Vincent van Gogh Art
Dutch, 1853-1890
Vincent van Gogh, born on March 30, 1853, in the Netherlands, was a Dutch post-impressionist painter. He is known for his emotionally charged and vibrant paintings, such as "Starry Night" and "Sunflowers." Van Gogh struggled with mental health issues throughout his life and tragically died by suicide on July 29, 1890, at the age of 37. Despite his short and troubled life, his art has had a lasting and influential impact on the world of art.(Biography provided by LITO)

Pierre Bonnard (1867 – 1947) was a French painter, illustrator and printmaker, known especially for the stylized decorative qualities of his paintings and his bold use of color. A founding member of the Post-Impressionist group of avant-garde painters Les Nabis, (the Naive artists) his early work was strongly influenced by the work of Paul Gauguin, as well as the prints of Hokusai and other Japanese artists. Bonnard was a leading figure in the transition from Impressionism to Modernism. He painted landscapes, urban scenes, portraits and intimate domestic scenes, where the backgrounds, colors and painting style usually took precedence over the subject.
Pierre Bonnard was born in Fontenay-aux-Roses, Hauts-de-Seine on 3 October 1867. His mother, Élisabeth Metzdorff, was from Alsace. His father, Eugène Bonnard, was from the Dauphiné, and was a senior official in the French Ministry of War. He had a brother, Charles, and a sister, Andrée, who in 1890 married the composer Claude Terrasse.
He received his education in the Lycée Louis-le-Grand and Lycée Charlemagne in Vanves. He showed a talent for drawing and water colors, as well as caricatures. He painted frequently in the gardens of his parent's country home at Grand-Lemps near the Cote Saint-André in the Dauphiné. He also showed a strong interest in literature. He received his baccalaureate in the classics, and, to satisfy his father, between 1886 and 1887 earned his license in law, and began practicing as a lawyer beginning in 1888. While he was studying law, he also attended art classes at the Académie Julian in Paris. At the Académie Julien he met his future friends and fellow artists, Paul Sérusier, Maurice Denis, Gabriel Ibels and Paul Ranson. In 1888 Bonnard was accepted by the École des Beaux-Arts, where he met Édouard Vuillard and Ker Xavier Roussel. He also sold his first commercial work of art, a design for poster for France-Champagne, which helped him convince his family that he could make a living as an artist. He set up his first studio at on rue Lechapelais and began his career as an artist.
From 1893 until her death, Bonnard lived with Marthe de Méligny (1869–1942), and she was the model for many of his paintings, including many nude works. Her birth name was Maria Boursin, but she had changed it before she met Bonnard. They married in 1925. In the years before their marriage, Bonnard had love affairs with two other women, who also served as models for some of his paintings, Renée Monchaty (the partner of the American painter Harry Lachmann) and Lucienne Dupuy de Frenelle, the wife of a doctor; it has been suggested that Bonnard may have been the father of Lucienne's second son. Renée Monchaty committed suicide shortly after Bonnard and de Méligny married.
In 1891 he met Toulouse-Lautrec and in December 1891 showed his work at the annual exhibition of the Société des Artistes Indépendants. In the same year Bonnard also began an association with La Revue Blanche, for which he and Edouard Vuillard designed frontispiece In March 1891, his work was displayed with the work of the other Nabis at the Le Barc de Boutteville. The style of Japanese graphic arts became an important influence on Bonnard. In 1893 a major exposition of works of Utamaro and Hiroshige was held at the Durand-Rouel Gallery, and the Japanese influence, particularly the use of multiple points of view, and the use of bold geometric patterns in clothing, such as checkered blouses, began to appear in his work. Because of his passion for Japanese art, his nickname among the Nabis became Le Nabi le trés japonard. He devoted an increasing amount of attention to decorative art, designing furniture, fabrics, fans and other objects. He continued to design posters for France-Champagne, which gained him an audience outside the art world. In 1892 he began to produce lithographs, and painted two of his early notable works, Le Corsage a carreaux and La Partie de croquet. He also made a series of illustrations for the music books of his brother-in-law, Claude Terrasse. In 1895 he became an early participant of the movement of Art Nouveau, designing a stained glass window, called Maternity, for Tiffany. In 1895 he had his first individual exposition of paintings, posters and lithographs at the Durand-Ruel Gallery. He also illustrated a novel, Marie, by Peter Nansen, published in series by in La Revue Blanche. The following year he participated in a group exposition of Nabis at the Ambroise Vollard Gallery. In 1899, he took part in another major exposition of works of the Nabis.
