Artist Ixygon

[Seriy]

Pavel, well, why only brother? Vincent sent to work in London in the art office to his uncle or something else in a relative, so that Vincent himself worked for a time in the art business.


Fed, I think Vincent was totally impractical and did not think much money. In Arles, if he did not sleep in the house, he went to sleep in the hotel. Then the money from the estate for some reason bought the yellow house in Arles with a leaky roof, no doubt that it was heated at the same time. So the money he could miss time. Production of 90 paintings meter length, too, because nekopeechnye costs.

Personally, I would love to write more, but I have such a circumstance that I should finish building a large house near Kiev and is a couple of years you will spend my time. In Moscow, I write more, but there is another problem, I'll write in the apartment in which I live, two paintings and drying in the apartment can not breathe, this spring just to lung problems did not happen. Need a big studio - it must be stored somewhere clean materials (you're not going to run to the store to look for the right size canvas, when the idea came - all sizes of canvas, paper, cardboard, stretchers, everything should be on hand), drying and painting ready operation.
And I'm not sure that I can work in a workshop on working hours away from home.

Artist - a profession rather material-consuming space and money.
As you know, Vincent rid of finished works by sending their brother, or he would drown in the works. Picasso did so, buying a huge barn as a workshop, a few years filled his work, then buy a new one, plus a huge storage for shooting pictures in the bank. Not so easy in this profession, as it seems from the side ...
 I make more than 100-150 jobs a year, it is not much and not enough. Large hall in Berlin in May, I was able to complete the new work in 2012, plus a couple of work in 2011. Now I'm ready to work projects, in addition to the current work. One project, The Return of the Black Square (under the influence of the Russian avant-garde), the other is a Berlin exhibition of work in the genre of the color field abstraction. There are other ideas - the only problem is time.

money from the inheritance for some reason bought the yellow house in Arles with a leaky roof

About the purchase have not read anything, just about renting 4 rooms.

Fed, I'll read the two-volume edition of the complete works of Van Gogh, everything with dates, not fiction (books, in Moscow, on arrival I can give you the exact link). Vincent received an inheritance and bought a yellow house, but by then it was already clear that no artists' colony in Arles, of which he dreamed, will not. You do not know, because in fiction exploited poor image of the artist Van Gogh, and the image of Van Gogh-bourgeois, never worked and buy homes, runs counter to the idea.
 By the way, count Van Gogh wrote two picture day in the last year, meter length. Let 50 pictures per month. Painting dries month until it can be wrapped in paper, lay in a pile. Total need 50 meters of drying room works. If the room is 20 m, then it can not accommodate all of the work you need 2 of these rooms with ventilation. Therefore, Van Gogh rented a house, not a hotel room.
And this simple arithmetic calculation explains why the artistry so costly. One picture can be written in a residential apartment, but professional work flow, no, need a large workshop. Therefore, quite a few artists have moved from the city to the village, you can increase the production area and live next to the studio, and not to shoot and ride for how many miles, how to work in the office.

in fiction exploited poor image of the artist Van Gogh, Van Gogh and the image of the bourgeois,

Yes they were all bourgeois (except, perhaps worker Pissarro)

never does not work and buy homes

10 years, not a painter of 37 lives - do not count?

About buying a house you find.
He shot 4 rooms, then presumably still 2nd.

And rented a room for storage of their finished paintings.

[Seriy]

Fed, well, if you give me a thread to donate, I would argue about the purchase and will give you a link and a quote from the edition :-)

He shot no room!
he rented in Arles yellow house depicted in many of his paintings, a small, built-in between the other houses, but the house, two floors, and there came Gauguin.

He has made no room! he rented in Arles yellow house

Letter from Vincent van Gogh, Theo van Gogh in May 1888: "You will find among them a sketch, hastily made on yellow paper - lawn on the square at the entrance to the city, the building behind it.
So today, I took it right wing, consisting of four rooms, or rather, two rooms with two storages. Outside the house is painted in yellow, whitewashed inside, a lot of sun. I shot him for fifteen francs a month. Now I want to somehow beat at least one room, the one on the second floor. In it, I'll make a bedroom.
This house is my studio, my headquarters to stay in the south. Now I am free from the hotel squabbles that put me off balance and detrimental affect on me. Bernard says that he is now also a house, but for free. Lucky him!

... I bought two pairs of shoes for 26 francs and three shirts over 27. Therefore, despite the bank note stofrankovuyu sent by you, I'm not too in the money.

Assuming ... - and I am in this still convinced - that Impressionist paintings go up in price, we have to make them a little more and not too cheap. Extra base for a leisurely improve their quality and not to waste time in vain.
In this way we are, I think, in a few years will be able to return the invested capital - if not in money, in the form of paintings. "

"In May 1888, Van Gogh rented four rooms on the right-hand side of a house on the Place Lamartine in Arles. His living quarters were the ones with the green shutters. His bedroom lay beyond. Vincent had finally found a place where he could not only paint but also welcome his friends. His goal was to establish a "Studio of the South," where he and like-minded artists could work together ". - Van Gogh Museum.

Tried out his new sketchbook of Ukrainian origin.
Vicinity of our village is very picturesque, and the river, and the dam, and the rocks, pines and centuries like Shishkin.
When only time will write all this?

30x40, oil on canvas.

Fed, not quite in the topic in August specifically passed through Arles.
Sleepy and rather obscure town.
Maybe I did not understand.
Red vineyards are beautiful, and delicious grapes.
I wish I was not an artist

[Fed]

Since Van Gogh as he, too, did not understand.
But it was cheap.

If a vine moved to absinthe ... would ship paintings barrels.


Seriy moves to realism , goodbye Van Gogh, adieu pour toujours Vlamnik ...
