To Theo Van Gogh. Arles, Thursday, 21 June 1888 To Theo van Gogh. Arles, Thursday, 21 June 1888. Thursday, 21 June 1888 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. no. b542 V/1962 Date: Van Gogh writes The past two days weve had torrential rain that lasts all day (ll. 95-97). Since the rain started on Wednesday, 20 June, we like Pickvance think that this observation must have been made on the second rainy day, in other words on Thursday, 21 June 1888. Dorn suggests that Van Gogh is looking back on the third day at the two previous days, but because the rain continued we believe that Van Gogh would then have written of three days of rain. See exhib. cat. New York 1984, p. 94 and Dorn 1998, p. 25. The rainy weather went on for six days (Mto France). Additional: Van Gogh enclosed an order for paint and canvas, as we can deduce from the words Im badly in need of a new consignment ... Only a third or half is urgent (ll. 87-91) and The canvas isnt at all urgent either (l. 108). Original [1r:1] Mon cher Theo, je viens de lire larticle sur Claude Monet de Geffroy. 1 Cest vraiment trs bien ce quil dit. Que je voudrais voir cette exposition. Si je men console de ne pas la voir cest quen regardant autour de moi il y a bien des chses dans la nature qui ne me laissent gure le temps 1 Gustave Geffroy2, Dix tableaux de Claude Monet, La Justice 9 (17 June 1888), no. 3077, pp. 1-2. It emerges from a letter the art critic Gustave Geffroy wrote to Theo on 29 May 1888 that he was planning an article on Van Gogh, for which he evidently wanted to use quotations from the letters to Bernard3: In few days time, I should be grateful if you would come to Tanguy4s with me, so that I can finish looking at your brother-in-laws [read: brothers] work and making my notes. Thank Mr Bernard, please, for the extracts from the letters, which will be returned to him faithfully (Dans quelques jours, je vous demanderai de bien vouloir venir avec moi chez Tanguy, o jachverai de voir loeuvre de votre beau-frre et de prendre mes notes. Remerciez M. Bernard, je vous prie, pour les extraits de lettres, qui lui seront rendues fidlement) (FR b1199). 1 2 To Theo van Gogh. Arles, Thursday, 21 June 1888. de penser autre chse. Car cest juste le moment de la moisson. Jai eu une lettre de Bernard qui dit quil se sent bien isol mais qui travaille tout de mme et a encore fait une nouvelle posie sur lui-mme dans laquelle il se blague dune faon assez touchante. Et il demande: quoi bon travailler? Seulement il demande cela lui en travaillant , il se dit que le travail ne sert absolument rien en travaillant ce qui nest pas du tout la mme chse que de le dire en ne travaillant pas. Je voudrais bien voir ce quil fait. Je suis curieux de savoir ce que fera Gauguin et si Bernard nira pas le rejoindre Pont Aven; je leur ai donn les adresses de part et dautre dj auparavant parceque ils pourraient avoir besoin lun de lautre. 5 Jai eu une semaine dun travail serr et raide dans les bls en plein soleil, il en est result des tudes de bls, paysages7 et une esquisse de semeur. Sur un champ labour, un grand champ de mottes de terre viollettes montant vers lhorizon un semeur en bleu et blanc. lhorizon un champ de bl mr court.[1v:2] Sur tout cela un ciel jaune avec un soleil jaune.8 Tu sens la simple nomenclature des tonalits que la couleur joue dans cette composition un rle trs-important. Aussi lesquisse telle quelle toile de 25 me tourmente-t-elle beaucoup dans ce sens que je me demande sil ne faudrait pas la prendre au srieux et en faire un terrible tableau. Mon dieu comme jen aurais envie. Mais cest que je me demande si jaurai la force dexcution ncessaire. 5 Bernard6 went to Pont-Aven in August: see letter 664, n. 2. 7 Van Gogh says that he had been working in the wheatfields for a week. Given that it started raining on 20 June (see Date) he must have begun around 14 June, in other words after finishing The harvest (F 412 / JH 1440). He had already told Theo about that painting at length (see letters 623 and 625). The studies of wheatfields he refers to here are Wheatfield with setting sun (F 465 / JH 1473), Wheatfield (F 411 / JH 1476), Arles seen from the wheatfields (F 545 / JH 1477), Wheatfield with sheaves (F 561 / JH 1480), Wheatfield with sheaves (F 558 / JH 1481) and Wheat stacks (F 425 / JH 1442), which is not a wheatfield, but which Van Gogh includes later in the letter among the studies of wheatfields. He had painted Wheatfield (F 564 / JH 1475) previously as a preparatory study for The harvest (F 412 / JH 1440); see letter 623, n. 10. Wheat stacks with reaper (F 559 / JH 1479) was previously regarded as one of the Arles works, but is now placed in the Auvers period. See exhib. cat. Bremen 2002, p. 140, cat. no. 48. 8 Sower with setting sun (F 422 / JH 1470). Van Gogh describes the painting at an earlier stage; he worked on it again soon afterwards (see letter 634). To Theo van Gogh. Arles, Thursday, 21 June 1888. 3 Telle quelle je mets lesquisse de ct nosant presque pas y penser. Cela a dj depuis si longtemps t mon dsir de faire un semeur9 mais les dsirs que jai depuis longtemps ne saccomplissent pas toujours. Jen ai donc presque peur. Et pourtant aprs Millet et Lhermitte ce qui reste faire cest... le semeur, avec de la couleur et en grand format. 10 Parlons dautre chose. jai enfin un modle un Zouave cest un garon petite figure, cou de taureau, loeil de tigre, et jai commenc par un portrait et recommenc par un autre. [1v:3] le buste que jai peint de lui tait horriblement dur.13 en uniforme du bleu des casseroles emailles bleues, passementerie dun rouge orang fan avec deux toiles citron sur la poitrine, un bleu commun et bien dur faire. La tte feline trs bronze coiffe dun bonnet garance, je lai plaque contre une porte peinte en vert et les briques oranges dun mur. Cest donc une combinaison brutale de tons disparates pas commode mener ltude que jen ai fabrique me parait trs dure et pourtant je voudrais toujours travailler des portraits vulgaires et mme criards comme cela. Cela mapprend et voil ce que je demande surtout mon travail. Maintenant le deuxime portrait sera assis; en pied contre mur blanc. 14 As tu remarqu Dessins Raffalli La rue edit par le Figaro dernirement. le principal on dirait la place Clichy avec tout son mouvement, cest bien vivant.15 Figaro doit aussi avoir publi un numero avec dessins Caran dAche. 19 Dans la dernire lettre jai oubli de te dire que jai reu et cela maintenant depuis une quinzaine lenvoi de couleurs de Tasset. Jaurais bien besoin dun nouvel envoi 9 The subject of the sower had already occupied Van Gogh when he was in the Netherlands. See exhib. cat. Paris 1998, pp. 90-105, for an overview. 10 Van Gogh is referring here to Millet11s painting The sower, which he had repeatedly copied from prints in his early years as an artist, and to Lon Augustin Lhermitte12s drawing of the same title, Le semeur (The sower), which he knew from an engraving in Le Monde Illustr. See letters 156, n. 3 and 545, n. 8. 13 Zouave (F 423 / JH 1486). A Zouave was a French infantryman trained to serve in Africa. The sitters uniform tells us that he was a soldier and trumpeter in the third regiment. See cat. Amsterdam 2007, p. 132. 14 Seated Zouave (F 424 / JH 1488). 15 La rue par Jean-Franois Raffalli, Raffalli16 illustrations lithographed by S.

