Van Gogh is one of the most famous artists of all time. But do we really know him?
The exhibition "MAKING VAN GOGH. A German Love Story" at the Städel Museum (10/23/2019-2/16/2020) focuses on the creation of the “legend of Van Gogh” around 1900 as well as his significance to modern art in Germany. The exhibition addresses the special role that gallery owners, museums, private collectors and art critics played in Germany in the early twentieth century for the posthumous reception of Van Gogh as the “father of modern art”. Just less than 15 years after his death, in this country Van Gogh was perceived as one of the most important precursor of modern painting. Soon, German artists began to vigorously examine his works. Van Gogh’s painting became a model and a substantial source of inspiration in particular for the young Expressionists. The emergence of modernism in Germany is hardly conceivable without his art.
