Description

The collection in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam incorporates almost 200 drawings from the years in which Vincent van Gogh worked in France in Arles, Saint-Remy and Auvers-sur-Oise. These are catalogued here in one extensive volume, which forms the largest and final a part of the complete catalogue of Van Gogh drawings in the Van Gogh Museum’s collections.
In February 1888, Van Gogh settled in Arles, where he was once extraordinarily productive, but sold no pictures, and suffered recurrent nervous crises with hallucinations and depression. In May 1889 he went at his own request into an asylum at Saint-Remy, near Arles, but continued all through the year he spent there to produce paintings and drawings. In 1889 Vincent’s brother Theo married and in May 1890 Vincent moved to Auvers-sur-Oise to be near him. There followed some other tremendous burst of activity, but his spiritual anguish and depression became more acute and on 19 July 1890 he died from the results of a self-inflicted bullet wound.
Van Gogh’s most necessary drawings were made on this productive and traumatic period. This catalogue is the results of many years of research and incorporates detailed discussion of each and every drawing, full technical data, a comprehensive bibliography, and lists of written sources and exhibitions. Two wide-ranging introductory essays discuss stylistic development in the drawings and Van Gogh’s materials, technique and experimentation.
