to come down to get closer to. the prime time activism to conquer all up on what's i love many pang to opt. still searching. for gang bang all morning. so john. but is everybody. caught my favorite so i want to visit his place i want to see where he lives and. they search for him in the fields of france. and at exhibitions worldwide vincent has a huge digital image. sunflowers. expect to say it's something that every artist tries to translate shifts here. they are. vincent van gough lives on especially in people's minds because

his life has become the stuff of legend but who was he really and how did his legend grow to become an international phenomenon. where school was a village northwest of paris bengal came here in may 18th 19th and though the 70 days created dozens of oil paintings on july 27 aged just 37 he shot himself and died of his wounds 2 days later. dominique shall yun sins presides over the institute bangali you know there a village which artists and morning also visited. tourism and i come here every week to clean up

a bit of the dried leaves and so forth. and i find that visitors have left messages and gaps. asian people bring oranges and lemons. i want to become your own here's a statuette of a person holding a guitar. every day people bring flowers. jewish people place stones on the grave. and here you can see ashes. cremated remains of artists who wanted to be laid to rest at their front garden you keep it on video it don't go. this is the or bears a small hotel where van gough lived and worked in or where school was in 1905 dominique. a belgian entrepreneur bought it and founded the institute van gogh to preserve the artist's memory. he leased out the bar where van gogh once sat it's

now a restaurant. vango his attic room is where he died in july 8090. i have 2 different types of visitors. there are the funky junkies who know everything about him and his paintings he's like a hero to them. that's about 10 to 15 percent of. another 10 to 15 percent have read his letters or so. and then the rest only know the hollywood 5 ga so they're not the man who cut off one of his ears was associated with prostitutes drank a lot and killed himself and i don't know if you really know because you see. this is the so painted in 888 lang is often portrayed as

a typical artist misunderstood impoverished struggling with himself over a period of 10 years he created nearly 900 paintings and more than 1000 drawings a huge achievement he also wrote an estimated 900 letters in some of them he spoke about the meaning of life. possessed enormous creative energy but was he driven by his so-called madness or by his genius. on an expression on the lawn where you've heard the saying you can't see the forest for the trees. for so many myths and misunderstandings have grown up around found god that you can hardly see the historical reality that's another story to do new press going to. val to vend a vein is scientific advisor at the vango institute and an internationally

recognized expert on the life and work of the artist. vandeven wrote his doctoral thesis on bangles literary role models and has spent years studying his correspondence. he also transcribed the artist's letters for the van gogh museum in amsterdam vandeven says that a selective reading of this correspondence and skewers the artist's image including for example his pragmatism. was an odd dealer before he became an artist. vincent and his brother theo worked for some of the top dealers of their time theo provided vincent with financial support throughout his life early on vincent set high goals for himself he often wore fine clothes he spoke several languages and read books favored by the dutch educated elite lepard ali dawn of the brothers

intellectual environment was shaped by those books their lives were very very middle class and. the books at their own were beautifully made with gilt edges and leather covers. and so they were not poor and unfair to kate had as is so often claimed all. on the contrary they were very cultured and sophisticated people who really. in many of his letters vincent talked about money but not because he was poor hard work and financial success were part of his religious beliefs. were the 1st from greece and in the last longer he was always talking about making money. and you have to remember that he was a dutch calvinist you're someone who grew up that had tradition in which social function plays a major role. really you don't see here so that was his motivation artists

have to be. really compensated for their work. he paid a lot of attention to the business side of things. it's hard to get people to understand that because it is usually for trade as an unselfish hero who sacrificed himself for his art it was. created paintings because he believed that they had economic value. like an art dealer says only only back then it was not a case of art for art's sake if you know when i speak on this topic at conferences also a lot of people reject this view as you know it's like they have this image of a selfless. to do that of a small and also on the. margin

book who did it you just saw it deals i believe that vincent and tail found god created a company incorporate the func often corporation so to speak you know. i know of no other company that was founded in 880 s. and is still so successful today that's what he did also it's very profitable and a lot of people share and those profits are on. the 1st years of the corporation went badly and during their lifetime vincent and theo didn't make a lot of money from it but today the bangle business is booming and. this is the village of labeled a pulse in the south of france. a bangle multimedia display is located in an old line stone quarry.

