Vincent Van Gogh (i) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 72 x 90 cm - 1888 - (Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam, Netherlands)) (i) - Post-Impressionism (i)

Vincent Van Gogh 's Van Gogh's Bedroom in Arles (First Version) is a seminal work of Post-Impressionism, created in October 1888. This painting is one of three almost identical versions that the artist produced on the theme of his bedroom.

Introduction

The first version, housed at the Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam, Netherlands) , measures 72 x 90 cm and was executed in oil on canvas. This medium allowed Van Gogh to express his bold use of color and thick application of paint, which became a hallmark of his style.

Style

This artwork belongs to the Post-Impressionism style, characterized by its reaction against Impressionism and focus on emotional content and symbolic subject matter. The painting's composition consists almost entirely of straight lines, contributing to a sense of sparseness and order.

Date and Location

Van Gogh created this painting while living in Arles, France, in October 1888. He was awaiting the arrival of Paul Gauguin, with whom he hoped to establish an artistic retreat and commune.

History

The first version of Van Gogh's Bedroom in Arles (First Version) was damaged in a flood that occurred while Van Gogh was hospitalized in Arles. Almost a year later, he made two copies: one, the same size, is now at the Art Institute in Chicago; the other, smaller, is at the Musée d'Orsay.

Significance

In a letter to his brother Theo, Van Gogh explained that he wanted to express absolute calm with different colors. He described the room's pale lilac walls, uneven red floor, chrome yellow chairs and bed, very pale lime green pillows and sheet, blood-red blanket, orange washbasin, and green window.