  • The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh
    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.

    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.

  • The Forgotten Ubiquity of the Zouaves
    Office of Historic Alexandria City of Alexandria, Virginia Out of the Attic The forgotten ubiquity of the Zouaves Alexandria Times, April 8, 2021 Image: Children’s Zouave-inspired spelling game, late 1800s. Fort Ward Museum collection. Photo, Melanie Gonzalez, Fort Ward Museum. ith the160th anniversary of the Marshall House incident this year, many will reflect on the first Union and Confederate casualties of W the Civil War. While Colonel Ellsworth and James Jackson center the story, less focus is placed on the makeup of Colonel Ellsworth’s regiment, the 11th New York Infantry, known as the Fire Zouaves. Though Zouave units were used by both sides during the Civil War, they were not American in origin. Starting in the 1830s, the French Army created a class of infantry regiments based on the dress and fighting style of North African cultures, like the Zouaoua tribe in Algeria. Unmistakable in a uniform of baggy trousers, short open-front jacket, sash and fez, the Zouaves distinguished themselves with a fast, agile, almost theatrical fighting style that earned them many accolades. Zouave units were used sporadically in Britain, Poland, Spain and Brazil, fighting in local disputes as well as the first and second World Wars. The last Zouave unit was disbanded from the French Army after the Algerian War in 1962. The “Blue and Gray” has become synonymous with the Civil War and led to the marginalization of Zouaves in American culture. The Zouaves found prominence during the war after the death of Colonel Ellsworth, when commemorative objects such as pins, envelopes, poetry and ceramicware, exploded onto the market.

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.

  • What Color Is the Sacred?
    What Color Is the Sacred? Michael Taussig If one of the most “sacred” aims that man can set for himself is to acquire as exact and intense an understanding of himself as possible, it seems desirable that each one, scrutinizing his memories with the greatest possible honesty, examine whether he can discover there some sign permitting him to discern the color for him of the very notion of the sacred. —michel leiris, “The Sacred in Everyday Life” (1938) 1. The Face of World History “Men in a state of nature,” writes Goethe, “uncivilized nations, and children, have a great fondness for colours in their utmost brightness.” The same applied to the people of southern Europe, especially the women with their bright colored bodices and ribbons. He recalled a German officer, re- turned from America, who had painted his face with vivid colors in the manner of the Indians, the effect of which “was not disagreeable.” On the other hand, in his northern Europe during the early nineteenth century, people of refinement had a disinclination to colors, the women wearing white, the men, black. And not only dress. Such people avoided vivid colors in the objects around them and seemed inclined, he wrote, to banish vivid colors from their presence altogether.1 I see him in my mind’s eye, this German mercenary, promenading through the streets of Frankfurt fresh from God knows what violence he inflicted out there in America with wild Indians, half-breeds, and crazed Europeans trading furs for whisky along with rings and mirrors, brightly colored greatcoats trimmed with lace, and, of course, paints for face and body, as much for the corpse as for the living.
