To Theo Van Gogh. the Hague, on Or About Monday, 11 June 1883 To Theo van Gogh. The Hague, on or about Monday, 11 June 1883. on or about Monday, 11 June 1883 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. no. b315 V/1962 Date: Vincent thanks Theo for the timely consignment with the remittance (l. 98), which must have been the second in June. Moreover, some time must have passed between the previous letter to Theo (letter 351) and the present one, because he goes into Theos reaction to that letter (ll. 3-6). We have therefore dated the letter on or about Monday, 11 June 1883. Additional: Original [1r:1] Waarde Theo, Uw brief & inhoud was me regt welkom, hartelijk dank er voor. En deed t me genoegen te zien ge de dingen bedaard opneemt, wat trouwens ik dan ook niet anders dacht. ik bedoel betreffende de gemaakte bezwaren. Nu, sedert ik laatst schreef heb ik erg getobt op die teekening van den mestvaalt.1 Het is een prachtig geval. De eerste teekening er van heeft reeds zoo veel veranderingen ondergaan nu eens hier wit, dan weer zwart geweest op verschillende plaatsen dat ik het overgebragt heb op een tweede papier omdat het eerste te gefatigueerd was. 2 En ben nu daarop op nieuw bezig. Ik moet er smorgens vroeg 1 This is the resumption of the unknown drawing that was also mentioned in letters 350 and 351. 2 The subject of the drawing is shown in the letter sketch in letter 350. After several treatments and being transferred to a new sheet, the drawing had been considerably altered in the process, as is evident from the letter sketch later in the present letter, Rubbish dump (dung-heap) (F - / JH 370). The original drawing has not been preserved. 1 2 To Theo van Gogh. The Hague, on or about Monday, 11 June 1883. voor op want dan zie ik de effekten die ik hebben moet. Kon ik t maar z krijgen als ik t in mijn gedachten heb. Nu, die tweede is op de zelfde grootte als de twee vroegeren van de veenderij & zandgraving3 & kan in de lijst. Op dit moment is er wel effekt in doch ik vrees ik t weer bederven zal. Maar daar moet men ook al niet bang voor zijn anders komt men er nooit. En tusschen de bedrijven in heb ik nog een groote studie van eene naaister gemaakt.4 Maar ik heb eene teleurstelling gehad met het Weeshuis in dit opzigt dat de permissie om er te teekenen mij niet is gegeven er waren, zeide men, geen antecedenten van dien aard en bovendien ging men schoonmaken en nieuwe vloeren leggen in de zalen. Enfin dit is nu zoo erg niet want er zijn meer weeshuizen, alleen in dit ken ik een man die ik geregeld tot model heb en dat zou me t maken van schetsen gemakkelijker hebben [1v:2] gemaakt.5 Verl. winter zag ik t Oude mannenhuis te Voorburg.7 Natuurlijk kleiner maar haast nog typiger. Toen op dien dag, t was tegen den avond, zaten de oudjes op banken & stoelen rond een oude kolomkagchel, heel echt. Misschien ga ik dat te Voorburg probeeren nu ik hier niet teregt kan. Was ook een dag op Schevening & zag daar een mooi geval van kerels met een wagen vol netten die getaand8 waren & op de duinen werden uitgespreid. Ik zal dat of t netten verstellen bepaald eens aangrijpen in groote teekening. t Is wel een verbetering Theo, dat ik die ramen & lijst heb laten maken voor fusains of wat t ook zij want dat werkt pleizierig.9 Wat ge zegt van te veel omgang met schilders niet goed maar eenigen omgang wel, vind ik wel waar. En ben om die reden ook blij v.d. Weele komt. Ja men kan wel eens t heimwee hebben 3 These are the drawing Peat diggers in the dunes (F 1031 / JH 363), and an unknown drawing referred to in letter 348 as team of workmen labouring. The first measures c. 50 x 100 cm. Cf. letter 348, n. 5. 4 This study of a woman sewing is not known. 5 The regular model was Adrianus Zuyderland6; see letter 277. 7 The Diakonie Armhuis of the Nederlands Hervormde Gemeente in Kleine Laan, A 147, now Schoolstraat 1- 3 (Oudarchief gemeente Voorburg; inventaris der bezittingen van de Diakonie Armen der Nederlands Hervormde Gemeente). 8 Means: boiled in tannin a brownish yellow dye so that the nets become more durable and take on a yellow or brownish colour. 9 For the stretching frames Van Gogh had had made for large drawings, see letter 348. To Theo van Gogh. The Hague, on or about Monday, 11 June 1883. 