the artist's life as expressed in his paintings. the images on cory. graft to a special soundtrack. he left all his mistakes behind and that makes him infinitely charming. and despite those mistakes and his personal problems he's now an enormously successful one of the world's most famous painters normal. was absolutely fearless and saw his virginity and vulnerability as qualities so many people find that appealing ok those are very attractive human characteristics as humans. everyone seems to have their own personal vincent but one was vying really like it's time to check the facts to do that we've come to the shtetl museum in

frankfurt a mine which for us and yet. i find his paintings and drawings absolutely fascinating but i'm less interested in the myths that have grown up around the guns and. you can't evaluate his work properly if you focus too much on his personal life as if i kept on with. i think i've retained increased my fascination for the original business in the us and that's when i had a dog in oslo. news in the year and a cutoff of this work shows a woman who is planting potatoes but we don't see her face the focus is on her bulky limbs current hands and her clogs it's like a big shapeless form of the and also how you can see that it was difficult for them to draw the human figure. you learn to draw from textbooks. and i think it's worth

noting that he had no proper academic training in art at themselves and undersized and one of the non looked down if you want to figure may seem modern to us today but at the time and goss contemporaries complained that he got the proportions all wrong times in my view don it and one of the norms in the history and i'm also in contrast isn't compare that work from 885 to this one to 890 and you can see that his style is already changing in that it was a vague fundies a movie from one of the peasant figures to portraits 1000000 joy doing portraits of modern people down and mention. that was a deliberate move by vango he was reacting to changes in the market. in this portrait he includes themes of self perception like something you might see these days on instagram. then god depicts dr gushee in a typical melancholic pose like do are used for his famous engraving. but he's not

referencing do a lot of work they're quite admired portrait by. that shows for quite a tussle in a sane asylum house and house high as of in a melancholic with an atmosphere of genius and madness in the background and one todd. the shtetl was the 1st public museum in germany to buy works by vanguard. 190818 years after the artist's death it acquired farmhouse in newnan and in 1911 the portrait of dr gushee the museum still has the frame of the gosh a portrait but not the painting itself it was seized by the nazis in 1937 and later sold in 1990 someone from japan paid $82000000.00 for the painting it's not known who owns it now. alexander island takes a sober approach to his study of bank office work and he succeeds in getting closer

to him through drawings and prints. the van gough museum in amsterdam which contains the world's largest collection of the artist's paintings and drawings some $2000000.00 people visit the museum every year and each of them brings with them their own personal concept of the man and his work out of the museum's experts see him. i. i. i think the more we know about the horse about his about his life about his work the more you realize that are that are still so many things that you don't know and

there's new questions coming up so in the case of the sunflowers. there was an extensive research project. which really focused very much on his material is a mistake nique sold a painting was really. looked at in depth with all these different techniques in the conservation studio. we've often found under drawings we even have found under drawing on painting when he is using the perspective frame to lay out his composition or to help him lay out his composition to get the perspective right and this is a device that he has sketched in a letter for hawk was was very methodical in his way of working and that's also confirmed by all the research that we've done into his is techniques and his materials he was really planning his picture. yes and his drawings and he was often calculating even the amount of pain to study would need to you know to

to paint a specific amount of canvases. did vanguard take the same calculating approach to professional success he was certainly a master of self promotion. you might say that he tried to market himself as a brand with some flowers as a company logo. this really choosing the subject as something deadly can make his own and then later on he really says i've chosen sunflowers and i've really been the 1st one to take the sunflower as the as it is a subject it's course not he's of course not the 1st one but it but he's now his paintings are the most famous women in art history. and it's simply not true that bangle did not sell a single painting during his lifetime. he was

born and raised in the brabant region in the netherlands. vango painted this picture of the church in newton in 1904 his father was a minister here and as a young man vincent worked for a while as a protestant missionary in belgium but in 982 he sold a few drawings in the hague. van gough early works often portrayed the lives of farmers. this is the potato eaters from 1885 his 1st large work in oil. vincent road to theo that this painting shows people who worked with their hands and earned their food on

