JAPANESE PRINTS THE COLLECTION OF VINCENT VAN G...

In the winter of 1886-87  during his stay in Paris  Vincent van Gogh bought 660 Japanese prints
at the art gallery of Siegfried Bing. His aim was to start dealing in them  but the exhibition
he organized in the café-restaurant Le Tambourin was a total failure. However  he was now able
to study his collection at ease and in close-up  and he gradually became captivated by their
colourful  cheerful and unusual imagery. When he left for Arles  he took some prints with him 
but the core remained in Paris with his brother Theo. Although some prints were later given
away  the collection did not disperse. This book reveals new analyses of the collection  now
held in the Van Gogh Museum  given as a long-term loan from the Vincent van Gogh Foundation.
The authors delve into its history  and the role the prints played in Van Gogh's creative
output. The book is illustrated with over 100 striking highlights from the collection.
