A groundbreaking new exhibition will be presented by the Het
Noordbrabants Museum, focusing on the impact of Van Gogh's
interpersonal relationships on his work. Part biography, part art
history, the catalogue of this exhibition will dismantle the
commonly-held conception that Van Gogh's genius stemmed from his
mental illness and isolation. Revealing a complex, emotionally
engaging picture of the man behind some of the most celebrated
works in history, this catalogue includes well-known works and
pieces from private collections, as well as rare documents
virtually unknown to the public, such as a never-before exhibited
sketchbook that Vincent gifted to Betsy Tersteeg, daughter of an
art dealer at The Hague; poetry he sent to his dear brother and
confidante Theo; and six rarely featured letters of condolence
received by Theo after Vincent's death. Masterpieces include Still
life with Bible (1885), Madame Roulin Rocking the Cradle (La
berceuse) 1889, and L'Arlesienne (Madame Ginoux) (1890). The
catalogue also contains numerous less well-known portraits of
family and friends, revealing how they appeared through the
artist's eyes. Van Gogh's Inner Circle sheds light on Vincent's
often tempestuous personality, his love affairs, his eventual
estrangement from many of his colleagues, and how his relationships
influenced the work he produced in the years leading up to his
premature death. Van Gogh's Inner Circle was curated by Sjraar van
Heugten, former Head of Collections at the Van Gogh Museum. He has
curated exhibitions such as Van Gogh and the Seasons in Melbourne,
at the National Gallery of Victoria - the largest exhibition of
Vincent van Gogh's work in Australia. He co-authored Van Gogh
(Thames & Hudson, 2005) and Van Gogh in Provence: Modernizing
Tradition (Actes Sud, 2016) among many more.