a slate he noted that this life was quite different from then is that of the educated middle class. the 1st time god was fascinated by far more. but he knew that society always changes with you its arms started to disappear it's not it and he knew well that there was more and more industrialization of what is it. an omelette and when he asked people to pose for him he didn't want to come across as a wealthy artist i didn't want and he said he like these people and wanted to live a life that was similar to that of farmers and laborers and coal miners in the tent by one button ah but on the 10th time when i had signed a kite on fresh saying tot he often gave away his clothes or went around looking shabby one hot dog and i'm tired but he believed that this gave him credibility and a sense of self-sacrifice that was inspired by jesus christ steps off and of course

then god had some very wealthy relatives survived it in with financial support i mean my we don't want us to it's not his apparent poverty gave him street cred highs we say today hard to do street credibility oh my jesus wat nots and in fact his brother theo enabled him to enjoy a good standard of living he regularly sent him a lot of money every $2.00 weeks perhaps out of love but perhaps because he hopes the investment would pay off after all theo was a not dealer. in 886 a vincent moved to paris to live with theo the french capital was the center of the european art world. vincent met a number of impressionists at the paint supply shop owned by dealer pair. vango has changed his style again to capture the light of paris

he placed thin layers of paint on top of each other dull and flat and transparent and he put dots of complementary colors next to each other instead of mixing them. the view from his brother's apartment theo was never able to sell this piece there was too much competition from the impressionists. are are improvised southern france. it was a very goals 1015 months here painting his now masterpieces. there are references to him just about everywhere you go in the city. our look is also home to the van gough foundation which is dedicated to honoring

the artist's work and exploring the impact that it has on contemporary art the foundation often displays vango paintings borrowed from world class collections. we are asked swiss art historian beach a koori why vang goss works are still so relevant today van gogh is guns into sound it was very interesting and important for him to move away from so long art unconventional compositions. even believe that he wanted to create art that had an immediate visual impact name to show and by doing that he anticipated trends that became common in the 20th century into mr z. those trends today in advertising and on the internet sat straight to the message. that he wanted to create artistic tension and this is paint a branch of

a tree that crosses the entire painting well the human figures were quite small and socially he used it to don't mention all styles and that was also a key element comes. at that time vanga was inspired by japanese wood block prints which were popular among many of his contemporaries he suddenly start a very big collection of 660 prints and we know why did that because the relationship. was becoming more feeble and he was afraid that c.e.o. would kick him out maybe give him less money so he thought that he should have something on the side kind of adil a ship he had in mind and he would make money in the beginning but maybe later on so these were the kind of feelings that he had he began to copy the japanese prints in oil on canvas.

so if you want to understand those devaney's prints you do not have to focus on much from the open his prints but the magic word is primitivism to a certain extent and being decorative so it had to be flat flat means that there's no space practive in it and well those prints are fret so we learned from them how to do that but of course he had to learn it all by himself the formal design and structure of japanese prints soon found their way into vanga house work like this painting called armand blossom. it was painted in the south of france. vincent wrote to theo at the time that he felt like he was in japan my.

family i think. a generation art has 1st break away from the western tradition he is deeply influenced by japanese prints and the japanese prints are also associates of his trends and kings so that means you're looking us object on a white painted as not exactly a subject. but is a separate subject to your mind on your heart so you remember rise it your very structure of tbilisi your mind i mean your heart so that's a big difference from the western tradition. for 10 years from. one goal we can see the similarities of. them

brush paintings there's a lot of strokes and the color as not a dream identified as reality is really coloring our mind the heart and if you prefer which is a very good 10 years statics pender is not some polly a receiver of the information. seen from nations into your own language. bangle painted was he felt in colors that he felt often in an abstract style he often discussed these concepts with his friend the french artist paul go. he painted by god at work. after the 2 parted in disharmony bank cut off part of his own left ear he was committed to a psychiatric institution where he painted

a portrait of himself as jesus christ. and works with radiant color like the sunflowers he had painted earlier. it was. exhibited a he was obsessed with the value of possession to induce him again on the night he was supposed to have moved to after all southern france in any case because one of his role models besides me a daughter from one to charlie had worked there and give you here in that time he almost always painted sunrises and sunsets. i'm going to tell you what and guns iron and steel and cheli developed

a unique style that involved a technique called impassable stalls and if the application of paint in the thick layers or strokes are just as mine it gives the work an added depth and structure and you can see how the paint really stands out with streaks and furrows on fast. $890.00 s. when god got his 1st positive art review by the end he wrote to the author i bear of the year that he neglected to mention the influence of motor chelsea is i don't have it or you once had don't you mind for a bit as one to tell you how he forgets and soviet. the critics were finally taking notice but a few months later vincent van gogh committed suicide and so the legend was born. in january $8091.00 vincent brother died of syphilis the entire vanguard estate including paintings drawings and letters passed to theo's widow she would make

