During his stays in Belgium between 1878 and 1886, Vincent van Gogh discovered Belgian artists in Brussels, the Borinage, and Antwerp who would have an impact on his painter's eye. Realism would fuel his social concerns and open the way to a very personal artistic world. Towards the end of his life, while experimenting with light in the South of France, Van Gogh was exhibited in Brussels by the avant-garde group Les XX. Anna Boch, an artist and collector, bought a painting from him, one of the only ones he sold during his lifetime... Throughout his correspondence, which appears extensively in this book and is carefully linked to the reproduced works, Van Gogh expressed particularly diverse opinions on the artists he appreciated and despised, paying little attention to the traditional hierarchies of art history. This catalog therefore invites us to take a different look at the Belgian artistic heritage of the 19th century.
