    Vincent van Gogh – Ein Leben voller Kunst und Tragik

    March 30, 2023 / 0 Comments

    Vincents Leben war von persönlichen Kämpfen und Rückschlägen geprägt, von seinen frühen Kämpfen mit Armut und Obdachlosigkeit bis hin zu seinen späteren Kämpfen mit psychischen Erkrankungen.

    Wie van Gogh sein Ohr verlor

    March 17, 2014 / 1 Comment

    Die Mythen, die sich um Vincent van Gogh ranken, sind zahlreich, wobei der bekannteste sicherlich der seiner Selbstverstümmelung ist, und die Meisten, die den Namen van Gogh hören, denken wahrscheinlich zuerst an genau diesen Vorfall: Der Maler wird eines morgens blutüberströmt und mit einer Wunde am linken Ohr aufgefunden. Er selbst kann sich an nichts erinnern. Obwohl heute noch nicht einmal klar ist, ob van Gogh in jener Nacht sein ganzes oder nur einen Teil seines linken Ohres verlor, ist van Gogh von nun an als der Künstler bekannt, der sich selbst ein Ohr abgeschnitten hat. Über den genauen Hergang sowie über Motive und Beweggründe wurde viel spekuliert, aber nur…

    Sunny Side Up

    February 20, 2014 / 0 Comments

    Ear-chopping episode aside, sunflowers are probably one of the most iconic images associated with Vincent van Gogh. Beloved for their sunny, cheerful appearance and bold shapes, it has been estimated that around 5 million people see the artist’s paintings of these flowers every year. Van Gogh had previously painted pictures of dying sunflower heads during his time in Paris, in 1886-1888. Increasingly concerned with symbolism, he returned to colourful flowers when preparing for his fellow artist, Paul Gauguin, to come and stay with him in Arles. Excited for his friend’s visit, Van Gogh wanted to offer him a warm welcome and seized upon paintings of sunflowers as the ideal decorative…

    Van Gogh, Repeated

    January 10, 2014 / 0 Comments

    Infamous for cutting off his own ear and likely causing his own death by shooting himself in the stomach, Vincent van Gogh is the undisputed embodiment of the mad artist. Combine this image with his frenzied brushstrokes and vivid colours, and it is unsurprising that his artistic method is seen as impulsive and somewhat violent. So you may be surprised to learn that Van Gogh actually spent much time thinking carefully about his works, reconsidering his style and compositions. He did this especially through repetitions. You may well recognise his portrait of Joseph Roulin, the postman- but you might not be recognising quite what you think. There are six of…

    Van Gogh – délit de copie japonaise

    January 29, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Non Van Gogh n’est jamais allée au Japon, même si les plaisirs asiatiques (opium et autres geishas), auraient certainement convenu à sa nature artistique. On connaît bien sûr les épisodes scandaleux de sa vie : sa mélancolie/folie, son oreille coupée, son alcoolisme, son errance à la recherche d’un havre de paix. On sait moins spontanément qu’il a trouvé une source d’inspiration formidable dans les estampes japonaises qui arrivent en Europe avec les expositions internationales. Après les impressionnistes, le japonisme a engendré une seconde mini-révolution artistique en France. Quelle ironie : l’Asie est aujourd’hui accusée de plagiats, de copies et de produire de nombreux faux. À l’époque au contraire ce sont les Européens…
