepts of management? Perhaps if the answer is that term paper construction was suggested in the doctoral program, then we know that new questions must be asked. Others have questioned the relevance and didacticism of the typical term paper when used in a business education course (Everett & Ladd, 2010; Carchiolo, Longheu, Malgeri, & Mangioni, 2007). For this reason, a multimedia “mix” exercise is proposed wherein students mix a selection of their own, preferred music ripped from a CD or downloaded from the Internet and synchronized with PowerPoint slides of their own choosing for the purpose of illustrating a concept of management.

  • ARLES 2020 Press File
    ARLES 2020 Press File #arlestourisme INTRODUCTION February 21st 1888. Vincent van Gogh arrived yesterday in Arles. In a letter to his brother Theo, the painter writes about his first impressions : «I noticed some magnificent plots of red earth planted with vines, with mountains in the background of the most delicate lilac. And the landscape under the snow with the white peaks against a sky as bright as the snow was just like the winter landscapes the Japanese did.» Light: a key factor in painting and in photography. Arles and its surroundings gained notoriety thanks to those whose highlight its beauty : artists of course (Van Gogh, Lucien Clergue, Christian Lacroix…) but mainly people who protect and develop its traditions as well as cultural and natural heritage. When you stay in Arles, you go through more than 2.000 years of history ! Your journey begins in 80/90 BC : Amphitheater (Arena), Roman Theater, Cryptoportico of the Forum, the Baths of Constantine… All these remains of the colony Arelate are listed on the UNESCO world heritage list, as well as Saint-Trophime’s church and cloister, some of the finest Romanesque buildings in Provence. During the Renaissance period, numerous Arlesian families became prosperous and we can still admire today their townhouses (Hôtel de Luppé, hôtel de Quiqueiran de Beaujeu…). The time machine speeds up. 1912 : Pablo Picasso, inventor of Cubism, arrives in Arles to satisfy two passions : Van Gogh and bullfights. The love story with the city comes to its climax 60 years later when Picasso offers 57 drawings to the Réattu Museum ! Still in the late 60’s, Lucien Clergue, photographer, launches with a few friends Les Rencontres d’Arles, which sets Arles out as an international capital of photography.

    To Theo van Gogh. Arles, Monday, 7 May 1888. Monday, 7 May 1888 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. no. b524 V/1962 Date: The letter was written immediately after letter 605: the matter of sending work raised in that one is discussed again in the present letter. As is clear from ll. 1-2, the letter must have been written on the same day as the previous one, so we have likewise dated it Monday, 7 May 1888.

According to what Mrs Carrel3 of the hotel of the same name recalled later, the dispute was based on a misunderstanding: there would have been no disagreement about the price; however Vincent would have wanted to pay when the Carrels were eating; he would have been asked to wait until later; at which point Vincent would have gone to the justice of the peace to hand over the amount owed! (il ny aurait pas eu de dsaccord quant au prix; toutefois Vincent aurait voulu payer au moment o le mnage Carrel se trouvait table; on lui aurait fait remarquer quil aurait pu remettre cela plus tard; sur ce, Vincent se serait rendu chez le juge de paix pour lui confier la somme due!)
