The Kroller-Muller Museum is one of the great art collections in Europe, yet it remains unknown to many Americans because of its remote location in the Hoge Veluwe National Park in rural southeast Netherlands. This beautifully illustrated book features highlights from the Museum's collection of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century art, including more than a score of works by Vincent van Gogh. The Museum is the result of the passion of a singular collector: Helene Kroller-Muller (1869-1939). The wife of a Dutch shipping magnate, she used almost unlimited funds to amass an astounding collection in a short period of time. Beginning in the 1910s, she collected voraciously -- not only Van Gogh but Neo-Impressionist masters Seurat, Signac, and Denis, and Symbolists Redon and Toorop. She patronized and supported artists who were pioneering abstraction -- particularly Mondrian, Van Doesburg, and Van der Leck -- and collected the Cubists, including Picasso, Gris, and Leger. Mrs. Kroller-Muller had a consuming desire to create a museum where her collection could be displayed for the public. Over a period of more than twenty-five years, she worked with some of the leading architects of the early twentieth century -- H. P. Berlage, Mies van der Rohe, and Henry van de Velde -- and finally in 1938 her dream was realized with the opening of the institution that bears her name. Book jacket.

Helene Kröller-Müller purchased her first work by Vincent van Gogh in 1908: 'Edge of a wood' dating from 1883. This modest and still fairly traditional painting laid the foundation for a Van Gogh collection that would expand rapidly in the period that followed. That same year, she acquired the considerably more daring painting 'Four sunflowers gone to seed' (1887). Today, the Kröller-Müller Museum is proud custodian of the second largest Van Gogh collection in the world: 88 paintings and over 180 works on paper.0 0This is the first book in which the Kröller-Müller?s entire collection of Van Gogh paintings and drawings has been reproduced and described, embedded within the story of his life and his art.

The prints and drawings of Vincent van Gogh (1853-90) include some of the world's best-known, most popular, and most valuable pieces. This volume is a catalog of van Gogh drawings and prints that are currently under the care of the Kröller-Müller Museum, located near the village of Otterlo in the Netherlands. Catalogued for the first time in 1917, these works have undergone four different editions of the cataloguing process by four different members of the museum staff since World War II alone, and always in the company of van Gogh's more famous paintings. Now, for the first time, the drawings have been studied independently, and the information gathered here presents a remarkably clear overview of the present scholarship and art historical research on the authenticity, dating, provenance, and exhibitions of the work. Differing in many ways from the last collection catalog of van Gogh's drawings and paintings (which was published nearly thirty years ago), this volume not only produces new information on the provenance of certain works, but frequently comes up with a sharper analysis of the techniques and materials used by the artist, as well as new dates for individual drawings. Doubts that have arisen about the authenticity of certain juvenilia by van Gogh are here provided with a well-reasoned foundation, and with the publication of this edition--which complements a 2003 catalog of van Gogh's paintings--a period of intensive research on van Gogh's works in the collection has been brought to a close, culminating in this impeccably researched catalog and its accompanying wealth of full-color images.

Odilon Redon (Bordeaux, 1840 - Paris, 1916) was a painter, lithographer, draughtsman and pastellist, as well as a writer, critic and musician. As so many symbolists he was fascinated by synaesthesia, the idea that an experience can be more intense when several senses are solicited together. Redon was masterful at interweaving the expressive powers of literature, music and the visual arts. By addressing some of Redon's favorite themes, this richly illustrated publication shows how he transposed literary and musical motifs into his own work and how he reinvented such themes over and over again creating new associations and meaning. Next to literary themes and subjects linked to classical drama, Redon chose topics that were inspired by, among others, Richard Wagner's and Robert Schumann's music. With more than 200 illustrations of works largely in private collections and the Kröller-Müller Museum, and with essays by renowned experts on Redon and Symbolism, this book provides extensive insight into the importance of literature and music in Odilon Redon's oeuvre.