vincent vanguard an international superstar. johana van gogh bangor immediately took matters into her own hands based in paris she used the family's connections and contacted art critics and gallery owners. she soon became successful vincent van gough letters were an important part of this process 2 years later you had a published excerpts of these letters in dutch magazines and catalogs she recognized the potential that lay in the combination of life and work. a paris gallery owner called valar showed some of angle's works in 895 and there was a full exhibition in 1901 but it didn't attract much attention amongst collectors. that would change in 1905 in amsterdam steadily community in your honner vanguard

organized an exhibition of vang goss complete works and it had a huge impact. at the shtetl museum in frankfurt alexander i ling and his team have been studying how the angle was so successfully marketed particularly in germany. one can up once not starting in 1000 or 5 and there was a huge increase in the number of vanguard exhibitions in germany wants not from fernand between 1000 or 5 in 1914 before world war one there were dozens of exhibitions of featured his works. and we've seen that at about the same time times and more and more german museums and private collectors were buying bengazi feeler daughter provides a lot more the input if i got a call from as an american on our national guard to get so there was a big increase in germany but not in france and the netherlands except for the big exhibition in amsterdam aluminums the dhamma but museums and collectors there were not buying as well as some not often got i'm just playing what he was into my god

it. prices for vanguard were rising accordingly an invoice from a parasite gallery shows that in 1011 the state all museums paid a huge sum for the portrait of dr gushee. and the money was paid in installments it cost a total of $20000.00 francs it had changed hands 3 years before and the asking price then was only 2000 francs so that's a huge increase and must leave a window seat on pies. and the legend of van gogh also helped to push prices high on. german art critic and novelist uli as maya great did much to create that legend. michael eavis on a constant by a grey felt was a central figure in making van gough legend of dying on the one hand and art pretty

it up a collector dealer on the other hand a novelist a writer who saw the potential invent gough's work. eat his book he wrote a history of the development of modern art in 1004 in which a large chapter was dedicated to van gough it was copied look a bit much but about as he developed the whole thing into a biography in 1010 months and in 1021 finally into a novel. my ok for stylized van gough as the christ of modern art as he called it a savior of the romantic artist between genius and madness it's which suddenly gained an enormous readership it will be on vanzant i gave us van gough biography was one of the 1st bestsellers in art literature coffee wine a day i asked one of the best sellers once literati were. you one of angola died in 1925 and the queen to her son vincent villain the items that she had not yet sold.

your vincent villains grandson villain serves as an advisor to the bangle foundation. so that. theo was married to join you and i'm going and the young couple of. sun and this little baby is my grandfather. and grandfather inherited from his parents a collection of 200 paintings by fits and 500 drawings and for instance letters to his brother and here we see in the sixty's in the sixty's we see here the living room of grandfather and i remember the element blossom hanging in the. living room the element blossomed a beautiful one of the most beautiful paintings ever made. dedicated by finances to

the birth of his little nephew it's not a family or holds the rights or licenses it's the museum my grandfather was the owner of this amazing credible collection but in order to afford to it would be defied it is 3 parts after he's there with the 3 children and his dream worse to get a collection together and to share the collection rid everybody for always so he brought the entire collection everything effort touched by vincent or theo but out of dance of the family and transferred it to a specially established fence and from go front ation. so vango sold the paintings to the dutch state in 1962 it built the museum for the collection in 1973. today the experts of the museum and the foundation aim to maintain scientific accuracy and infuse future generations for vincent van gogh

