Pose for yourself, Vincent 📸

With little money and difficulty finding models, Vincent chooses to paint himself. He made at least 35 self-portraits and experimented with facial expression. Just look at the different looks in each painting. 🎨

‘Painting and lots of sex aren’t compatible’, wrote Van Gogh. In his view sex was disastrous for the brain and hence for the concentration. He twice declared that love of art is more important than romantic love.

Researchers think that Van Gogh added the lighter colours to this painting just over eighteen months later. Before 1885, he rarely used colour combinations like this: the narrow blue tree trunk next to the yellowy-orange autumn leaves. 🍂

Van Gogh thought that having a family would calm and inspire him. He eventually came to accept that he wouldn’t have a family of his own, and filled the hole by making art. This is symbolized in these two paintings that Van Gogh made in, after the work of Jean-François Millet.

During the initial weeks of Vincent’s stay at an asylum in Saint-Rémy, he was not allowed to leave the grounds. In the overgrown gardens within the walls of the complex, he made this work using heavily thinned oils that were left over from his time in Arles. 🎨

This self-portrait was the last work Van Gogh produced in Paris; the city had exhausted him both mentally and physically. He told his sister Wil how he had portrayed himself: ‘wrinkles in forehead and around the mouth, stiffly wooden, a very red beard, quite unkempt and sad’.😣

The composition of this painting is reminiscent of Japanese prints like those that Van Gogh copied in Paris (2). The large sun is an homage to Japan, and forms a halo around the sower’s head. In this picture, Van Gogh drew less on reality and more on his imagination. ✨

Is this a portrait of Vincent or Theo? We don’t know either! Van Gogh specialists cannot find conclusive evidence to say which brother is shown in the picture. That’s why the painting was renamed in 2019; it’s now called ‘Self-Portrait or Portrait of Theo van Gogh’.🌻

Vincent painted this path in Paris on a piece of cardboard. The small painting later became a family favourite. Vincent’s sister-in-law Jo van Gogh-Bonger kept it standing on her mantelpiece. And her son Vincent Willem later had it hanging in his home. 🖼

See the gas flame on the wall? 💡In Vincent’s time, gaslight was relatively new. So Van Gogh usually worked during the day. But when he lived in the Yellow House in Arles, he had gas fitted. This meant he and Gauguin could carry on painting into the evening by gaslight.

In his lithograph ‘Sorrow’, Van Gogh wanted to convey just how empty and unredeemable a heart can be. For this image of desperate human grief, he was inspired by a quote from the work of French historian Jules Michelet: ‘I do not want to deceive or abandon any woman’. 📝

The old farmhouses in Auvers (FR) reminded Van Gogh of his native region of Brabant (NL). After arriving in Auvers, he immediately started painting these farmhouses.

Vincent’s letters offer you a glimpse inside his head. Writing his letters, he could never have imagined that they would one day be read by millions of people, bringing us closer to the artist. Have you read any of Vincent’s letters? 📝

Lots of Parisians spent their Sundays on the water in Asnières and Vincent also liked it there. He had learned a lot from the modern, French art. ‘[…] when I painted landscape in Asnières this summer I saw more colour in it than before’, wrote Vincent to his sister Willemien.

💥😁Yay! We have enriched our collection with an early portrait by Emile Bernard, a dear artist friend of Vincent. It is almost sure that Van Gogh saw Bernard's 'Portrait of a Young Woman' soon after it was finished, and was inspired by the work. More info http://vangogh.nl/UozF50M6MJZ

Vincent loved his birthplace of Zundert. As a small boy, he enjoyed wandering alone through the heath, meadows and woods. During his walks, he collected insects, flowers, and empty bird nests.

‘Yesterday I drew a very large, rather rare night moth there which is called the death’s head, its coloration astonishingly distinguished: black, grey, white, shaded, and with glints of carmine or vaguely tending towards olive green; it’s very big’, wrote Vincent.

Vincent was keen to learn more about colours. He studied all kinds of books on colour theory, but also experimented through other ways. To study the effect of colour combinations, Van Gogh used balls of wool, like these. 🧶By doing so, he also saved precious paint.

Gustav Klimt organized exhibitions for which he brought works of art from abroad; it was the latest art of the moment. He was inspired by the French artists who painted with flat surfaces in bright colors. This resulted in a series of powerful portraits of confident women. ✨

Etienne-Lucien Martin owned a restaurant in Paris, where Van Gogh was a regular customer. Vincent painted ‘le patron’ (the boss) in his work clothes. He originally used brighter colours for the portrait. But as he worked, he changed his mind and chose muted tones instead. 🎨

On a beautiful autumn day, Vincent painted the sunlight and shadows cast on this straight avenue of poplars. The light reflects on the leaves in various shades of brown, green and yellow. 🍂

‘Now I have to change subjects, the orchards having mostly lost their blossom’, wrote Vincent in 1888. Just five days later, he had found a new source of inspiration: ‘As for me, I immediately stopped doing paintings and I’ve carried on with a series of pen drawings’. ✒️

Vincent and Theo sometimes struggled when they lived together in Paris. ‘Now he’s back to normal again and there’s no reasoning with him. It is unpleasant at home and I hope for change’, wrote Theo about his brother.

Was Vincent an open book? Or did he have secrets? Just like many of us, Vincent sometimes chose to keep things to himself. Like his relationship with Sien Hoornik, a former prostitute. He made multiple paintings of this woman. 🎨

‘In my life as a painter, and above all when I’m in the country, it’s not so difficult for me to be alone, because in the country one feels the bonds that unite us all more easily’, he wrote to his brother Theo and sister-in-law Jo in 1889. 🌻
