Tijdelijk Beschikbaar Van Gogh and the Avant-Garde – Along the Seine / 1st Edition

During the 1880s, five ambitious artists, Vincent van Gogh, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Emile Bernard, and Charles Angrand, ventured to the suburbs northwest of Paris to paint along the river Seine. Van Gogh and the Avant-Garde: Along the Seine is the first publication to investigate these artists’ motivations for leaving the city to paint the suburbs and the profound influence that Asnières, clichy, and the surrounding areas had upon their revolutionary approaches to color and brushstroke. By examining how their paintings captured the tensions of the suburban environment and the experimentation of their painting practice, this groundbreaking volume reveals the undeniable impact that these Parisian suburbs exerted in the late nineteenth century.
