This catalogue contains fascinating descriptions of Van Gogh’s Works on paper and illustrations of the highest standard. It follows Van Gogh’s development as a draughtsman from the moment he decided to become an artist in the Belgian mining region ‘de Borinage’ through his stay in Saint-Rémy in the south of France – where he produced such beautiful drawings as Blooming rose bushes in the garden of the asylum – until his time in Auvers-sur-Oise.
Many of the drawings displayed Van Gogh’s great urge to experiment with materials and techniques. The catalogue provides the most up-to-date information about all 182 works on paper by Van Gogh in the collection. It incorporates the results of recent art-historical research into the date, provenance, authenticity and exhibition history of each work.
This is the first time that a study has been devoted solely to Van Gogh’s drawings in the collection. In 2003 the museum published a catalogue of the museum’s collection of Van Gogh’s paintings. The two volumes make the most recent research into Van Gogh’s work available to all. The book has been written by Teio Meedendorp and is published by Thieme GrafiMedia Groep.
