Paul Gauguin: The Breakthrough into Modernity
AMSTERDAM  •  Van Gogh Museum  •  19 February - 6 June 2010
 
 

Paul Gauguin: The breakthrough into modernity examines the Volpini suite, a series of 11 zincographs on brilliant, canary-yellow paper, which played such a crucial role in Gauguin’s development into a modern artist. The exhibition also shows works by Gauguin and his friends like Charles Laval, Emile Bernard and Louis Anquetin closely linked to the Volpini suite lithographs.

Altogether there are some 60 works of art (paintings, works on paper, sculptures and ceramics) on view, including key pieces such as Be mysterious (Musée d'Orsay), Breton girls dancing  (National Gallery of Art, Washington), Self-portrait (Pushkin Museum, Moscow) and Is there news (Gemälde galerie Neue Meister, Dresden). The recent acquisition of the Van Gogh Museum, Breton girl spinning is also on show.
