9 Exhibition on Screen – Van Gogh a New Way of Seeing 2015, Run Exhibition on Screen – Van Gogh A New Way of Seeing 2015, Run Time 90 minutes Given complete and unprecedented access to the treasures of Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum, this is a major new film about one of the world's greatest and most popular artists. This film provides viewers with the moving and inspiring experience of seeing Vincent's iconic masterpieces close-up on the screen. New insights and interpretations are offered by specially invited guests including V. Willem van Gogh, great-grandson of Theo van Gogh, and contemporary artist Lachlan Goudie. Recent research explores the many myths surrounding Vincent's troubled life. And Vincent's illuminating letters to his family and friends are brought to life by dramatisation putting flesh on the bones in a new biography. We look deeply at the life of a man who reminds us that, "Art is long and life is short."

De grondslag van al die activiteiten is het wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Wegens een nijpend tekort aan mensen en middelen is het voor hedendaagse musea alles- behalve vanzelfsprekend om wetenschappelijk werk te verrichten. Wij zijn dan ook trots dat het jaar 2007 voor het Van Gogh Museum bijzon- der rijk was aan onderzoeksinitiatieven en wetenschappelijke publica- ties, met zelfs de lancering van een nieuwe wetenschappelijke serie: Van Gogh Studies. De tentoonstellingen, de vaste collectie en de vele activiteiten in het Van Gogh Museum trokken dit jaar weer een massa geïnteresseerden aan: met ruim 1,55 miljoen bezoekers kwam het Van Gogh Museum in 2007 in de groep van de 25 meest bezochte musea ter wereld terecht.

  • Vincent Van Gogh, Auvers, 1890 Oil on Jute, 36 X 36 In
    Vincent van Gogh, Auvers, 1890 Oil on jute, 36 x 36 in. (91.4 x 91.4 cm.) New York Private Collection Fig. 1 Vincent van Gogh, Auvers, 1890 Oil on jute, 36 x 36 in. (91.4 x 91.4 cm.) Signed on verso, ‘Vincent’ New York Private Collection Auvers,1890, Vincent van Gogh This is the discovery of a full-size van Gogh painting, one of only two in the past 100 years. The work depicts a view of a landscape at Auvers-sur-Oise, the town north of Paris where he spent the last two months of his life. The vista shows a railroad line crossing wheat fields. Auvers, 1890 (Figs. 1-13) is van Gogh’s largest and only square painting. This unique format was chosen to represent a panorama of the wheat fields of the region, of which parts are shown in many of his other paintings of the Auvers landscape. The present painting portrays the entire valley of the Oise as a mosaic of wheat fields, bisected by the right of way of a railway and a telegraph line. The center depicts a small railway station with station houses and a rail shunt, the line disappearing into the distant horizon. The painting is in its original, untouched ondition.c The support is coarse burlap on the original stretcher. The paint surface is a thick impasto that has an overall broad grid pattern of craquelure consistent with a painting of its age. The verso of the painting bears the artist’s signature, Vincent, in black pigment.

  • 7. Headings Etc with Properties Title
    Vincent van Gogh Summary of Van Gogh’s life Vincent van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post- Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterized by bold colors and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. His suicide at 37 followed years of mental illness and poverty. Van Gogh was unsuccessful during his lifetime, and was considered a madman and a failure. He became famous after his suicide, and exists in the public imagination as the quintessential misunderstood genius, the artist "where discourses on madness and creativity converge". His reputation began to grow in the early 20th century as elements of his painting style came to be incorporated by the Fauves and the German Expressionists. He attained widespread critical, commercial and popular success over the ensuing decades, and is remembered as an important but tragic painter, whose troubled personality typifies the romantic ideal of the tortured artist.

  • Vincent Van Gogh, Who Grew up Walking the Dutch Countryside
    "Sorrowful yet always rejoicing," Vincent van Gogh, who grew up walking the Dutch countryside, traveled through life seeking the eternal "Light that rises in the darkness"- like these swans readying for flight south of Amsterdam. From the pain and beauty of his journey, he created masterworks of passion, including penetrating self-portraits, such as this one at age 34. Van Gogh likened painting to performing music. "Whether I really sang a lullaby in colors," he wrote, "I leave to the critics." National Geographic, October, 1997 By JOEL L. SWERDLOW, ASSISTANT EDITOR Photographs by LYNN JOHNSON THE LETTERS FROM VINCENT VAN GOGH to his brother Theo are yellowed. Some are torn at the corners or have holes from aging. Acid from ink eats through the cheap paper. I have come to this bombproof vault in the cellar of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam to begin my search for Vincent. Who was this man who said he "sang a lullaby in colors:' and why does he have such a hold on us? His paintings sell for the most money; his exhibitions attract the highest number of visitors; reproductions of his work-on socks, sheets, party napkins, coffee cups-permeate homes and offices; the song "Vincent" has sold more than ten million copies since 1971; movies mythologize his life. No other artist, at any time in any culture, has been more popular. THE 650 LETTERS from Vincent to Theo fill three volumes. Their first surprise is immediate: I knew that Theo financed Vincent's painting and had assumed Theo was the big brother.

Mr. Kohn VAN GOGH BOOK READING GUIDE QUESTIONS Pages 39-61 Vincent the Dog 1883-85 I am getting to be like a dog, I feel that the future will probably make me more ugly and rough, and I foresee that “a certain poverty” will be my fate, but, I shall be a painter. --Letter to Theo, December 1883 Vincent came home ready to give his parents another chance to do the right thing. If only his father would apologize for throwing him out of the house, they could all settle down to the important business of Vincent’s becoming an artist. Mr. van Gogh didn’t see it that way. He and Vincent’s mother welcomed their thirty-year-old problem child, but they were ambivalent at the prospect of having him back in the nest. After a few days Vincent wrote humorously yet bitterly to Theo, comparing himself to a stray dog. 39 Dear brother, I feel what Father and Mother think of me instinctively(I do not say intelligently). They feel the same dread of taking me in the house as they would about taking in a big rough dog.

"Vincent van Gogh was from Brabant, and was a rebel and an innovator. Light inspired him and it was central to his work, just like it is at ASML," says Peter Wennink, President and CEO of ASML. “This collaboration gives us the opportunity to help connect and preserve the Van Gogh heritage in Amsterdam and Brabant and to share our knowledge with a wider audience. " ‘Vincentre’ Museum Nuenen Vincent van Gogh painted his first masterpiece in Nuenen in 1885: "The Potato Eaters". It was the result of an intensive search for perspective and light that characterizes his Brabant period. By linking Van Gogh’s life story to the innovative Brainport region, ASML and Van Gogh Brabant are able to further enhance the appeal of the region. This collaboration contributes to the realization of the planned extensions to the Vincentre Museum. In addition, ASML will initiate the realization of the ‘Vincent’s Lightlab’ within the expansion of Vincentre Museum.

  • 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.
