Contemporary Urban Van Gogh Study For Worn Out 20211011
"This week, a new work by van Gogh was announced and put on display at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The piece is dated to 1882 and is a study for a known sketch titled “Worn Out,” also from the same year. “Study for ‘Worn Out'” (1882) is an early work by the artist and an extremely rare find; for an artist with such a collector’s pedigree, the discovery of new works is relatively unusual. The work, which depicts a man sitting in a chair, face pressed into his hands in a posture of defeat or - as the title suggests - exhaustion, was created during van Gogh’s time in the Hague." -hyperallergic
Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 - 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. His suicide at 37 followed years of mental illness and poverty. -wikipedia
