Van Gogh and Britain at Tate Britain will be the first major
exhibition both to explore the impact of British culture on Vincent
van Gogh and to trace the introduction of his art into Britain and
its legacy in the works of British painters. Published to accompany
the show, this lavishly illustrated publication illustrates fifty
van Gogh paintings, and traces the story from the artist's obscure
years in England in the 1870s through his growing influence and
reputation to iconic status in the 1950s. These works are
accompanied by paintings by British artists that affected him and
which he in turn inspired. The publication looks at van Gogh's time
in Britain in his early twenties (1873-6), investigating his
experience of the largest city in the world and the ideas, books,
paintings and prints which caught his attention. These came to the
fore in new ways in the following decade when van Gogh became an
artist, and reading and the collecting of prints and illustrations
informed both his ideals and his practical investigations of a
radical, egalitarian style. After his move to France, van Gogh's
earlier preoccupations were woven into his wider experience and his
dramatically original late works. Van Gogh's brief participation in
the cosmopolitan art scene in Paris brought him into contact with
British-based painters and collectors who were some of the first to
respond to his work, but its full impact came in the twentieth
century. The publication focuses on the first displays of van
Gogh's work before the First World War and the establishment of his
reputation following the war, and then on the Second World War and
its aftermath, when the artist's life and work became renowned as
an embodiment of embattled human creativity. Essays by leadng
experts will explore how van Gogh's work became such an inspiration
to modern British artists in the twentieth century, from Sickert to
Bacon. EDITOR
