Van Gogh, a Power Seething
I believe in the absolute necessity of a new art of colour, of drawing and 'of the artistic life, Vincent van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo in 1888. Van Gogh made us see the world in a new way. His shining landscapes of Provence and sombre portraits of workers shattered the relationship between light and dark, and his hallucinatory visions were so bright they nearly blinded the world. He was a great writer as well. In more than six hundred letters to Theo he chronicled with heart-breaking urgency his mental breakdowns, acrimonious family relations, and struggles with art dealers, who largely ignored him until the last years of his life. Shading this dark story is the artist's acquaintance with prostitutes and penury, stormy scenes with his friend Paul Gauguin, and dissipated Parisian nights with Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Julian Bell's passion for his subject brings the painter to life.kunst

Van Gogh, a Life in Places
Early in his career, as he grappled with the idea of becoming an artist, Vincent van Gogh attempted portraiture, possibly with a mission in the religious sense. His models were impoverished miners, weavers and peasants. Later, his great achievement was in still life, landscape painting and further portraits all closely related to the places where he lived. He moved from place to place, from his parents' vicarage to the homes of impoverished peasants, from seaside Ramsgate, and landmarks in London to the heights of Montmartre, from the famous Yellow House in Arles to hospital then a nearby asylum. Finally, he wandered the fields and streets of Auvers, near Paris. Wherever he lived, he drew and painted. As well as the places where he stayed, he painted the homes of others, and monuments that attracted him, such as churches or even suburban factories. These became the subject of an alternative kind of portraiture - one that did not involve people. His developing, emphatic and highly individual style suited the different character of the buildings he so carefully recorded. Each place, about which he also wrote at length, provides us with a solid framework with which to follow and understand him. Van Gogh's life will be revealed not only through the included illustrations of his art, but with much quotation from letters. 'Van Gogh, a Life in Places' hopes to answer the questions: Why was he there?kunst
Théo van Rysselberghe
The key figure of Belgian Neo-Impressionism, Théo Van Rysselberghe (1862-1926) has a considerable reputation outside his own country. Van Rysselberghe had ties with the outstanding Belgian and French painters of his day and painted a number of portraits of friends such as Emile Verhaeren, Edmond Picard, Camille Lemonnier, André Gide, Paul Signac, and Henri-Edmond Cross. Through his art, the painter entered into a dialogue with his contemporaries, including Seurat, Signac, Cross, Van de Velde, Morren, Lemmen, and Finch. A number of styles can be observed: Orientalism (his first travels in Morocco), Impressionism (seascapes painted near Knokke, scenes from Moroccan life), Neo-Impressionism, portraits, and his late works (seascapes, landscapes, and female nudes).kunst
