梵高版画《保罗·加歇医生肖像》高清图片

作品简介

This portrait of Dr. Paul Gachet, made just two months before the artist’s death, is the only etching that Vincent van Gogh created. Van Gogh placed himself under the care of Gachet in Auvers-sur-Oise, a small village on the northern outskirts of Paris, at the recommendation of fellow artist Camille Pissarro. The doctor was himself an amateur printmaker and gave Van Gogh a varnished copper plate, helping him print it on his own small hand press. For his first attempt, Van Gogh depicted Gachet seated in his garden smoking a pipe.

Van Gogh’s brother Theo wrote of this print, “It’s a real painter’s etching. No refinement in the procedure, but a drawing done on metal.”

这幅《保罗·加歇医生肖像》完成于梵高去世前两个月，是文森特·梵高生前创作的唯一一幅蚀刻版画。在画家卡米耶·毕沙罗的推荐下，梵高来到巴黎北郊的奥维尔小镇接受加歇医生的照料。这位医生本人也是位业余版画家，他为梵高提供了一块上过清漆的铜板，并协助其用小型手动印刷机完成印制。在首次尝试中，梵高描绘了加歇医生在花园中抽着烟斗的闲适姿态。

梵高的弟弟提奥在信中如此评价这幅作品："这是真正属于画家的蚀刻——没有精雕细琢的技法，只有金属板上流淌的线条生命。"
