Tilborgh, Louis van : Van Gogh and Japan
- description
- additional information
In this second volume from the series ‘Van Gogh in focus’ Louis van Tilborgh describes Vincent Van Gogh’s love of Japanese graphic art. Van Gogh started collecting Japanese prints while he was living in Paris and became convinced of the need to look at things and to work ‘as the Japanese do’. But he saw his own efforts to work in their spirit as overambitious. ‘Well then, I shall never mean anything significant as a painter, I fully realize that,’ he wrote despondently. Van Gogh and Japan shows just how wrong he was.
Louis van Tilborgh is the curator of Van Gogh research at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
