Van Gogh and Britain ‘
Trip to Tate Britain on Tuesday June 18th 2019
This exciting exhibition ‘Van Gogh and Britain’ presents the largest collection of Van Gogh’s paintings in the UK for nearly a decade. Some of his most famous works are brought together from around the world – including Shoes, Starry Night on the Rhône, L’Arlésienne, the rarely lent Sunflowers and two works he made at the Saint-Paul Asylum, At Eternity’s Gate and Prisoners Exercising. Van Gogh spent several crucial years in London from 1873 to 1876. The exhibition reveals his enthusiasm for British culture during his stay and his subsequent artistic career. It shows how he was inspired and influenced by the art he saw, including works by John Constable and John Everett Millais and writers such as Shakespeare, Dickens, George Eliot and Christina Rossetti. The exhibition also looks at the British artists who were inspired by Van Gogh, including Francis Bacon, David Bomberg, and the young Camden Town painters and how his vision set British artists on the road to modern art.