Throughout the early 20th century, as artistic styles appeared and disappeared with almost dizzying speed, Bonnard kept refining and revising his personal style, and exploring new subjects and media, but keeping the distinct characteristics of his work. Working in his studio at 65 rue de Douai in Paris, he presented paintings at the Salon des Independents in 1900, and also made 109 lithographs for Parallèment, a book of poems by Verlaine. He also took part in an exhibition with the other Nabis at the Bernheim Jeune gallery. He presented nine paintings at the Salon des Independents in 1901. In 1905 he produced a series of nudes and of portraits, and in 1906 had a personal exposition at the Bernheim-Jeune Gallery. In 1908 he illustrated a book of poetry by Octave Mirbeau, and made his first long stay in the South of France, at the home of the painter Manguin in Saint-Tropez. in 1909, and in 1911 began a series of decorative panels, called Méditerranée, for the Russian art patron Ivan Morozov.
During the years of the First World War, Bonnard concentrated on nudes and portraits, and in 1916 completed a series of large compositions, including La Pastorale, Méditterranée, La Paradis Terreste and Paysage de Ville. His reputation in the French art establishment was secure; in 1918 he was selected, along with Renoir, as an honorary President of the Association of Young French Artists. In the 1920s, he produced illustrations for a book by Andre Gide (1924) and another by Claude Anet (1923). He showed works at the Autumn Salon in 1923, and in 1924 was honored with a retrospective of sixty-eight of his works at the Galerie Druet. In 1925 he purchased a villa in Cannes.
In 1938 his works and Vuillard were featured at an exposition at the Art Institute of Chicago. The outbreak of World War II in September 1939, forced Bonnard to depart Paris for the south of France, where he remained until the end of the war. Under the German occupation, he refused to paint an official portrait of the French collaborationist leader, Marechal Petain, but accepted a commission to paint a religious painting of Saint Francis de Sales, with the face of his friend Vuillard, who had died two years earlier. He finished his last painting, The Almond Tree in Blossom, a week before his death in his cottage on La Route de Serra Capoue near Le Cannet, on the French Riviera, in 1947. The Museum of Modern Art in New York City organized a posthumous retrospective of Bonnard's work in 1948, although originally it was meant to be a celebration of the artist's 80th birthday.

He started winning prize after prize in the 1960s: the Governor of Tokyo's Prize (1962), the Tokyo Museum of Modern Art Prize (1964). In 1961 he had established himself as a printmaker by winning the Grand Prize for Printmaking at the Tokyo International Biennale of Art, but it was in foreign parts that he achieved his greatest triumphs: in 1961 the Prix d'Excellence at the Young Artists' International Biennale in Paris; in 1965 the Grand Prix at the International Print-making Biennale in Ljubljana; in 1966, the First Prize at the International Engraving Biennale in Cracow, and first prizes at the Biennales of Vienna and Venice, where he was only the second Japanese to win in this category, after Munakata Shiko in 1956. He was the first Japanese to have a one-man show at the New York Museum of Modern Art (1965). He was always on the move and spent two years in New York (1965-66), then settled for a year in Berlin (1967). Ikeda was producing prints in his studio in New York from 1969, he returned to Japan in 1980 and was based there from then on, and extended his brilliant talent beyond printmaking. In 1977, he won the 77th Akutagawa Prize (the most prestigious literary award in Japan) for his novel, Offering in the Aegean, and directed the film adaptation of the same title in 1979. His vigorous artistic activity even extended to the production of ceramic works from around 1983 onward. The Ikeda Masuo...

