A fascinating look at the genesis and meaning of Van Gogh's famed
paintings of his bedroom Vincent van Gogh's The Bedroom, a painting
of his room in Arles, is arguably the most famous depiction of a
bedroom in the history of art. The artist made three versions of
the work, now in the collections of the Van Gogh Museum, the Art
Institute of Chicago, and the Musee d'Orsay. This book is the first
in-depth study of their making and their meaning to the artist. In
Van Gogh's Bedrooms, an international team of art historians,
scientists, and conservators investigates the psychological and
emotional significance of the bedroom in Van Gogh's oeuvre,
surveying dwellings as a motif that appears throughout his work.
Essays address the context in which the bedroom was first
conceived, the uniqueness of the subject, and the similarities and
differences among the three works both on and below the painted
surface. The publication reproduces more than 50 paintings,
drawings, and illustrated letters by the artist, along with other
objects that evoke his peripatetic life and relentless quest for
"home." Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago Exhibition
Schedule: Art Institute of Chicago (02/14/16-05/10/16)
