Van Gogh Museum Wins Licensing International Excellence Award
The partnership with Moleskine has won an award in the ‘Best Product – Publishing, Social Expression, or Back to School’ category.
There is creativity in all of us. The Moleskine x Van Gogh Museum collection of premium notebooks offers a blank canvas from which to explore and express your own creativity.
Moleskine is known for their iconic notebooks. It’s our shared belief that the power of creativity is present within each and every one of us.
‘The creative power can't be held back, what one feels must come out.’
Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo, 3 June 1883
Vincent van Gogh didn’t come to understand his artistic vocation and path until he was 27 years old. Vincent had many jobs before he decided to become an artist, encouraged by his younger brother Theo. Nothing could stop him from improving his skills as an artist.
The collaboration between Moleskine and the Van Gogh Museum challenges everyone to search for your own uniqueness and shine a light on your creative verve, just like Vincent did.
The ivory-hued pages in the Moleskine x Van Gogh Museum notebooks are a space for dormant inspiration and ideas to take seed and blossom. The covers of the notebooks zoom in on van Gogh’s brushstrokes, that are so unique to him, in a selection of his most beloved paintings: Sunflowers (1889), Irises (1890) and Almond Blossom (1890).
Moleskine’s notebooks are famous for their beautiful design and excellent quality. One can imagine that notebooks of similar calibre were popular with Vincent van Gogh and other big names from literary and art history.