. the museum has 1700000 followers on instagram and about 2500000 likes on facebook bangkok's works have become part of the digital landscape. but the balancing act between scientific correctness and ever new legends is difficult. song saw a revolver was ocean golf in paris in 201-913-0000 lights all 413-0000 i just thought. the weapon was found in 960 in a field near all their school was where vanguard he used to paint the auction house sold it as the weapon with which vanguard he's said to have killed himself. forensic tests indicate. that the gun lay in the ground for 70 years and had the

same caliber as the bullet that was found in vang gox chest and the safety catch was off. but there is no scientific proof that links the weapon directly to vanguard. the owner of the auction house says he never claimed that there was. a will of the i've always obvious i've probably said before the auction that there was never any proof it's not like we're just saying this now after the sale so we've always been careful to leave it as a possibility is on sets what makes a reputable hole so we only said that's the gun that he could have killed himself with. but before the yorks in the weapon was advertised as vang dos revolver that was misleading to say the least the auction house also touted the fact that the gun had been displayed at one museum and

requested for exhibition by another. in 2016 that was shown in amsterdam as part of the exhibition on the verge of insanity the shingle museum in frankfurt also wanted to borrow it for an exhibition. but was somebody known at a time when we had the expedition who sent no not quite like that and so so he was asked what do you think of a figure of this and he said well as long as there's not a 2nd rusty gun coming from the same ground i mean it makes a very well chance of it and you have to look at it that why i believe and it's when it's smaller to some so when you buy land up it makes a very likely but as i said i mean we have to take the word from we have from from from from the landowner 960 that indeed he found it on his land and that somewhere else you can you don't have an a prove of that he ever had it in his hand and. no. at the end i'm fed and although i would as a disabled why they found a gun on file in all there and it's supposed to be the one that vanguard used to

kill himself how does he what did he really pull the trigger on is it possible that it's a different weapon on in one of them when suddenly this worthless object this rusty revolver became a part of the legend and so expressed interest in it and that the dog i don't want us to much into see if. and when it does legend end and where does for all would begin. this book was published in france in 2016 it shows facsimiles of a sketchbook that vango is said to have compiled in and allegedly found by a private individual but experts have serious doubts about its authenticity. so this is the kind of humorless this drawing a can scarcely be considered the work of god if he was an excellent draftsman at that point. he created impressive color and light effects with pens and pencils and

he didn't this drawing has none of that and play. a sloppy job as if to show that the artist had no discipline he. was not like that off. his work was it always very neat. and. the book contains a sketch of a sunflower field for instance drawing start is very tricky to restrict and it was quite clear also from the colors i mean that it's brownish tins which we know from for instance since drawings have. wolf faded in more or less and dispersed to evenly colors in so it was didn't look like it was drawn with with a black ink which was discovered to brown with simply browning. dishonest dealers can earn a lot of money selling vango forgeries in 1932

a bird broker auto vaca was convicted on charges of putting 30 of them on the market divan towers of his ease some had authenticity reports from renowned vanguard experts so you can see a lot of people and a lot of money from van gough and. even his commercialization inspires tate britain london the valhalla of british art history he's very much the hero of modern art. and he says showing in a way british artists a new way to be an artist and an artist it doesn't have to be this is a respect to all that can paint in their beds in front room and things like that. in 1957 british artist francis bacon portrayed vanguard as a man with his head bowed on a path to nowhere. the paintings that god created during the

final 2 years of his life have inspired generations his distinctive use of color has become part of the language of modern art. norwegian artist edvard monk painted this portrait of our bar in 1906. portrait in a very rough very. i would say expressionistic matter with this stark red color not a very defined background that's also something that can go of course. putting all his attention and focus on the character of our path and it's interesting that in his letter is not so much about this part of it also out of portraits he refers to that go. german artist and slewed big snow was also influenced by then god as we see in this painting from 1908 artists turn vain goss

artistic power into their program of artistic self dramatization max beckmann as vincent. here in this business from one who is they we have been portrayed in the next spec months i think it's a great combination because you can see how similar the self portraits are. with beckman heard about the big exhibition in amsterdam in 1005. and then grew a beard so they would look like bengali here cuz it if you know me from go on so i . can send govind. artisans overcome their benegal phrases relatively quickly because they don't want to be seen a success or soft convoy or not and so at some point then got receipts further and further into the background on one caught in the light and in him don't want that but his works opening minds to color to style to the application of color and some

top. and that helps them find their own style and gives them the courage to find their own style and want to move mine i have mentioned it's a fantasy. so is it this courage that transcends the legend is it his weaknesses or his strengths dr gushee a prescribed painting for bangle as therapy and during his last 70 days innovators who was he painted another 80 pictures in a bid to save himself. and maybe that's why all these people are still searching for the real vincent. because in him they may succeed in finding themselves.
