Two themes "about the ear" united

Sorry for the repeated theme, but in the forum for some reason the search does not work. By all the rules before you create the theme, carried out a search. But Van Gogh still has not yet been seeking.

"Sorry, no matches. Try to specify other keywords.

These words, or too often used, or too long or too short, and therefore they were not included in your search: Van Gogh "

ear as a token of friendship

- Try not to make me wait. In the first quarter I will cut off the ears on the move.
- Excellent - cried D'Artagnan, - I will appear at ten, twelve!
Alexandre Dumas

If the average person that knows something and is firmly on the Vincent Van Goga, so this is what the artist was not really in themselves and one day cut off his ear. In XX century, this action came to be understood as a sacrifice to art. It is therefore good Petersburg Mitki offered great Dutchman their own ears (in the form of pictures). And what happens in the XXI century? There were serious German researchers, who assert that everything was different: the ear has suffered from the hands of another great artist - Paul Gauguin.
Gauguin arrived in the Provencal town of Arles of Van Gogh in October 1888. Artists were by this time friends, with Van Gogh, a fierce nature and carried away, was literally in love with his exotic and much-traveled friend and begged him on his arrival. Especially for the arrival of Gauguin, he wrote a series of paintings, including "Yellow House", "Garden of the poet and others. Unkempt and unorganized Van Gogh quickly turned to a more bourgeois Gauguin into a source of irritation. These two months trying to get along under one roof, devoting many hours of lessons in painting and talks on various topics, and even together "for hygienic purposes" visited neighboring brothel.

Van Gogh in his letters to his brother Theo he wrote about the debilitating "electric" disputes with one another. Gauguin also complained in his memoirs to "upset the mind" and "lack of logic" by Van Gogh. On the eve of the decisive argument drunken Vincent ran in a glass of fields, and the next evening there was a new skirmish, which ended in blood. It is believed that utterly exhausted abuse Gauguin came in the evening on Dec. 23, 1888 at home in the area of Lamartine, a distraught Van Gogh, left alone, cut off his earlobe with a razor, wrapped it in newspaper and went to a prostitute friend, who also demonstrated a strange trophy. The next morning he was visited by police and taken to an artist in hospital. His self-portrait with bandaged head, was known for not less than "Sunflowers" and "Starry Night in Arles."

According to the published version of this drama, that is a popular novel by Irving Stone's Lust for Life ", Van Gogh on Dec. 23 followed by Gauguin Arlyu, holding an open razor. Researchers from the University of Hamburg, Hans Kaufmann and Rita Vildegans, the authors of the book "Van Goghs Ohr, Paul Gauguin und der Pakt des Schweigens" ( "Ear of Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and a vow of silence") argue that Gauguin left Arles in fencing masks and gloves, and after the departure of Van Gogh asked to send them to him. Scientists emphasize that the letter of a word is not mentioned rapier, and she had to have it be: why else should he with gloves and a mask? This fact, coupled with enigmatic last sentence to the Van Gogh Gauguin, like "Once you say something, then I will be silent," allows researchers a new way to reconstruct the historic quarrel in Arles.

According to Kaufman and Vildegans, Gauguin, not just out of the yellow house on the Square Lamartine evening of 23 December: he left this haven is with things to spend the night in the hotel and the next morning to leave Arles. Under him, of course, was and foil (though why he had not picked up all my fencing equipment, they do not explain). Offended and angry, Van Gogh, rushed after the other, a quarrel broke out again, and Gauguin, trying to keep the Dutchman in the distance, took a rapier, and somehow reached out to his face and then if in a rage, or accidentally cut off his earlobe. Even a small wound at this point cause excessive bleeding (in this example, built half the intrigue of the novel by Agatha Christie, announced killing "). Fearing the consequences, Gauguin threw rapier in the Rhone. It is, of course, no one has to look, because Gauguin convinced everyone that unbalanced by "The Potato Eaters" and other masterpieces of the mutilated himself. Van Gogh is silent. However, consider Kaufman and Vildegans for him say his sketches, one of which is drawn ear, and a number written in the Latin word "ictus" ( "blow") used by swordsmen.

