Description
Vincent van Gogh's fascination with Japanese printmaking began over 150 years ago. During his time in Paris, he collected over six hundred prints and displayed them in his studio as inspiration. These prints had a profound impact on Van Gogh's artistic style, influencing him to develop a unique approach that engaged directly with the viewer. The works presented here, from the museum's collection, offer a glimpse into Van Gogh's vision and the creative influences behind his art. This book brings together a selection of prints that Van Gogh owned during his lifetime, alongside the works they inspired, providing a compelling insight into one of the most powerful creative forces shaping his art.
