Fortunately mine brings you good news of the little one19. After a few days of suffering he has started to be jolly again and no longer to cry so much.20 Its thanks to the good asss milk were currently giving him. The animals come to the door, and in the morning he receives warm milk, always from the same animal. Afterwards theres still enough for [1v:2] two doses, which he receives alternately with his mothers milk, which is now coming in abundance. He looks extremely well at the moment. He must take the asss milk for at least a fortnight, and so we cant go to Pissarro25s on 14 July.26 So Ive taken that day to go to see Claude Monet29 with Valadon30,31 who will certainly get on my nerves on that day, but Im content to go and see the new works by Monet. Theres no reason for you to put back your arrival, not that we dont appreciate that you wanted to come and share my pains, on the contrary, thank you, but with a [1v:3] patient, the fewer people there are around the better it is. So come if you like on Sunday with the first train, in the morning youll see Walpole Brooke34, whos coming to see your paintings at Tanguy35s, next a Japanese Buddha which I saw in a curio shop, and after that were going to have lunch at our place to see your studies. You can stay with us as long as you want, and you can give us advice on the arrangement of our new apartment. Dries36 and Annie37 will probably come to the ground floor, and theyll have a little garden which we, naturally, will have the benefit of. If the two women get on with each other it promises well. Perhaps good that Dries will come to [1r:4] our place. Im having a lot of luck in business, even if I havent sold paintings for 800,000,000,000 17 The letter sketch Wheatfields (F - / JH 2039) in letter 896, after the painting of the same name F 775 / JH 2038. 18 The painting Girl against a background of wheat (F 774 / JH 2053), after which Van Gogh made the letter sketch of the same name F - / JH 2054 in letter 896. 19 Vincent Willem van Gogh (1890-1978) son of Theo van Gogh 20 Andries Bonger21 wrote to his parents22 the day before: Little Vincent23 is infinitely better.

Theo bezat een grote kunstverzameling waarin zich ook alle schilderijen en tekeningen van Vincent bevonden die deze hem in de loop der jaren had gestuurd in ruil voor financiële ondersteuning. Toen Theo in overleed een half jaar na Vincents dood , ontfermde Johanna zich over deze bijzondere collectie. Zij beheerde die voor haar toen éénjarige zoon Vincent Willem, erfgenaam van enige honderden schilderijen, tekeningen en brieven van Vincent van Gogh. Johanna deed er alles aan om het oeuvre van Vincent van Gogh bekend te maken. Zij organiseerde diverse tentoonstellingen, verzorgde de eerste uitgave van Van Goghs brieven en verkocht schilderijen aan kunsthandelaren en verzamelaars. Over het belang van haar werk-zaamheden is opvallend weinig gepubliceerd en haar positie in de toenmalige kunstwereld blijft daardoor onderbelicht. Dit onderzoek gaat in op de vraag of haar rol in de bekendmaking van het werk en het leven van Vincent van Gogh niet is onderschat en hoe professioneel Johanna omging met deze taak.

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.

Je resterai encore quelques jours ici lhpital puis jose compter retourner la maison trs-tranquillement. 1 1 On the evening of 23 December 1888, Van Gogh suffered an acute mental breakdown. As a result he cut off his left ear and took it to a prostitute in a local brothel. The police found him at home the next morning and had him admitted to hospital. On 24 December Gauguin2 sent a telegram to Theo, who immediately took the night train to Arles. Despite Van Goghs repeated pleas, Gauguin did not come to visit him in hospital (see letter 736). Jo van Gogh-Bonger3 wrote in her introduction to the letters that Gauguin travelled back to Paris with Theo, who left Arles on Tuesday, 25 December, as emerges from a letter he wrote to Jo on 28 December (see Brieven 1914, p. liv, and Brief happiness 1999, pp. 70-71). Bernard4s letter of 1 January 1889 to Albert Aurier5 (quoted below) agrees with this description of events: he reports that Gauguin had arrived in Paris four days earlier, meaning 27 December.

