1881 -1890 · cooking, potatoes and manual labor
Cooking, picking up, planting and making a basket: Van Gogh paints the peasants with their gestures, their tools and the fatigue of a job that he refuses to beautify.
Peasant figures occupied Van Gogh from his Dutch years. He studied heads, hands and attitudes in Nuenen in order to construct a credible rural painting. The Peasant Girl Cooking by the Fire combines face, hearth and interior dark; the heat does not eliminate the poverty of the place. Farmers collecting potatoes are bent towards heavy soil which determines their posture. When planting potatoes, the gesture changes but the repetition collective remains essential. The farmer making a basket shows different manual knowledge, accomplished seated and concentrated. Later, the post-Millet revivals gave these activities a cyclical dimension, but Nuenen's studies retain their particular harshness. The "Paysans de Van Gogh" selection notably compares Peasant cooking by the fire and Peasants picking potatoes. Its reading favors composition.
Van Gogh wants the peasant hand to appear to have worked: the truth of the gesture counts more than the elegance of the pose.
