To Theo Van Gogh. Arles, on Or About Monday, 13 August 1888 To Theo van Gogh. Arles, on or about Monday, 13 August 1888. on or about Monday, 13 August 1888 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. nos. b565 a-b V/1962 Date: The letter was written before Wednesday, 15 August, the day Van Gogh sent a telegram to Theo to tell him that Milliet would be arriving on Friday (letter 661) in the present letter he still thinks it will be Sunday. It is also likely that it follows letter 659 of about Sunday, 12 August: in that one he acknowledges receipt of his painting supplies, and this would have enabled him to start the new study of barges with men unloading sand that he mentions here. This dating also makes it plausible for Vincent to have asked Theo whether the drawings he sent on 8 August (letter 657) had meanwhile arrived. For all these reasons we have dated the letter on or about Monday, 13 August 1888. Additional: Original [1r:1] Mon cher Theo. hier jai pass la soire avec ce sous lieutenant et il compte partir Vendredi dici alors il sarrtera une nuit Clermont et de Clermont il tenverra une dpche pour te dire par quel train il arrive. Dimanche matin selon toutes probabilits. Le rouleau quil tapportera contient 36 tudes, 1 dans le nombre il y en a beaucoup dont je suis desesprement mcontent et 1 This second consignment from Arles can be reconstructed to a significant extent. As well as the five works mentioned by Van Gogh (see nn. 2 -6 below), the batch certainly included the following seven paintings, which we know that Theo had from later letters: Joseph Roulin (F 433 / JH 1524), Mousm (F 431 / JH 1519), The harvest (F 412 / JH 1440), Fishing boats at sea (F 417 / JH 1453), Newly mown lawn with a weeping tree (F 428 / JH 1499), Cottages in Saintes-Maries (F 419 / JH 1465) and Rocks with a tree (F 466 / JH 1489). See letters 662, 673, 678 and 680. It can be assumed from the provenance (Jo van Gogh-Bonger2) that the following 22 works, painted between May and August 1888 and for the most part mentioned in the letters, were also part of the consignment: View of 1 2 To Theo van Gogh. Arles, on or about Monday, 13 August 1888. que pourtant je tenvoie lorsque3 cela te donnera quand mme une ide vague de bien beaux motifs dans la nature. il y a par exemple une pochade que jai faite de moi charg de boites, de batons, dune toile, sur la route ensoleille de Tarascon, 4 il y a une vue du Rhne o le ciel et leau sont dune couleur dabsinthe avec un pont bleu et des figures de voyous noires, 5 il y a le semeur, 6 un lavoir, 7 et dautres encore tout fait mal venus et inachevs, surtout [1v:2] un grand paysage avec des brousailles. 8 Quest devenu le Souvenir de Mauve, 9 nen ayant plus entendu parler jai t port croire que Tersteeg taurait dit quelquechose de desagrable pour faire savoir quon le refuserait ou autre misre. Naturellement je ne men ferais pas de mauvais sang dans ce cas. Je travaille dans ce moment une etude comme ceci des bateaux vu den haut dun quai, les deux bateaux sont dun rose violac, leau est trs verte, pas de ciel, un drapeau tricolore au mt. Un ouvrier avec une brouette dcharge du sable.11 Arles with irises in the foreground (F 409 / JH 1416), Farmhouse in a wheatfield (F 408 / JH 1417), Landscape with the edge of a road (F 567 / JH 1419), Field with farmhouses (F 576 / JH 1423), Still life with coffeepot (F 410 / JH 1426), Basket of lemons (F 384 / JH 1425), Daisies in a bowl (F 591 / JH 1429), Fishing boats at sea (F 415 / JH 1452), Fishing boats on the beach at Saintes-Maries (F 413 / JH 1460), Row of cottages in Saintes-Maries (F 420 / JH 1462), Wheatfield with setting sun (F 465 / JH 1473), Zouave (F 423 / JH 1486), Seated Zouave (F 424 / JH 1488), Garden with flowers (F 430 / JH 1510), Garden with flowers (F 429 / JH 1513), Farmhouse (F 565 / JH 1443), Head of a girl (F 535 / JH 1467), Wheatfield (F 411 / JH 1476), Arles seen from the wheatfields (F 545 / JH 1477), Wheatfield with sheaves (F 561 / JH 1480), Wheatfield (F 564 / JH 1475) and Wheatfield with sheaves (F 558 / JH 1481). The following works from the May-August 1888 period, whose provenance cannot be traced back to Jo van Gogh-Bonger with certainty, are candidates for the remaining two studies in the batch: The Langlois bridge with a lady with a parasol (F 570 / JH 1421), Wild flowers in a majolica jug (F 600 / JH 1424), View of Saintes-Maries (F 416 / JH 1447) and Wheat stacks (F 425 / JH 1442). The last of these is signed, and this makes it likely that it was sent to Theo (cf. the remark about signing works at the end of the letter). 3 Read: puisque. 4 The painter on the road to Tarascon (F 448 / JH 1491). 5 The Trinquetaille bridge (F 426 / JH 1468). 6 Sower with setting sun (F 422 / JH 1470). 7 Canal with washerwomen (F 427 / JH 1490). 8 Sunset at Montmajour (F - / JH -). See letter 636, n. 3. 9 Pink peach trees (Souvenir de Mauve) (F 394 / JH 1379), dedicated to Mauve10 and given to his widow. See letter 590, n. 5. 11 The letter sketch Quay with sand barges (F - / JH 1557) is after the painting Quay with sand barges (F 449 / To Theo van Gogh. Arles, on or about Monday, 13 August 1888. 3 Jen ai aussi un dessin.12 As tu reu les trois dessins du jardin. 14 On finira par ne plus les prendre la poste parceque le format est trop grand. Je crains que je naurai pas un bien beau modle de femme. elle avait promis puis elle a ce qui parait gagn des sous en [1v:3] faisant la noce et a mieux faire. Elle tait extraordinaire, le regard tait comme celui de Delacroix. et une tournure bizarre primitive. Je prends les chses avec patience faute de voir dautres moyens de les supporter mais cest agaant cette contrarit continuelle avec les modles. Jespre faire de ces jours ci une tude de lauriers roses.15 Si on peignait lisse comme Bouguereau les gens nauraient pas honte de se laisser peindre mais je crois que cela ma fait perdre des modles quon trouvait que cetait mal fait, ce ntait que des tableaux pleins de peinture que je faisais. Alors les bonnes putains ont peur de se compromettre et quon se moquera de leur portrait. Mais il y a de quoi se dcourager presque quant on sent quon pourrait faire des chses si les gens avaient plus de bonne volont. Je ne peux pas me rsigner dire les raisins sont verts, 16 je ne men console pas de ne pas avoir plus de modles. Enfin il faut patienter et en rechercher dautres. Maintenant la soeur viendra bientt passer un temps avec toi, je nen doute pas quelle samusera.18 [1r:4] Cest une perspective assez triste de devoir se dire que jamais peuttre la peinture que je fais aura une valeur quelconque. Si cela valait ce que cela coute je pourrais me dire, je ne me suis jamais occup de largent. Mais dans les circonstances prsentes au contraire on en absorbe. Enfin et tout de mme il faut encore continuer et chercher mieux faire. Bien souvent il me semble plus sage daller chez Gauguin au lieu de lui recommander la vie dici, je crains tant quau bout du compte il ne se plaigne davoir t drang. Ici cela nous sera-t-il possible de vivre chez nous, pourrons nous arriver JH 1558). 12 The drawing is Quay with sand barges (F 1462 / JH 1556). Van Gogh added the drawing from the consignment that Milliet13 took to Theo; see letter 662. 14 Garden with flowers (F 1456 / JH 1537), Garden of a bathhouse (F 1457 / JH 1539) and Garden with flowers (F 1455 / JH 1512). See letter 657. 15 Van Gogh made two paintings of oleanders: Oleander branches in a majolica jug (F 593 / JH 1566) and Oleander branches in a majolica jug (F 594 / JH 1567). 16 The saying grapes are sour is taken from Jean de La Fontaine17, Le renard et les raisins , Fables , iii, 11. See Fontaine 1974, vol. 1, p. 122. 18 Willemien19 stayed with Theo for a couple of weeks; she went to Paris on 15 August (FR b2421) and stayed until early September (letter 672). Originally Elisabeth20 was to have gone with her; cf. letter 615, n. 7. 4 To Theo van Gogh. Arles, on or about Monday, 13 August 1888. joindre les deux bouts. lorsque21 cela cest un essai nouveau. Or en Bretagne nous pouvons calculer ce que cela coutera et ici je nen sais rien. Je continue trouver la vie assez chre et on navance gure avec les gens. Ici il y aurait des lits et quelques meubles acheter puis les frais de son voyage et tout ce quil doit. Cela me parait risquer plus que de juste lorsque en Bretagne Bernard et lui dpensent si peu. Enfin il faudra bientt se dcider et de mon ct je nai pas de preferences. Cest la simple question de decider o nous avons le plus de chance de vivre bon march.[2r:5] Je dois crire encore aujourdhui Gauguin pour lui demander ce quil paye des modles et pour savoir sil y en a.

