Amsterdam

Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk

2001

Here is a typical case of memory overload : In 2001 I saw the Van Gogh Museum, but I cannot remember whether I also went to the Stedelijk. Barbara swears she was there. In 1984 I spent a week in Amsterdam and saw both Musea (as they say in Dutch). The pictures that come to mind are three late Van Gogh paintings, but where and when I saw the others remains in the dark.

Gauguin, Les Miserables, Gauguin and Bernard Van Gogh, 1888

Paul Gauguin, Le Christ jaune, 1889 (Van Gogh Museum)

Van Gogh, His Room at Arles, 1889 (Van Gogh Museum)

Van Gogh, Crows over the Wheat Field, 1890 (Van Gogh Museum)

Van Gogh, The Sower, 1890
