Vincent van Gogh est souvent considéré comme un peintre naturellement doué, indifférent aux faits et gestes de ses contemporains. Rien n'est moins vrai. Pour améliorer ses aptitudes techniques, il s'est imposé une discipline de fer, se livrant à des expériences systématiques sur de multiples matériaux et se laissant inspirer par d'autres, au fil d'échanges d'idées particulièrement intenses. Van Gogh à l'ouvre explique comment, de ses premiers croquis malhabiles à ses célèbres tableaux de Saint-Rémy-de-Provence ou d'Auverssur-Oise, il a réussi, en dix ans à peine, à maîtriser le dessin et la peinture. Des années de recherches innovantes et multidisciplinaires ont apporté de nombreuses révélations sur la manière dont Van Gogh maniait la plume, le crayon ou le pinceau. Cet ouvrage fait le point sur ses ateliers successifs, sur les manuels qu'il a utilisés et les techniques qu'il a mises en oeuvre, mais aussi sur les matériaux et les objets dont il se servait et sur les influences que d'autres artistes ont exercé sur son oeuvre. A travers les yeux du chercheur, le lecteur a ainsi tout le loisir de regarder par-dessus l'épaule de l'artiste.

De keuze van Vincent, de catalogus van de gelijknamige tentoonstelling die in de eerste helft van 2003 doorging in het Van Gogh Museum, schetst aan de hand van 200 werken een beeld van Van Goghs voorkeuren op het gebied van de beeldende kunst.

The subject of this volume are the 44 paintings held by the Van Gogh Museum. Over 200 Van Gogh paintings from this time period survive.

Paul-Ferdinand Gachet (1828-1909) was among the first to appreciate the work of Van Gogh, Cezanne, Pissarro, and other Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists. A physician and amateur painter, Gachet befriended many artists and bought and received as gifts a large number of artworks, including such masterpieces as Van Gogh's Church at Auvers and Cezanne's A Modern Olympia. Beginning in 1949, Gachet's children made a series of major donations to the French state from their father's extraordinary collection. This book, like the exhibition it accompanies, presents the entire Gachet donation of paintings, drawings, prints, and even memorabilia, offering fresh information on the works and the intriguing copies of them. An essay describes the eventful life of the Gachets and their close relationships with such artists as Cezanne and Van Gogh. Newly assembled documentation gives the first comprehensive overview of the original collection as well as previously unpublished information about major works never before known to have been owned by the Gachets.
