Van Gogh - still lifes

Uittreksel

From his first paintings to the colorful flower images of his later career, Vincent van Gogh (1853?1890) repeatedly painted still lifes. In this genre, he could try out various media and alternatives ? from depicting space using light and shadow to experiments with color. The first exhibition on this theme will present 27 paintings and use them to analyze the key stages in van Gogh?s life and work.00Van Gogh: Still Lifes is the first systematic exploration of this important theme in the artist?s work in an exhibition. Of the roughly 800 paintings that Vincent van Gogh (1853?1890) created during his ten-year career as an artist, some 170?about a fifth?are still lifes. It is therefore all the more remarkable that there has never been a monographic exhibition dedicated to the genre of the still life in Van Gogh?s work.00Exhibition: Museum Barberini, Potsdam, Germany (26.10.2019 - 02.02.2020).
