	MoMA.org \| Exhibitions \| 2001 \| Van Gogh's Postman: The Portraits of Joseph Roulin
		Joseph Roulin was a postal employee in Arles, and van Gogh painted him for the first time in the summer of 1888, resplendent in his blue, gold-trimmed postal uniform and cap, seated at a table and set against a light blue background.
		Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo of his excitement about "the modern portrait," a picture that renders character not by the imitation of the sitter's appearance but through the independent, vivid life of color.
		Pursuing this goal in the portraits he painted of Roulin, van Gogh was influenced by the artists Honoré Daumier (for his expressive and caricatural line) and Eugène Delacroix (for his use of color).

		His father was a Protestant pastor, and van Gogh first trained for the ministry, but he abandoned his studies in 1878 and went to work as a lay preacher among the impoverished miners of the grim Borinage district in Belgium.
		Van Gogh became obsessed by the symbolic and expressive values of colors and began to use them for this purpose rather than, as did the Impressionists, for the reproduction of visual appearances, atmosphere, and light.
		In 1889 Theo married and in May 1890 van Gogh moved to Auvers-sur-Oise to be near him, lodging with the patron and connoisseur Dr Paul Gachet.

	Van Gogh's Final Days
		Vincent described the bright colors of her dress and those of the background to his brother, saying that the colors in the portrait were the ideal complements of one of his landscapes of wheat, with the green of the wheat field enhancing the pink tones of the portrait.
		Van Gogh selected a variety of viewpoints for his landscapes, from high vantage points overlooking receding vistas of the fields, with the roofs of the town in the far distance, or in compositional formulas of panoramic views of expanses of wheat fields, as in Wheat Fields under Clouded Skies.
		Van Gogh was well aware that life on the land had altered since the days before the Industrial Revolution, yet he did not judge the changing character of the countryside nostalgically.

	Vincent Van Gogh Biography - His Life and Times
		Vincent van Gogh, for whom color was the chief symbol of expression, was born in Groot-Zundert, Holland.
		Van Gogh's finest works were produced in less than three years in a technique that grew more and more impassioned in brushstroke, in symbolic and intense color, in surface tension, and in the movement and vibration of form and line.
		Van Gogh's inimitable fusion of form and content is powerful; dramatic, lyrically rhythmic, imaginative, and emotional, for the artist was completely absorbed in the effort to explain either his struggle against madness or his comprehension of the spiritual essence of man and nature.

		For Van Gogh, her image transcended portraiture, symbolically resonating as a modern Madonna; of its palette, which ranges from ocher to vermilion and malachite, Van Gogh expressed his wish that it "sang a lullaby in colors," underscoring the expressive role of color in his art.

	VAN GOGH
		The Van Gogh Museum would be in a difficult position to act as an arbitrator in the case since Mr Goto, so much pleased with his acquisition, offered the institution some US $ 20 millions to help build a new extension to its existing building.
		For a long time, the Museum was regarded as the sole authority regarding Van Gogh's paintings but with the catalogue raisonné and Mr Goto's piece being challenged it now faces the dire prospect of having to share its prerogatives with those nasty researchers or at least other specialists.
		Now, Mr de Robertis and Mr Landais must prove on their side that they have enough knowledge of Van Gogh's works to stake their claims because it would be rather childish to believe that the artist's letters to his brother Theo constitute the only element enabling to determine whether a painting is genuine or not.

		During these years van Gogh's style shifted from the darker manner characteristic of his Nuenen period to a postimpressionist style heavily influenced by divisionism.

		It is a performance attuned to the public myth of Van Gogh, the events of his life, and the intensity that sears his letters, extracts from which provide much of that film’s contextual information, locking us further into his worldview (5).
		Like Van Gogh, Pialat “painted” modern portraits of people in his films, “not for an external beauty or a certain character trait… but because of their mere humanity”.
		In a deleted scene, Adeline (Leslie Azzoulai) speaks to Van Gogh of a dream she had of a man who reminded her of the artist, moving with “[r]andom gestures, as though he hadn’t thought them through”.