As a result, mutual vow of silence, which Gauguin kept because of the cowardice and selfishness, and Van Gogh - of the nobility, his contemporaries and the descendants of Dutch artist felt more foolish than he actually was. This is the main conclusion of Kaufmann and Vildegans. In the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam until their point of view is not shared, but feel worthy of study. In the end, in the biography of the artist remains of millions of white spots, the lion's share of arguments about his life's twists and turns based on circumstantial evidence: correspondence with his brother and the memories of his contemporaries do not give answers to many questions. One only diagnoses Van Gogh set not less than ten. Among them there and schizophrenia, and epilepsy, and manic-depressive psychosis, and Meniere's disease, and acute intermittent porphyria. In addition, his condition could affect absinthe containing lead paint and acquired syphilis in the brothels. In general, healthy man, Van Gogh was not exactly. Gauguin, by the way, too, and sorry that Kaufman and Vildegans not pay enough attention to how the dramatic act of Van Gogh's influence on Gauguin. Nepahanoe practically field for research and interpretations.

In the history of Van Gogh's ear, a new character

British explorer Martin Bailey (Martin Bailey) has put forward a new theory about why and under what circumstances, the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh cut off his ear in the evening on Dec. 23, 1888. Version scientist, author of a book on Van Goga, briefly described in The Sunday Times.
Bailey argues that the artist cut off his ear after it learned of the intention to marry his brother Theo. "Fearful of losing the financial and emotional support from his brother, from whom he was very dependent, Vincent cut off his earlobe," - the expert believes. This conclusion Bailey came by studying the letters of the family van Gogh.

In the study, a specialist found that the 21 December 1888, shortly before the incident with the ear of Van Gogh's mother received a letter from Theo, in which he requested permission to marry his beloved. Commenting on this letter, Bailey said, "Vincent, of course, was to be the following, who learned about the forthcoming wedding."

December 23, 1888 Vincent Van Gogh had received the money sent Theo from Paris. Being in despair because of the news of the forthcoming marriage (probably along with the money he received and the news of the impending ceremony), his brother, the painter cut off his earlobe. Theo came to him from Paris the next day. After the meeting in his letter to the bride Johanna, he wrote that Vincent knows about their plan to marry. "When I asked him whether he endorses our intention, he said that marriage should not become the main purpose of life" - wrote to his brother Van Gogh.

Despite the fact that Bailey, in fact, does not explain exactly how he learned about Van Gogh's wedding on December 23, experts say that this news has made an incredible impression on the artist. Moreover, according to a researcher for the Van Gogh receiving news of the marriage, Theo was one of the most significant events in life. Bailey said that the artist even captured it on one of his paintings.

It is a still life "plate with onions, work on which van Gogh finished in early 1889. On the canvas than the actual dish with onions and other objects are depicted, including the envelope with a letter. Studying the picture, Bailey saw a stamp on the envelope, indicating that the letter came from Paris. According to the expert, on the still life, Van Gogh, Theo sealed letter to his mother on December 21, 1888.

Martin Bailey has categorically rejected the theory of their German colleagues, Hans Kaufmann and Rita Vildegans.Kak previously reported, two researchers from the University of Hamburg, came to the conclusion that Van Gogh cut off his earlobe itself, as previously thought - it supposedly did in Paul Gauguin a fit of anger.

According to sociologists, the world's most famous three artists: Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh and Pablo Picasso.

Leonardo's "responsible" for the art of old masters, Van Gogh - for the Impressionists and Post-XIX century, and Picasso - for the abstract and modernist XX century.

Moreover, if Leonardo appears in the eyes of the public are not so much a painter as a universal genius, and Picasso - fashionable "secular lion and a public figure - a champion of the world, Van Gogh stands for is an artist.

He is considered a lone madman genius and a martyr, not thinking about fame and money. However, this image, which has become accustomed to, no more than a myth, which was used to "roll out" Van Gogh and profitably sell his paintings.....

Yes, of course, crazy people in painting are still more attractive in the eyes of art lovers than workaholic. Although Van Gogh said of his work
"The easiest way to refute this idea of Van Goga words of the artist himself:" Great is created not only by an impulsive act, but also the complicity of many things that were given to a single whole ... In art, as with everything else: the great is not something accidental, but must be created by the persistent strong-willed tension.