  • Van Gogh's Tree Roots up Close
    1. Detail of ill. 3 54 120046_p001_208.indd 54 31-05-12 13:38 Van Gogh’s Tree roots up close Bert Maes and Louis van Tilborgh Tree roots is undoubtedly the most intriguing painting from Vincent van Gogh’s Auvers period (ills. 1, 3). This close-up view of the bases of trees shows a jungle of twisted roots, trunks, branches and leaves. Enlarging and bringing forward details that had traditionally been relegated to the background had become a stock part of Van Gogh’s visual vocabulary since his discovery of the world of Japanese prints (ill. 2), but unlike a work such as Long grass with butterfl ies (ill. 4), which is also a close-up, the viewer of Tree roots ‘is hard put to identify the subject as a whole’, as Jan Hulsker wrote in 1980.1 The scene is regarded virtually without exception as ‘almost abstract’ due to ‘the extreme stylisation’.2 ‘Ambiguous, stylized, vitalistic, life-affi rming, antinaturalistic yet palpably organic: a kind of prototype for an Art Nouveau frieze’,3 was Ronald Pickvance’s reaction to it. In this he was following Bogomila Welsh-Ovcharov, who had asserted six years previously that ‘intima- tions of the elegant stylizations of the international Art Nouveau movement’ were ‘obviously present’ in the work.4 It displayed ‘one of the most extraordinary de- grees of a decoratively conceived quasi-abstraction which can be discovered in his total oeuvre’, and it should therefore be ‘celebrated for the prediction of twentieth- century style which it represents’. Whether we should judge art by its value for ‘the Road to Flatness’, as many regard the origins of the history of modern art,5 is very much the question, but leaving that aside, does the signifi cance of Tree roots lie solely in its formal charac- teristics, and are they really that extreme? The scene may look fairly abstract and diffi cult to decipher compared with other works from the same period, but the stylistic devices (the omission of a horizon line due to the extreme close-up, the 55 120046_p001_208.indd 55 31-05-12 13:38 VAN GOGH STUDIES 4 / BERT MAES AND LOUIS VAN TILBORGH 2.

  • Ten Myths About Vincent Van Gogh
    AiA News-Service Ten myths about Vincent van Gogh Why stories—from the mutilated ear to the eventual suicide—can distort our view of the art a blog by MARTIN BAILEY 6th December 2019 11:57 GMT Cover of Irving Stone’s novel Lust for Life: The Story of Vincent van Gogh, Pocket Books/ Cardinal edition, 1951 If anything is to blame for the myths that surround Vincent van Gogh it is Lust for Life, the 1934 novel by Irving Stone and its 1956 film starring Kirk Douglas. The back cover of a 1950s Pocket Books edition says it all, quoting a prostitute who is imagined to have told the artist: “Prove that you love me… Give me your ear as a present.” Here are ten myths that have blighted the way that we perceive the artist’s life and work. John Peter Russell’s Portrait of Van Gogh (1886) Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation) Myth 1: Van Gogh was an outsider in the art world This is quite untrue. Van Gogh worked as an assistant art dealer for six years, for the Goupil gallery in The Hague, Paris and London— so from his late teens he was learning about art and the art trade. After later setting out to become an artist, he attended classes in Brussels, Antwerp and Paris, although each time he quickly dropped out, mainly because he had his own strong ideas and was disinclined to follow instructions. Vincent could hardly have had a better link to potential customers, since his brother Theo was employed by Goupil in Paris and knew the art scene intimately—but Van Gogh’s works were too radical for the time.

  • Vincent Van Gogh and Andries Bonger to Theo Van Gogh. Paris, on Or About Wednesday, 18 August 1886
    Vincent van Gogh and Andries Bonger to Theo van Gogh. Paris, on or about Wednesday, 18 August 1886. on or about Wednesday, 18 August 1886 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. no. b500 V/1962 Date: Theo is in the Netherlands, but we do not know the precise dates of his trip. In any event the visit took place in August 1886, because he returned to Paris on 26 August (FR b1844). Theo usually had two weeks holiday, starting at the weekend. This would mean that he could not have set out any earlier than the weekend of 14 August. Since his letter from the Netherlands arrived in Paris this morning (l. 1*) and he was able to report on conversations he had had, at least a few days of his stay must already have elapsed. We have therefore dated the letter on or about Wednesday, 18 August 1886. Additional: Vincent and Andries Bonger both wrote to Theo; Bonger read Vincents letter and referred to its contents in his own letter, written on the same sheet. Original [1r:1] Waarde Theo, Van morgen ontvingen wij1 Uw schrijven. En vinden dat het al heel mooi is dat ge de zaak hebt 1 Theo was staying in the Netherlands. His letter was addressed to Vincent and Andries Bonger2. At that time Andries was living at 80 rue dHauteville (FR b1030), but he was staying with Vincent at 54 rue Lepic, as we learn from a letter to his parents3 (Paris, Friday 27 August 1886): My invalids (Vincent van Gogh also fell ill during Theos absence) have hindered me from writing.

This was a momentous occasion, marking the beginning of a new phase in our history. From its origins as a showcase for the collections that had been cared for by the artist's family, the Van Gogh Museum has developed into one of the most popular museums in Europe. Over the years, the museum's ambitions have expanded in numerous ways: the collection has been broadened to encompass a wide range of paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints from the period c. 1840-1920, forming a crucial link between the collections of our neighbours the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum; changing exhibitions have become an essential complement to the permanent displays; new activities have been added and more emphasis is now placed on education and making the collection accessible to a broad public. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s these ambitions placed increasing pressures on the original building designed by Gerrit Rietveld and his partners, and the need for extra space was urgent.
