Van Gogh fut l'un des artistes les plus originaux de son temps. Pourtant, son art s'enracine en grande partie dans la tradition. De quelle manière a-t-il réinventé la tradition ? Tel est le thème central de ce catalogue, exploré à travers trois genres qui dominent l'œuvre de Van Gogh : la figure, le paysage et la nature morte.

Sjraar van Heugten (né en 1957) a étudié l’histoire de l’art à l’université d’Utrecht. De 1988 à 2010, il a exercé au Van Gogh Museum d’Amsterdam, dont il a été le directeur des collections à partir de 1999. Aujourd’hui historien de l’art indépendant, il est l’auteur d’un grand nombre d’ouvrages et d’articles, principalement consacrés à Van Gogh et à ses contemporains parmi lesquels trois volumes (en tant que co-auteur pour le troisième) du catalogue des dessins de Van Gogh présents dans la collection du Van Gogh Museum.
Depuis 2014, Sjraar van Heugten a conçu plusieurs exposition pour la Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles dont Van Gogh : couleurs du Nord, couleurs du Sud (catalogue publié par Actes Sud, 2014), et Les dessins de Van Gogh : influences et innovations (catalogue publié par Actes Sud, 2015).
“I’m also convinced that it’s precisely through a long stay here that I’ll bring out my personality.”
Letter from Vincent to his brother Theo (Arles, on or about 5 June 1888)
In Provence, between 1888 and 1890, Van Gogh asserts himself definitively as one of the most original painters of his day, endowed with a highly personal vocabulary. He has come in search of the Japan that has captivated him in prints, and of the light and sun that make colour explode. For colour, as he has known since encountering the work of the Impressionists and the avant-garde painters in Paris, is the key to his own art.
He dreams of establishing a “Studio of the South”, where artists can work together in a fertile atmosphere of mutual inspiration. During the 27 months that he spends in Arles and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, he labours― like a “workman”―without respite to capture the nobility of simple things and the truth of figures, and to reproduce the splendour of the landscape and the seasons.
He deploys his fervour for painting in a thoughtful and demanding manner, working to reinterpret the classic genres of landscape, still life and portrait.
Right up to his final works, his fidelity to pictorial tradition never wavers―it is the foundation of his work.
The 31 original paintings from the exhibition are complemented and contextualised by a further 100 illustrations, which together express the continuity of Vincent van Gogh’s thinking and style and the determining role played by his stay in Provence in establishing his modernity.
