Van Gogh in America

ISBN: 9780895580047

Pages :
Book Description
As the first public museum in the United States to purchase a painting by Vincent van Gogh, the Detroit Institute of Arts is celebrating its historic accomplishment with a groundbreaking exploration of the introduction and early reception in America of the iconic artist's work. The painting in question is Self-Portrait, produced in Paris during the summer of 1887-with a light palette initially informed by Impressionist works-and acquired by the museum in 1922. To contextualize his work, Van Gogh in America brings together approximately 60 of Van Gogh's paintings, drawings, and prints from collections around the world. Essays by leading Van Gogh scholars from the Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands and The Metropolitan Museum of Art chronicle the considerable efforts made by early promoters of modernism in the United States, including dealers, collectors, private art organizations, public institutions, and the Van Gogh family, to frame the artist's biography and introduce his artistic production into the American consciousness.

A Memoir of Vincent van Gogh
Author: Jo van Gogh-Bonger
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 1606065602
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
The general outlines of Vincent van Gogh’s life—the early difficulties in Holland and Paris, the revelatory impact of the move to Provence, the attacks of madness and despair that led to his suicide—are almost as familiar as his paintings. Yet neither the paintings nor Van Gogh’s story might have survived at all had it not been for his sister-in-law, the teacher, translator, and socialist Jo van Gogh-Bonger. Jo married the painter’s brother, Theo, in 1889, and over the next two years lived through the deaths of both Vincent and her new husband. Left with an infant son, she inherited little save a cache of several hundred paintings and an enormous archive of letters. Advised to consign these materials to an attic, she instead dedicated her life to making them known. Over the next three decades she tirelessly promoted Vincent’s art, organizing major exhibitions and compiling and editing the correspondence, the first edition of which included, as a preface, her account of Van Gogh’s life. This short biography, written from a vantage point of familial intimacy, affords a revealing and, at times, heartbreaking testimony to the painter’s perilous life. An introduction by the art critic and scholar Martin Gayford provides an insightful discussion of the author’s relationship with the Van Goghs, while abundant color illustrations throughout the book trace the development of the painter’s signature style.

Pages : 232
Book Description
'I have a more or less irresistible passion for books' Vincent van GoghVincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was famously driven by his passion for God, for art - and for books. Vincent's life with books is examined here chapter by chapter, from his early adulthood, when he considered becoming a pastor, to his decision to be a painter, to the end of his life. He moved from Holland to Paris to Provence; at each moment, ideas he encountered in books defined and guided his thoughts and his life. Vincent's letters to his brother refer to at least 200 authors. Books and readers - whether dreaming or deeply absorbed - are frequent subjects of his paintings.Vincent not only read fiction, he also knew many works of art from detailed descriptions and illustrations in monographs, biographies and museum guides. Always keeping up to date, he never missed the latest literary and artistic magazines. This thought-provoking and original study takes the reader on an artistic-literary journey through Vincent's discoveries, his favourite authors and best-loved books, revealing a continuous dialogue between his own work, the artists and the authors who inspired him, and giving life to his comment: 'Books and reality and art are the same kind of thing for me.'
