"The painter and poet âEmile Bernard's firsthand account of the beloved painter Vincent van Gogh's life offers deep perspective into the Dutch artist's process, artistic preoccupations, and difficulties. In the 1890s, Bernard penned prefaces for collections of letters from Van Gogh, some of which were published while others were not. In 1911, Bernard gathered together these prefaces for a new publication, to which he also contributed a new introductory text, of the artist's letters and sketches which he enclosed in his correspondence. This volume comprises these prefaces, published in English for the first time, as well as a selection of letters from Van Gogh to Bernard. In addition to including biographical details and reflections on art and friendship, Bernard chronicles his attempts to have Van Gogh's work recognized after his death. Shedding light on the artistic community they inhabited, he also discusses notable figures such as Claude Monet and Paul Gauguin"--Publisher's description.
Autorenporträt
Émile Bernard (1868–1941) was a French painter and writer known for his contributions to cloisonnism—a post-impressionist style defined by flat plains of bold color and distinct outlines—and his friendships with Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Odilon Redon, and Paul Cezanne. He was also a prolific writer of art criticism and poetry: he published his correspondence with Van Gogh and other artists and founded and edited the review La Rénovation esthétique. His works are held in museums worldwide. Martin Bailey is a London-based van Gogh specialist. His recent books include The Sunflowers Are Mine: The Story of van Gogh’s Masterpiece, Studio of the South: Van Gogh in Provence, Living with Vincent van Gogh: The Homes and Landscapes that Shaped the Artist, Starry Night: Van Gogh at the Asylum, and Van Gogh’s Finale: Auvers and the Artist’s Rise to Fame. He has curated a number of van Gogh exhibitions, most recently Van Gogh and Britain at London’s Tate Britain. Bailey is a correspondent for The Art Newspaper and writes a weekly blog on van Gogh.
