Van Gogh was looking for a modern, more decorative style of painting. The Japanese prints became his most important example. What exactly did he learn from the prints?
Is amazing to seeing almost every art piece of Vincent Van Gogh late life stage influenced by Eastern Asian culture. The blending between Soft and Bold is amazing, Van Gogh artist is all about unique "balance".
What an insightful, enlightening and highly educational Video you shared on Vincent van Gogh's birth anniversary, thank you so very much, Van Gogh Museum and happy birthday dear Vincent !!!
It's a shame Van Gogh never made it to Japan, especially given that its opening up to the world coincided with his own lifetime. He was an avid enthusiast of the works of Hiroshige in particular, and even though they were separated by a century or more, the influence is quite clear. While other Western artists later incorporated Japanese elements into their own works, Van Gogh was among the first, if not THE first, to breathe new life into them and made them his own. The reverence and respect he has for the culture truly shows. Extraordinary.
Remarkably insightful, incisive, dissecting, eviscerating report… But had Vincent van Gogh wrote on the subject himself, that he learnt from the Japanese art, or is it the hypothesis of the art critics of modernity?..
For example, Vincent van Gogh's Letter 620 To Theo van Gogh. Arles, on or about Tuesday, 5 June 1888: "About staying in the south, even if it’s more expensive - Look, we love Japanese painting, we’ve experienced its influence - all the Impressionists have that in common - and we wouldn’t go to Japan, in other words, to what is the equivalent of Japan, the south? So I believe that the future of the new art still lies in the south after all."
Not only did he own many Japanese prints, Vincent van Gogh painted his own copies of some of them, including copying Japanese kanji and kana writings onto them. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), simply known as Hiroshige, was one of Van Gogh's favorite Japanese print artists.
@master universe Chinoiserie background of the western decorative art... very apt and indepthful formula. Thank You very much for sharing Your thoughts.
Wonder, any evidence showing the relationship between certain Japanese printing vs. Van Gogh painting? Or just list the similar one? Not really logical at all! 😌
You should read his letters to Theo endlessly citing prints, constantly mentioning and comparing Japan to an artists paradise. He also kept asking Theo to send more woodblock prints. And also, he painted himself as a Japanese monk!
he did learn nothing .....when someone draw something belong to some culture that's mean he learnt from them ?? all what he said ( I like Japanese art ) and he decorate his wall in his studio with Japanese stuff that's it no more ....but I don't know why Japanese try to make him part of them....you watch detective Conan movie and you did believe that there's relationship between Van Gogh and Japan .....it was just cartoon movie LOL
ok? Japanese is not trying to prove anything, is a fact. Print became more popular around the world during that time, you see influence in the painting, simple. why taking offense? Saw you on other video talking about this too, same comment.....
@@nos8141 yes I have written the same on another video... I have heard that France's King his wife was Japanese...and Russia's King his wife also Japanese... I heard a lot that japan part of European history... don't be upset you should be proud of your culture and history... you have great history and culture all the world know about it...

Claim whatever you want but Van Gogh himself wrote on several occasions about how Japanese art has influenced him and how he is learning various things from it. It's in his letters.

面白いですね。北斎も西洋画の影響を受けていて、西洋の遠近法を絵に取り入れています。

It is known that he was collecting Japanese art prints, which were very popular at the time in Europe
He wrote it himself in a number of his many letters to his brother Theo van Gogh.
For example, Vincent van Gogh's Letter 620 To Theo van Gogh. Arles, on or about Tuesday, 5 June 1888: "About staying in the south, even if it’s more expensive - Look, we love Japanese painting, we’ve experienced its influence - all the Impressionists have that in common - and we wouldn’t go to Japan, in other words, to what is the equivalent of Japan, the south?
