  • Discovery of the Place Where Van Gogh Painted His Last Masterpiece
    This page was exported from - Digital meets Culture Export date: Thu Sep 30 2:46:05 2021 / +0000 GMT Discovery of the place where Van Gogh painted his last masterpiece img. Post card ?rue Daubigny, Auvers-sur-Oise' covered with the painting ?Tree Roots' (1890) by Van Gogh, ©arthénon, courtesy Van Gogh Museum. The discovery of the exact location where Vincent van Gogh painted his last artwork Tree Roots was made by Wouter van der Veen, the scientific director of the Institut van Gogh (Auvers-sur-Oise). Van der Veen found a post card dating from 1900 to 1910 featuring a scene including tree trunks and roots growing on a hillside. He has described and documented his discovery in a book, Attacked at the Roots, written specially for the occasion. Tree Roots is in the collection of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Highly plausible discovery Van der Veen submitted his discovery to Louis van Tilborgh and Teio Meedendorp, senior researchers at the Van Gogh Museum, almost immediately. Bert Maes, a dendrologist specialising in historical vegetation, was also consulted. Based on Van Gogh's working habits and the comparative study of the painting, post card and current condition of the hillside, the experts concluded that it is ?highly plausible' that the correct location has been identified. Wouter van der Veen (scientific director of the Institut van Gogh): ?Every element of this mysterious painting can be explained by observation of the post card and the location: the shape of the hillside, the roots, their relation to each other, the composition of the earth and the presence of a steep limestone face.

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.

  • To Emile Bernard. Arles, on Or About Tuesday, 19 June 1888
    To Emile Bernard. Arles, on or about Tuesday, 19 June 1888. on or about Tuesday, 19 June 1888 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: New York, Thaw Collection, The Morgan Library & Museum Date: Vincent told Theo on 21 June that he had received a letter from Bernard (see letter 629). Because he says in the present letter that he is replying to Bernards letter immediately (l. 2), it must precede letter 629. He has also progressed further with The sower than he could report in letter 627, which was written around 17 June, and he mentions a new wheatfield. This suggests that a couple of days must have passed since he wrote that letter, so we have dated the present one on or about Tuesday, 19 June 1888. Additional: Original [1r:1] mon cher Bernard Pardonne moi si jcris bien la hte, je crains que ma lettre ne sera point lisible mais je veux te rpondre tout de suite. Sais tu que nous avons t trs btes, Gauguin, toi et moi, de ne pas aller dans un mme endroit. Mais lorsque Gauguin est parti moi jetais pas encore sr de pouvoir partir. Et lorsque toi tu es parti il y avait cet affreux argent du voyage et les mauvaises nouvelles que javais donner des frais ici qui lont empech. Si nous tions parti tous ensemble vers ici ce naurait pas t si bte car trois nous eussions fait le mnage chez nous.

  • The Example of Vincent Van Gogh Denying Forms, Systems and Academicism in Art and Religion Vasiliki Rouska Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece
    Taking and Denying Challenging Canons in Arts and Philosophy edited by Giovanni Argan, Maria Redaelli, Alexandra Timonina The Example of Vincent van Gogh Denying Forms, Systems and Academicism in Art and Religion Vasiliki Rouska Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853-90) af- fected the art movements and artists of the 20th century. His artistic thought, symbolic language and perspective on reality was far from that of the painters of his time and so they could not understand him or appreciate his work. Van Gogh did not consider himself to be an academic artist, or his work to be of academic standard. He knew that they were not technically perfect. In van Gogh’s works, art is governed by spirituality. Van Gogh rejected academicism in both art and religion. Keywords Canon. Academicism. Religion. Systems. Symbols. Summary 1 Introduction. – 2 The Example of Vincent van Gogh and His Religious Background. – 3 Rejected by Theological Schools and by His Parents. – 4 Clergymen in van Gogh’s Thought. – 5 Rejecting Religious Academicism. – 6 Van Gogh’s Relationship with Anton Mauve and Their Quarrel. – 7 Anton van Rappard. Another Breakdown. – 8 Christ in the Garden of Olives. Between Different Perceptions. – 9 Van Gogh’s ‘Non- Technique’. – 10 Conclusion. 1 Introduction What is the canon in Art History?

Vincent’s actual room at the Ravoux Inn in Auvers-sur-Oise The FINAL SUMMER of THE PAINTER Vincent spent the last 70 days of his life at the yellow building called the Ravoux Inn. Given to absolute regimen, he would get up every morning at 5 AM and paint all day, coming back to the Inn at his regular time each evening for his dinner at the downstairs café. He would then go up to his room and paint some more. He was charged about 3 francs a night and while there befriended the owners teenage daughter. After con - stant requests, he finally painted the young girl and gave her the canvas as a gift.
