Japanese engraving, Van Gogh, Impressionism, Japan and ArtAbstract
The article deals with the decisive influence of Japanese engraving on the work of Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh. Avid collector, Van Gogh collects over 400 prints that offer a large volume of material for study and reflection. From the apprehension of Japanese art the painter seeks new creative impulses, an escape from the conventions of Western education and a path of renewal of Impressionist French art. The text also elucidates the way Van Gogh translated the Provencal themes of Arles, southern France, into the context of Japanese aesthetics.
