Van Gogh, low on supplies, high on invention 🔮 In Saint-Rémy (FR) he had little paint left and was out of canvas too, so he painted the garden of the psychiatric institution with thinned oil paint on cardboard. At first he wasn’t allowed outside the garden.
Time has changed the work a bit: ink faded to brown, and the purple steps softened. (2)

Yellow can make some people feel overjoyed, and others feel almost sick. Van Gogh loved it: 'Sunshine, a light which [...] I can only call yellow [...]. How beautiful yellow is!' Our eyes work harder to process the colour yellow. Too bright can mean eye fatigue, irritation, even dizziness.
What does yellow do to you? Come find out at the exhibition ‘Yellow. Beyond Van Gogh’s Colour’, on view until 17 May.

Starting in 1887, Van Gogh returned to the subject of blossoming trees every spring. And 1890 was no exception. Near Pontoise, he sketched a house almost hidden behind a chestnut tree, adding colour notes so he could later turn the drawing into a painting. Look for the strong path perspective and the tree set against a blue ‘halo’ of sky. 🌳✨

Vincent enjoyed drinking absinthe, a spirit with an intense green colour. He used this specific colour to describe a painting. In a letter to his brother Theo, Vincent explained: 📝‘there’s a view of the Rhône, in which the sky and the water are the colour of absinthe, with a blue bridge and black figures of ruffians’.
Does Vincent’s description change the way you see this painting?

A portrait with a clue! 💡This is a portrait of Père Tanguy, the art dealer who Van Gogh frequented during his time in Paris. There are many details in the background that are easy to overlook. In the upper left corner, you can spot part of the painting ‘Quinces, Lemons, Pears and Grapes’. (2) If you compare the portrait to the still life, you’ll notice that the red inner edge of the frame is missing in the still life as we know it today. 🤯 Van Gogh probably chose that colour for the landscape that he initially painted on the canvas. He later painted the fruit still life over it.

Vincent’s little landscape makeover 👀
In ‘Farms near Auvers-sur-Oise’, he didn’t paint everything exactly as it was. Can you spot what he changed? (Guess first!)
Next to the painting, you see an old photo of the same farm. (2) The houses on the right were really there, even the shrubbery creeping across the façade. But Vincent tweaks the background and adds extra houses on the left that weren’t actually there. And the slightly odd perspective is a clue: he’s inventing, not just observing.
