Juxtaposing landmark paintings with precious drawings and illustrated letters-many rarely, if ever, lent or exhibited together-this tightly conceived thematic exhibition offers an extraordinary opportunity to appreciate anew some of Van Gogh’s most celebrated works in a context that reveals the backstory of their invention for the first time. Some 40 works illuminate the extent of his fascination with the region’s distinctive flamelike evergreens as they successively sparked, fueled, and stoked his imagination over the course of two years in the South of France: from his initial sightings of the “tall and dark” trees in Arles to realizing their full, evocative potential (“as I see them”) at the asylum in Saint-Rémy. Such iconic pictures as Wheat Field with Cypresses and The Starry Night take their place as the centerpiece in a presentation that affords an unprecedented perspective on a motif virtually synonymous with the Dutch artist’s fiercely original power of expression. This edition includes the drawings that originally. Van Gogh’s Cypresses is the first exhibition to focus on the trees-among the most famous in the history of art-immortalized in signature images by Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890). The letters are linked by explanatory biographical passages, revealing Van Goghs inner journey as well as the outer facts of his life.
