Download or read book Stealing Van Gogh written by Robert C. Williams and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the surface, the transaction was quite ordinary, In 1961, Yale University accepted Vincent Van Gogh's famous painting Night Café and twenty-two other pictures as a bequest from Stephen Clark, wealthy heir to the Singer Manufacturing Company fortune and Yale alumnus. How the painting arrived at this point and what has taken place since is a fascinating and enlightening tale that stretches over all or parts of three centuries.The story of Night Café begins at a bar in the South of France in 1888 where thirty-five year old Vincent Van Gogh painted the café interior in garish and clashing colors. What happens to the painting after that is a long journey ending over a hundred and thirty years later in a court of law. Follow this trail of art and money from Paris to Moscow, then New York and New Haven where it currently resides at Yale University. It is a story of capitalist wealth, personal obsession, greed, espionage, museum secrecy, foreign trade, diplomacy, Soviet economic desperation and the shenanigans of the art world. The secrets of Night Café's journey serve as a guide to the human condition and the history of our times.Praise for Stealing Van Gogh:"Robert Williams, arch-sleuth of Russian-American art dealings, has struck again. Decades after his insightful and droll Russian Art and American Money he now brings to us the century-long drama of the diplomatic, financial, and legal intrigues surrounding Van Gogh's masterpiece, Night Café. Spanning three regimes in Moscow and awash with American money, Williams' story should disabuse anyone who thinks art is only about art." S. Frederick Starr, Professor of History, Johns Hopkins University and author of The Ferghana Valley: The Heart of Central Asia "With a light, deft hand, Robert Williams tells the fascinating story of the odyssey of a painting, Vincent Van Gogh's Night Café. From a private owner it was appropriated by the Soviet government only to end up in the hands of a wealthy American collector. The painting is the device for telling the larger story of intrigue, conspiracy, theft, exploitation, genuine good taste, and how the very rich collected treasures that the relatively poor Soviet government was willing to give up. A thoroughly enjoyable read, Stealing Van Gogh guides us through a rollicking tour of early Soviet-American relations and the vagaries of the art market." Ronald Grigor Suny, Professor, University of Michigan and author of The Soviet Experiment

Book excerpt: Starry Night is a fully illustrated account of Van Gogh's time at the asylum in Saint-Remy. Despite the challenges of ill health and asylum life, Van Gogh continued to produce a series of masterpieces – cypresses, wheatfields, olive groves and sunsets. He wrote very little about the asylum in letters to his brother Theo, so this book sets out to give an impression of daily life behind the walls of the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole and looks at Van Gogh through fresh eyes, with newly discovered material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of Vincent van Gogh’s sisters tells the fascinating story of the lives of these women whose history has largely been neglected. Many people are familiar with the life and art of Vincent van Gogh, and his extensive correspondence with his brother Theo. But their sisters—Ana, Lies, and Wil van Gogh—have gone overlooked until now. In this compelling group biography based on extensive primary resources, art historian Willem-Jan Verlinden brings Vincent’s three sisters into the spotlight. At a time when the feminist movement was beginning to take root and idealists were clamoring for revolution, the Van Gogh sisters recorded their aspirations and dreams, their disappointments and grief. Based on little-known correspondence between the sisters, this fascinating account of these remarkable women captures a moment of profound social, economic, and artistic change. With great clarity and empathy, The Van Gogh Sisters relates the sisters’ intimate discussions of art, poetry, books, personal ambitions, and employment. Their story will resonate with readers and broaden understandings of Vincent van Gogh’s childhood. Set against the backdrop of a turbulent period in nineteenth-century history this story sheds new light on these impressive women, deepening our understanding of this unique and often troubled family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The artists of the Organic School of the Russian avant-garde found inspiration as well as a model for artistic growth in the creative principles of nature. Isabel W?nsche analyzes the artistic influences, intellectual foundations, and scientific publications that shaped the formation of these artists, the majority of whom were based in St. Petersburg. Particular emphasis is given to the holistic worldviews and organic approaches prevalent among artists of the pre-revolutionary avant-garde, specifically Jan Ciaglinski, Nikolai Kulbin, and Elena Guro, as well as the emergence of the concept of Organic Culture as developed by Mikhail Matiushin, practiced at the State Institute of Artistic Culture, and taught at the reformed Art Academy in the 1920s. Discussions of faktura and creative intuition explore the biocentric approaches that dominated the work of Pavel Filonov, Kazimir Malevich, Voldemar Matvejs, Olga Rozanova, and Vladimir Tatlin. The artistic approaches of the Organic School of the Russian avant-garde were further promoted and developed by Vladimir Sterligov and his followers between 1960 and 1990. The study examines the cultural potential as well as the utopian dimension of the artists? approaches to creativity and their ambitious visions for the role of art in promoting human psychophysiological development and shaping post-revolutionary culture.

Download or read book Russian and Soviet Views of Modern Western Art, 1890s to Mid-1930s written by Ilia Dorontchenkov and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-06-10 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the first Modernist exhibitions in the late 1890s to the Soviet rupture with the West in the mid-1930s, Russian artists and writers came into wide contact with modern European art and ideas. Introducing a wealth of little-known material set in an illuminating interpretive context, this sourcebook presents Russian and Soviet views of Western art during this critical period of cultural transformation. The writings document complex responses to these works and ideas before the Russians lost contact with them almost entirely. Many of these writings have been unavailable to foreign readers and, until recently, were not widely known even to Russian scholars. Both an important reference and a valuable resource for classrooms, the book includes an introductory essay and shorter introductions to the individual sections.

Book excerpt: The artists’ books made in Russia between 1910 and 1915 are like no others. Unique in their fusion of the verbal, visual, and sonic, these books are meant to be read, looked at, and listened to. Painters and poets—including Natalia Goncharova, Velimir Khlebnikov, Mikhail Larionov, Kazimir Malevich, and Vladimir Mayakovsky— collaborated to fabricate hand-lithographed books, for which they invented a new language called zaum (a neologism meaning “beyond the mind”), which was distinctive in its emphasis on “sound as such” and its rejection of definite logical meaning. At the heart of this volume are close analyses of two of the most significant and experimental futurist books: Mirskontsa (Worldbackwards) and Vzorval’ (Explodity). In addition, Nancy Perloff examines the profound differences between the Russian avant-garde and Western art movements, including futurism, and she uncovers a wide-ranging legacy in the midcentury global movement of sound and concrete poetry (the Brazilian Noigandres group, Ian Hamilton Finlay, and Henri Chopin), contemporary Western conceptual art, and the artist’s book. Sound recordings of zaum poems featured in the book are available at www.getty.edu.
