When van Gogh discovered Japanese printing art, this was a turning point in his career as a painter. He became obsessed with this art form and started collecting various prints on a large-scale. During Van Gogh & Japan the Van Gogh Museum shows a huge collection as an hommage to this time period. With 60 paintings and drawings by van Gogh himself and a rich selection of Japanese prints this is an impressive exhibition showing a new side of this Dutch Grandmaster.
See a preview of this interesting collection in the video down below.
