Japanese Prints from Van Gogh's Collection
Vincent van Gogh collected hundreds of Japanese prints. He started his collection when he lived in Paris with his brother Theo.
He studied the prints and was convinced that the art of the future had to be colourful and joyous, just like Japanese printmaking. From 1888 and his time in Arles (southern France) onwards, his compositions became flatter and more intense in colour, with clear lines and decorative patterns.
Most of Van Gogh's Japanese print collection found its way into the Van Gogh Museum, thanks to Theo and Jo van Gogh-Bonger.
Enjoy over 500 colourful prints from his collection and admire them just as Van Gogh did.
