Vincent
van Gogh (1853-1890) is one of the world's most beloved painters.
In the past, more than ten major exhibitions of the artist's work
have been held in Japan. This exhibition was realized with special
cooperation from the Van Gogh Museum and the Kröller-Müller
Museum, both located in Van Gogh's homeland of Holland. From the
dark hues of his early naturalistic paintings to the dazzling colors
of his later works, you will have a chance to trace the constant
changes in Van Gogh's paintings over what proved to be a brief career
through the outstanding collections of these two museums. The exhibition
also attempts to consider Van Gogh's work not as that of an isolated
figure — a "crazy" artist — but rather to
re-examine it as a part of art history. And by looking at the work
of artists such as Millet, Cézanne and Monet, who Van Gogh
knew and was influenced by, and Japanese ukiyo-e as well as books
and magazines of the era that shed light on the environment in which
he worked, the exhibition provides a cultural context for Van Gogh's
artistic activities. In viewing approximately 30 of the artist's
masterpieces, 30 works by the artists he was associated with and
60 related documents, visitors will discover a new Van Gogh, one
who differs widely from the familiar legend.
