The Van Gogh Museum invited the celebrated Chinese artist Zeng
Fanzhi to present recent work inspired by Vincent van Gogh.
Although the two artists differ greatly in historical period and
place of origin, their art is very similar in substance. This
similarity is apparent in the themes that Van Gogh and Zeng both
perpetually explore, such as style, identity and personality, and
the question of self-control and the outside world's degree of
control over the individual. It is evident too in their powerful,
searing paintings. Van Gogh's original paintings became famous
partly for their vigorous, seemingly inimitable brushwork - the
painter's individual 'handwriting'. Zeng has responded to this same
brushwork with handwriting from a very different cultural
tradition, namely that of Chinese calligraphy. He has done so at a
time when Van Gogh has become immensely popular in countries like
China and Japan. The result is a Van Gogh seen through Chinese
eyes, in a way Vincent himself could never have imagined. Zeng
takes meanings from the past and reuses them, over and over again,
to generate valuable new meanings. This book focuses on Zeng's
recent work, inspired by Van Gogh's iconic self-portraits, and
explores the position and importance of the self-portrait within
his oeuvre. Text in English and Chinese.
