Van Gogh en de avant-garde. Aan de Seine - Engels

During the 1880s, five ambitious artists, Vincent van Gogh, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Emile Bernard, and Charles Angrand, ventured to the suburbs northwest of Paris to paint along the river Seine.
'Van Gogh and the Avant-Garde: Along the Seine' is the first publication to investigate these artists’ motivations for leaving the city to paint the suburbs and the profound influence that Asnières, Clichy, and the surrounding areas had upon their revolutionary approaches to color and brushstroke. By examining how their paintings captured the tensions of the suburban environment and the experimentation of their painting practice, this groundbreaking volume reveals the undeniable impact that these Parisian suburbs exerted in the late nineteenth century.

‘And when I painted landscape in Asnières this summer I saw more color in it than before.’
Vincent van Gogh to his sister Willemien van Gogh, October 1887
