Van Gogh Up Close, a major exhibition organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Canada, presents a group of the artist´s most daring and innovative works that broke with the past and dramatically altered the course of modern painting. Made between 1886 and 1890 in Paris, Arles, Saint-Rémy, and Auvers, the works in the exhibition concentrate on an important and hitherto overlooked aspect of Van Gogh´s work: fine details or “close–ups,” that bring familiar subjects such as landscape elements, still lifes, and flowers into the extreme foreground of the composition or focus on them in ways that are entirely unexpected and without precedent. The exhibition includes more than 40 landscapes and still lifes, which have not been seen together or identified as critical to our understanding of Van Gogh´s artistic achievement. Van Gogh Up Close, including major loans from museums and private collections in Europe, North America, and Japan, will only be exhibited in Philadelphia.