3 om met lui die wat weten te praten er over. En vooral als men in n zelfden geest werkt en zoekt kan men elkaar zeer veel sterken en animeeren en wordt niet zoo ligt gedecourageerd. [1v:3] men kan niet altijd buiten het vaderland leven, en t vaderland is niet de natuur alleen maar er moet bij komen menschenharten die t zelfde zoeken & voelen. En dan is t vaderland pas compleet & voelt men zich thuis. Dit is nu de compositie van de mestvaalt. K weet niet in hoever ge er uit wijs kunt worden. Voorop wijven die aschbakken leegen, daarachter de loodsen waar de mest bewaard wordt en de kerels aan t werk met kruiwagens &c. De eerste die ik maakte er van was eenigzins anders, 10 er stonden n.l. twee andere kerels op den voorgrond met zuidwesters die ze bij slecht weer dikwijls dragen, en was de groep vrouwen meer in toon. Doch dat lichteffekt is er werkelijk, daar t licht van boven tusschen de loodsen invalt op de figuren die in de gangpaden zich bevinden. t Zou een prachtig geval zijn om te schilderen. Ik denk dat gij er alles van begrijpt, ik wou dat ik er eens met Mauve over praten kon. Maar misschien is t zelfs beter van niet. Want niet altijd helpt het iemand vooruit als men raad krijgt van een ander, al is hij nog zoo knap en de knapsten zijn niet altijd ook knap in het duidelijk uitleggen van iets. Nog eens, ik weet het zelf niet wat wenschelijk is. Vooreerst, het schilderen is geenszins mijn hoofddoel en misschien krijg ik t alleen spoediger klaar voor een illustratie dan als iemand die aan illustraties volstrekt niet denken zou, mij er raad omtrent gaf. Met Rappard kan ik nog t best opschieten van allemaal. adieu kerel, t beste in alle dingen en dank voor tijdigen zending. t. t. Vincent Translation [1r:1] My dear Theo, Your letter and the contents were truly welcome, many thanks for them. And I was pleased to see that you were taking things calmly, and indeed I had expected nothing else. I mean as regards the objections raised. Well, since I last wrote Ive slaved away at that drawing of the dung-heap.11 Its a splendid sight. The first drawing of it has already undergone so many changes now white here, then black again at various places that I transferred it to a second paper because the first was too worn.12 10 For the first version of the subject, cf. the letter sketch in letter 350. 11 This is the resumption of the unknown drawing that was also mentioned in letters 350 and 351. 12 The subject of the drawing is shown in the letter sketch in letter 350. After several treatments and being transferred to a new sheet, the drawing had been considerably altered in the process, as is evident from the letter sketch later in the present letter, Rubbish dump (dung-heap) (F - / JH 370). The original drawing has not been 4 To Theo van Gogh. The Hague, on or about Monday, 11 June 1883. And am now working again on that. I have to get up early in the morning, for thats when I see the effects I want. If only I could get it as I have it in my mind. Well, the second is the same size as the two earlier ones of the peat-cutting and the sand quarry,13 and can go in the frame. There is effect in it at the moment, but I fear Ill spoil it again. But one mustnt be afraid of that, otherwise one will never get anywhere. And in the meantime Ive also done a large study of a woman sewing.14 But Ive had a disappointment with the Orphanage in that I have not been given permission to draw there there were, they said, no precedents of that kind and, furthermore, they were going to clean and lay new floors in the wards. Well, its not too bad for there are other orphanages, its just that in this one I know a man15 who has modelled for me regularly, and that would have made it [1v:2] easier for me to do sketches.16 Last winter I saw the old mens home at Voorburg.18 Smaller, of course, but almost more typical. On that day, it was near evening, the old boys were sitting on benches and chairs around an old cannon stove, very real. Perhaps Ill try that one in Voorburg now I cant do it here. Also went to Scheveningen for a day and saw a fine sight of fellows there with a cart full of nets that had been tanned and spread out on the dunes. Ill definitely tackle that or the nets being mended in a large drawing sometime. It certainly is an improvement, Theo, that I had those stretching frames and frame made for charcoal drawings or whatever it may be, for working with them is a pleasure.19 What you say about spending too much time with painters being not good but some time being all right is true, I believe.