  • 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.

  • A Little Tour in France
    A LITTLE TOUR IN FRANCE with ninety-four illustrations by JOSEPH PENNELL LONDON WILLIAM HEINEMANN 1900 Preface Preface The notes presented in this volume were gathered, as will easily be perceived, a number of years ago and on an expectation not at that time answered by the event, and were then published in the United States. The expectation had been that they should accompany a series of drawings, and they themselves were altogether governed by the pictorial spirit. They made, and they make in appearing now, after a considerable interval and for the first time, in England, no pretension to any other; they are impressions, immediate, easy, and consciously limited; if the written word may ever play the part of brush or pencil, they are sketches on "drawing-paper" and nothing more. From the moment the principle of selection and expression, with a tourist, is not the delight of the eyes and the play of fancy, it should be an energy in every way much larger; there is no happy mean, in other words, I hold, between the sense and the quest of the picture, and the surrender to it, and the sense and the quest of the constitution, the inner springs of the subject—springs and connections social, economic, historic. One must really choose, in other words, between the benefits of the perception of surface—a perception, when fine, perhaps none of the most frequent—and those of the perception of very complex underlying matters. If these latter had had, for me, to be taken into account, my pages would not have been collected.

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.

Thursday, 5 July 1888 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. no. b549 V/1962 Date: The letter must date from early July: Van Gogh refers to the consignment of painting supplies from Tasset (ll. 26-27) which he had received at the end of June (see letter 635). The fact that he had recently paid the rent indicates that it was towards the beginning of the month (ll. 40-41). In letter 637 of Sunday, 8 or Monday, 9 July he says referring to the present letter that he wrote last Thursday, which means that it must have been written on Thursday, 5 July 1888.
