Vincent van Gogh: Practice makes perfect

About the work

From 29 September 2012 to 25 April 2013, the Van Gogh Museum presents ‘Vincent. The Van Gogh Museum in the Hermitage Amsterdam’, focusing on Van Gogh’s personal themes.

Van Gogh was passionate and unconventional, constantly pursuing new goals. Sometimes he focused on elements of craft, such as technique or style, and sometimes on certain genres, such as portraits or landscapes. He developed his skills through study and experiment and by exploring themes of his own choosing, such as peasant life, portraits, self-portraits, colour, Japanese influences and nature.