  • OKALOOSA VOLUNTEER ART LESSONS O.V.A.L. Team
    OKALOOSA VOLUNTEER ART LESSONS O.V.A.L. Team Handbook Okaloosa District Schools Revised 9/2012 OKALOOSA VOLUNTEER ART LESSONS - OVAL ART OVAL Art began in Okaloosa County in 1988. School District Director of Fine Arts, Dr. Bruce Criswell, modeled OVAL Art after a similar program developed in Brevard County. The original manual will remain available as a download. Many changes have occurred since 1988, not least, the development of the Internet; online resources are plentiful and easy to access. Volunteers to deliver the program, alas, are not; therefore, this update will present a pragmatic and streamlined overview of the program as it has been presented in training over the last several years. All that is required of an OVAL volunteer is an enjoyment of art, and enjoyment of working with elementary age children - that's it! WHAT YOU DO: Each grade, from K - 5, has designated art prints for its program. Volunteers go into the classroom periodically, for about 30 minutes, and present the print chosen for that session. This is an art appreciation program, so offering biographical material about the artist, along with asking questions about the print, will give a good basic lesson. You may augment this with other works by the artist - there are plenty of online resources, as well as inexpensive art book series for children; and of course the library is a prime resource as well. Depending upon the print, you may want to have the class draw a version themselves, using the pencils and crayons they have, and whatever 8.5 x 11 paper the teacher can share (do try to let teachers know IN ADVANCE if the class will be drawing).

  • To Theo Van Gogh, the Hague, on Or About Friday, 13 July 1883
    To Theo van Gogh, The Hague, on or about Friday, 13 July 1883. on or about Friday, 13 July 1883 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. nos. b323 V/1962 (sheet 1) and b1036 V/1962 (sheet 2) Date: Vincent asks Theo to send a little extra, because he is already broke as a result of spending money in order to be able to start painting in Scheveningen (l. 49 and ll. 82-85). That places this letter after letter 361 of on or about 11 July 1883, since there he wrote that he wanted to work in Scheveningen. It must also have been written before the coming Sunday, when he is expecting a photographer (l. 79; in letter 363 this photographer indeed turns out to have come). We therefore date the letter on or about Friday, 13 July 1883. Additional: Original [1r:1] Waarde Theo, Voor ik naar Schevening ga wou ik nog even een woordje met U praten. Ik heb t maar eens doorgezet met de Bock dat ik bij hem een pied terre krijg. Misschien zal ik nu & dan bij Blommers eens aangaan ook.1 En dan is mijn plan een tijd lang Schevening geheel & al als hoofdzaak te beschouwen, smorgens er heen te gaan en den dag te blijven, of anders als ik thuis moet zijn dat thuis zijn in t middaguur te stellen als t te warm is en dan savonds er weer heen. Dit zou me nieuwe idees geven vertrouw ik, en rust, niet door stilzitten maar door verandering van omgeving en bezigheid.

  • New Trier Scobol Solo 2013 Round 12
    New Trier Scobol Solo 2013 PORTA Round 12 NIGRA 1. Artemis was tricked into shooting an arrow at one of this deity’s children. This deity and Apollo were forced to construct a wall for Laomedon around the city of Troy, and he seduced Demeter to father the immortal horse Arion. Out of anger towards Minos, this father of Orion caused Pasiphaë [puh-SIH-fuh-ee] to fall in love with a bull. Odysseus blinded this deity’s son Polyphemus. This deity lost the patronage of Athens by a single vote and fathered the merman Triton with his wife Amphitrite [AM-fee-TRY-tee]. Horses were sometimes sacrificed to this god, who could create earthquakes. Name this trident-wielding Greek god of the sea. Answer: Poseidon [accept Orion before “children”; do not accept “Neptune”] 2. Several pictures by this artist used Adrianus Jacobus Zuyderland as a model, including a work showing him dressed all in blue sitting in a chair with his head in his hands. In addition to that work, sometimes called Sorrowing Old Man and sometimes At Eternity’s Gate, this artist painted a man leaning on his right hand with a foxglove plant in front of him. This artist also showed a poor family eating around a table with a small lamp hanging above. In addition to Portrait of Dr. Gachet and The Potato Eaters, this artist painted Starry Night. Name this artist who cut off part of his left ear. Answer: Vincent (Willem) van Gogh 3. In July 2013, Colombia became the first country to eliminate transmission of onchocerciasis [AHN-kuh-sur-SY-uh-siss], the most common parasitic disease of this organ.
