Headline: 📝 ‘Not a mortal soul used to buy Vincents; now they’re falling over themselves to get a Van Gogh. Why? Because someone who recognizes Vincent’s beauty happens to lead the herd’, wrote art dealer Albert Plasschaert. After Van Gogh’s death in 1890, appreciation of his work gradually began to grow in the Netherlands. Helene Kröller-Muller built up the second largest collection of work by Vincent van Gogh. Those works are now on display at the Kröller-Müller Museum. 🌻 Vincent van Gogh, Landscape with wheat sheaves and rising moon (1889) collection Kröller-Müller Museum.

Headline: Caption this. We’ll kick off: ‘Me and my gang in a bar at 3 am, watching our friend kissing someone’. 😍 🔍 Van Gogh had a large collection of illustrations, which he cut out of magazines and newspapers. Like this print from the English illustrated newspaper The Graphic. He collected all sorts of images: of war, of couples in love, and of scenes like this. He liked distinctive heads, like we see in this print. 🌻 Karl Gussow, ‘The Spectators’, from the illustrated newspaper The Graphic (1874)

Headline: Did Vincent lose the ambition to make art towards the end of his life? After being admitted to the asylum in Saint-Rémy, Vincent writes more often about death in his letters. He is also afraid that the attacks of his illness may return. In the final paintings that he made of the wheatfields near Auvers, he wanted to express ‘sadness, extreme loneliness’. And yet not everything about these landscapes was negative. Shortly before his death, Vincent wrote to his brother Theo and his sister-in-law Jo: ‘I'd almost believe that these canvases will tell you what I can't say in words, what I consider healthy and fortifying about the countryside’. At the end of his life, Vincent still reached for his brushes and like always, found comfort in nature. Vincent van Gogh, Wheatfield under Thunderclouds, (1890) #artistambitions #museumathome