View of La Crau with Tree in the Foreground by Vincent van Gogh
By Vincent van Gogh
Located in New Orleans, LA
Vincent van Gogh
1853-1890 Dutch
View of La Crau with Tree in the Foreground
Signed "Vincent" (lower left)
Pencil, Reed Pen and Ink on Paper
“In my opinion the two views of the Crau and of the country on the banks of the Rhone are the best things I have done in pen and ink”— Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo, Letter 509.
Drawn in the countryside of Arles, France in May of 1888, Vincent van Gogh’s View of La Crau with Tree in the Foreground, is an exceptional example of the artist’s groundbreaking artistic approach, innovative understanding of spatial planes and expressive rendering of untamed nature.
Prior to his time in Arles, much of van Gogh’s work fell in line with the standards put forth by the Academy — traditional subject matters rendered in the accepted techniques. In 1888, upon his arrival in the French countryside, van Gogh entered a decisively new creative phase, experimenting with the thrilling abstraction and brushwork that would come to define his genius. Works produced between 1888 and 1890 are the best of van Gogh’s career and the most desired compositions among collectors and museums. Because of van Gogh’s prolific correspondence during this time, the creation of this drawing has been extremely well documented, emphasizing how importantly van Gogh himself viewed this work during his lifetime.
In Arles, the hill of the Abbey of Mont Majour was a favorite drawing spot for van Gogh – it was within walking distance of his famed “Yellow House” studio and its slopes afforded excellent panoramic views of La Crau, the plain through which the river Rhone meanders towards the Mediterranean. Van Gogh made a number of drawings of the rocky hill and the ancient abbey, but his most impressive drawings were composed when the artist was perched atop the hill.
This view of La Crau is taken from the vantage point at the top of Mont Majour. Van Gogh kept the horizon low and rendered an abundance of sky, against which he silhouetted a large tree swirling with voluminous branches and leaves. The expressive abstraction seen in the lines of the tree recalls the mystifying swirls of van Gogh’s later masterpiece Starry Night. The composition, with enlarged foreground and diminished middle distance and background offers a dramatic contrast and underscores van Gogh’s unique understanding of space.
Van Gogh’s drawings of La Crau were not preparatory studies or sketches, but rather, conceived as individual works of art in their own right. This view of La Crau was part of a group of seven drawings that van Gogh executed during May 1888. Van Gogh was quite taken with this composition, writing to his brother Theo that, "The contrast between the wild romantic foreground, and the distant perspective, wide and still, with horizontal lines sloping into the chain of the Alps ... is very striking”(Letter no. 470), adding that the view to him was, “as beautiful and as infinite as the sea.”
As evidenced by van Gogh’s own glowing writings on these works, it is clear that these drawings are some of the artist’s most beloved. Other drawings of La Crau from this series reside in the British Museum and at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. This drawing has been featured in several exhibitions, holding a privileged position in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 1984 exhibition Van Gogh in Arles, as reflected in the popular exhibition catalogue.
Van Gogh’s period in Arles was marked by revelatory creative development and a most impressive artistic output against the backdrop of the artist’s growing mental duress. Van Gogh was open about his struggles, reflecting sentiments like, “My brain is still feeling tired and dried up.” However, he found solace in his work, noting that in spite of his deteriorating state, “some good canvases have come out of it.”
This beautiful and rare drawing is an important work by the modern master and reflects van Gogh’s profound and persistent desire to create and evolve despite his struggles.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between van Gogh and Gauguin was in their artistic styles and preferred subject matter. Although both artists were self-taught and are now considered Post-Impressionists, you can draw many contrasts between their work. Van Gogh tended to apply thick layers of paint with a technique known as impasto, giving his work dramatic texture. On the other hand, Gauguin's paintings are smoother, but they are equally dramatic due to his use of vibrant, often unrealistic or unexpected colors. The primary goal of van Gogh was to express his feelings and emotions through his landscapes, portraits and still-lifes. Instead of self-expression, Gauguin concerned himself with infusing symbolism and spiritualism into his work. He was a pioneer of Primitivism, art that seeks to explore the relationship between early man and his environment. On 1stDibs, find a range of Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin art.