Thank you for the article !!!!!

epochal exhibition of paintings and letters of Van Gogh was opened in London

23.01.2010 20:20

First 40 years in the UK large-scale exhibition of the famous Dutch post-impressionist Vincent van Gogh was opened on Saturday in the walls of the London Royal Academy of Arts (Royal Academy of Arts).

Exhibition entitled "The real Van Gogh: the artist and his letters, gathered in the halls of the Academy on Piccadilly Street, about 65 paintings, 30 drawings and 40 personal letters wizard. Most of the exhibits was provided to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, but the exhibition displays the artist's works stored in private and museum collections around the world - the United States, Switzerland, Britain and other countries.

"We tried to show the history of the life and work of Van Gogh by a combination of his pictures and letters to his younger brother Theo, who supported the artist financially and emotionally throughout life," - told reporters at a media preview of the Royal Academy curator Ann Dumas.

According to her, the letters of Van Gogh rarely exhibited because of their fragility and sensitivity to light. "We've chosen to display the letters, which contained the outline of the paintings, because the texts themselves mainly written in French and Dutch and will not understand much of English-speaking audience," - said Dumas.
The authors of the exhibition managed to gather together the various reflections of the same idea - a letter with a sketch and reflections on the film, full-size sketch and a finished version of the pictorial. This evolution, for example, can be seen on the painting "View of Arles with irises in the foreground" (1888).
And the exhibition opens a letter with a sketch of London's Westminster Bridge, which is intended to remind visitors of the two periods of the life of a young Van Gogh in Britain in 1870. But then he tried to make a career of art dealer and interested in matters of religion, and painting was carried away, only about 1880 and his career as an artist lasted only about ten years until the tragic death in 1890.
Walking through the halls of Academia, visitors follow the routes of wandering life of Van Gogh - Belgium Antwerp, where he created a series of somber portraits of peasants; Paris, where he lived in the apartment of his brother Theo in Montmartre, met with his contemporaries, the Impressionists, picked up and developed their style, joined the bright colors, moving to Arles in Provence in southern France, where he was overtaken by mental illness, as well as the last months of his life in a hospital in Saint-Rémy, where he created several works with a distorted perspective and sinuous outlines of objects, and in the town of Auvers - sur-Oise near Paris, where the summer of 1890 Van Gogh shot himself in the chest and died shortly thereafter from the wounds.
Audience will learn about the passion of Van Gogh's Japanese color prints and his passion for literature. "Contrary to popular misconception, Van Gogh was a cultured, knowledgeable, and educated man, with a real passion for books", - said Dumas.
Under executed in yellow tones painting "Parisian Novels (1887) featuring books on the table in the window of the publication of the collected real-time, who read the artist - from novels naturalists of the French school of Zola and Maupassant to" Christmas Song "by Charles Dickens and" Uncle Tom's Cabin "Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Passion of the Japanese subjects, of course, has some impact on the interest of Van Gogh to create a series of spring landscapes with blossoming gardens. Gathered from museums and private collections from around the world, they settled on one of the walls of the gallery.
Here are two pictures that van Gogh bequeathed to stand together, but that the will of fate found themselves on opposite sides of the Atlantic - in Amsterdam and in the American Indianapolis. Representing the fields of wheat and the surrounding hills, the two paintings are made in complementary colors - yellow and blue-violet.
Complementarity complementary colors was one of the favorite style of the artist, recalled the exhibition's curator. In the halls of the Academy before his still-lifes, made it in this manner: red poppies on a blue background or a bouquet of pink roses on a green background. However, due to the use of unstable pigment over time pink roses fade and become almost white.
Virtually every work in the exhibition hides behind a one or another story that is revealed in the signatures and placed in the windows next to the letters of Van Gogh.
Facsimile copies of all letters and their translations into English, as well as additional information on the life and works of Van Gogh are also presented in a special library with twelve computer terminals at the end of the exhibition.
Find their own interesting reading the works of the great painter at the Royal Academy of Arts, viewers will before April 18 this year.

Yes ... After the death of any one gallery did not agree to make a posthumous exhibition of the blessed and had to make this exhibition a brother in his apartment. A relative of one of Van Gogh's plugged a hole in the henhouse (here, especially crying, when I remember). And lucky is the one art dealer that this work drew from the chicken coop.
