Frankfurter Kunstverein, Vincent van Gogh, Zeichnungen und Aquarelle, April - June 1970. ---------------------------------- Van Gogh painted The Iron Mill in The Hague at a crucial juncture in his early development as an artist. Previously he had made numerous chalk and ink drawings, washed drawings, and largely monochromatic watercolors. He was still only comfortable in working within a limited range of tonal values, and had little understanding of how to use the expressive possibilities of color. He was indeed a late starter; he was almost thirty years old and had not yet tried his hand at oil painting, the real test of a young artist's progress and skills. Nevertheless, during the early months of 1882 that he spent in The Hague, he made tremendous strides in his draughtsmanship, and acquired a useful understanding of perspective. He put these means to use in a series of carefully composed and executed watercolors, including the present work, which were more opaquely rendered than previously and heightened with white body-color, that he painted in the late spring and early summer. In August, less than a month after he painted The Iron Mill, van Gogh made his first oil paintings. It was a time of significant development in van Gogh's personal life as well. He had begun a liaison with a pregnant prostitute, Sien. He was also hospitalized after contracting a venereal disease. During the spring of 1882, prior to his hospital stay, van Gogh had been concentrating on landscapes with figures, in addition to figure drawings for which Sien and members of her family had served as models. The principal motivation for the landscapes was a commission from the artist's uncle, Cornelis Marinus van Gogh, an art dealer in The Hague. On 11 March, having seen some of van Gogh's recent city drawings (Hulsker, nos. 111 and 112), C.M. van Gogh ordered a dozen more, for which he offered to pay his nephew one rijksdaalder apiece. Before 24 March the artist completed the first group of the drawings he hoped his 'Uncle Cor' would buy (H., nos. 111-119, 121 and 125). He completed three more by the end of the month (H., nos. 122-124). One wonders at how 'Uncle Cor,' whom one might presume had very traditional tastes, responded to Gas Tanks (H., no. 118), the most modern of the subjects that van Gogh depicted in his The Hague townscapes. Lacking any picturesque qualities, it is nonetheless a strong and confidently executed drawing, rendered in convincing perspective with a varied touch, and combining many details within a broadly expansive view. These are the very same qualities that van Gogh would bring to his mature landscape drawings at the end of the decade. In any case, 'Uncle Cor' commissioned further drawings, which van Gogh continued to work on into May. He began to heighten these drawings with white body color. Among them were several backyard scenes, such as the well-known Carpenter's Yard and Laundry (H., no. 150; Rijkmuseum Kröller-Müller, OttC:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.ini |
