Supply: Nationwide Gallery, London · Picture: Vincent van Gogh, ‘Starry Night’ (1888, Musée d’Orsay, Paris).

‘Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers’ explores how the poetic creativeness and concepts related to love advanced into central themes for the artist. In Arles, for instance, Van Gogh designated the general public park in entrance of the Yellow Home (by which, in 1888, Van Gogh rented 4 rooms) as a Poets’ Backyard, envisioning Italian Renaissance poets Petrarch and Boccaccio strolling there. A few of Van Gogh’s most superb work and drawings of the time are related to this concept, and pairs of lovers seem in work equivalent to ‘Starry Night’ (1888, Musée d’Orsay, Paris).

In Could and June of 1889, after Van Gogh was admitted to the Saint-Paul de Mausole hospital in Saint-Rémy, he imagined the asylum’s overgrown backyard as a secluded website for lovers. He painted spectacular compositions depicting views of the grounds. The exhibition reveals how this idealising, euphoric exploration of the asylum backyard contrasts dramatically with works from the autumn when Van Gogh as a substitute related the exact same location along with his and his fellow sufferers’ sufferings.

In Arles, in late summer season of 1888, Van Gogh deliberate to brighten his Yellow Home with ‘The Poet’s Backyard’, the ‘Sunflowers’, ‘The Poet’ and ‘The Lover’. These work have been instrumental in his conception of an ornamental scheme that rapidly grew past the  partitions of the Yellow Home.

‘Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers’ reveals how the artist sought to create necessary compositions for exhibition in Paris, initially in 1889, yr of the Exposition Universelle, when he hoped to show them as a cohesive group alongside works by fellow avant-garde artists.

The exhibition explores how Van Gogh’s decisions for these works mirror his interested by portray in collection, his repeated references in letters to pendants, his use of opposites or contrasts to create concord and cohesion. The artist continued to pursue these concepts later in Saint-Rémy, as his works grew to become more and more identified in avant-garde circles.
