ESAURITO / SOLD OUT

This exhibition overturns the perspective of the Van Gogh stereotype and presents Vincent van Gogh who is less of an outsider and more surprisingly up-to-date on the cultural debate of his time: a passionate reader and collector of prints, as well as an attentive observer of the most current artistic trends.

Through a chronological and thematic path, the exhibition proposes a new reading of Van Gogh’s works that highlights the relationship between his painterly vision and the depth of his cultural dimension, through the development of two themes of great relevance: on the one hand, his passionate interest in books, and on the other hand, his fascination with Japan fueled by his love for Japanese prints, which he himself collected in large numbers.

The exhibition is made possible thanks to the prestigious loan of the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands, which has an extraordinary collection of paintings and drawings by the Dutch painter, second only to that of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
