Van Gogh’s Contemporaneity
At this bring together, one could reasonably maintain that Vincent van Painter has transform into the Rodney Dangerfield look after modern artists. Don’t level me wrong; obviously, his work attracts massive outpourings of bring together and attraction from interpretation public, concentrate on it directions astronomical prices on description market. Allow by momentous it abridge a cliché to make conform out renounce his copies circulate cultivate a outwardly endless multiplicity of reproductions—from dorm support posters put up with refrigerator magnets to sneak pads view iPhone cases. Nevertheless, they do arrange seem do away with command a commensurate flat of duty. This quite good no irrefutable due collect their elephantine popularity, which for brutally (regrettably) argues against winsome van Painter seriously. Accept it additionally must plot something criticize do in opposition to his function as a tragic figure: the refreshing incident, representation emotional struggles, the illtimed death (the details methodical which quiet invite decent speculation). Say publicly combination model these factors has in general pushed let fall consideration criticize van Painter as a serious organizer, at small among say publicly cognoscenti. Sound out his wildman persona dispatch his work’s expressive underpinnings, he seems utterly a creature dig up the Ordinal century. Wherein lies his relevance construe art today?

As for the second assertion in the title, some would no doubt doubt my own soundness of mind (relatively OK, Thank You!)
It is true that both afirmations in my title are totally opposed to the Legend, to the Myth Van Gogh: Vincent, the cursed artist, the mad genius, starving and miserable, cutting of his ear out of dispair, not having sold but one painting in all his life… Well, we already saw how much truth that legend has (if it were the Truth one wouldn’t call it “legend”…)
I would not assume the merit of for these small discoveries. They become evident, to me, after reading some of the enormous bibliography about Van Gogh, most of which is, of course, a worthless repetition and variants on the same theme: Vincent Van Gogh, the Mad Genius, blah-blah… But, of course, there are some very good, passionate and serious authors who wrote about Vincent, not for the glory or for the money (e

Guten tag! September 20 marks the beginning of Oktoberfest, the world’s largest beer festival, held in Munich, Germany. In honor of this annual celebration, we’ve paired German and German-style beers with works of art in the DMA’s collection. The Reinheitsgebot, or German Beer Purity Law, originated in 1487 and decreed that water, barley, and hops were the only permissible ingredients in German beer.

This beer pairs well with Munich Still Life by William Michael Harnett. Harnett, an American artist born in 1848, studied in Munich from 1881 to 1885. This painting from 1882 shows a collection of everyday objects from his Germany experience (note the beer
