Ronald Pickvance has described the artist's fifteenth-month stay at Arles as "the zenith, the climax, the greatest flowering of Van Gogh's decade of artistic activity" (exh. cat., op. cit., New York, 1984, p. 11), and Richard Kendall has written, "The act of metamorphosis by which Van Gogh reinvented himself in Arles is one of the most startling phenomena of his career" (Van Gogh's Van Goghs, exh. cat., National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., 1998, p. 90). More specifically, the present painting dates to a nine-week period during which Gauguin visited Van Gogh at Arles, and the two artists lived and worked side-by-side. Their partnership gave rise to an episode of intense aesthetic exploration for both painters. Une Liseuse de romans bears powerful witness both to Van Gogh's response to Gauguin's example (in particular, to Gauguin's views about "abstraction" versus painting from nature) and to Van Gogh's passionate engagement with contemporary literature and the modern gospel of the Naturalist novel. Van Gogh painted the canvas in mid-November, during the fourth week of Gauguin's stay at Arles. A period of bad weather had descended upon the region, and the two painters were forced to work indoors. On November 10th, Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo, "We are having wind and rain here, and I am very glad not to be alone. I work from memory on bad days, and that would not do if I were alone" (Letter to Theo 718/561). Two days later, Van Gogh wrote to his sister Wil about two paintings that he had just completed, Memory of the Garden at Etten (De la Faille no. 496; fig. 1) and the present canvas: "I have also painted Une Liseuse de romans, the luxuriant hair very black, a green bodice, the sleeves the color of wine lees, the skirt black, the background all yellow, bookshelves with books. She is holding a yellow book in her hands" (LetterC:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.ini |
