Het gele huis ('De straat'), 1888 The yellow house ('The street') olieverf op doek / oil on canvas Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Stichting) In mei 1888 huurde Van Gogh vier kamers in het rechter deel van het huis aan de Place Lamartine in Arles. Zijn woning is herkenbaar aan de groene luiken, daar achter lag zijn slaapkamer. Eindelijk had Van Gogh een plaats gevonden waar hij niet alleen kon schilderen maar ook vrienden kon laten logeren. Uiteindelijk wilde hij graag een ‘atelier van het zuiden’ stichten, waar een groep eensgezinden samen kon werken. Zoals hij dat eerder al had gedaan in Nuenen en Parijs, geeft Van Gogh in dit schilderij zijn naaste omgeving weer. Links is het restaurant te zien waar hij vaak ging eten. Rechts achter de eerste spoorbrug woonde zijn vriend, de postbode Joseph Roulin. Dit stadsgezicht is daarnaast een compositie in contrasterende kleuren. ‘Want het is machtig, die gele huizen in de zon en dan de onvergelijkelijke helderheid van het blauw’, schreef hij aan Theo, in de brief waarin hij hem ook een tekening naar het schilderij stuurde. ______________________________________________________________ In May 1888, Van Gogh rented four rooms on the right-hand side of a house on the Place Lamartine in Arles. His living quarters were the ones with the green shutters. His bedroom lay beyond. Vincent had finally found a place where he could not only paint but also welcome his friends. His goal was to establish a “Studio of the South,” where he and like-minded artists could work together. Just as he did in Nuenen and Paris, Van Gogh here depicts his own surroundings. To the left we see the restaurant where he usually took his meals. His friend, the postman Joseph Roulin, lived to the right, behind the first railroad bridge. The view is also an exploration of color contrast: “What a powerful sight, those yellow houses in the sun and then the unforgettable clarity of the blue [sky],” he wrote to Theo in the letter that accompanied a drawing he had made after the painting. This photo was taken on 23 june 2009 during a one-time exclusive photo session at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam for the Wiki Loves Art /NL project. |
