1889 -1890 · color translation and working memory
In Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh takes Millet back without looking for the servile copy: first steps, sower, reaper and end of the day become colorful translations of images that he admires.
During his stay at the Saint-Rémy asylum, Van Gogh often worked from engravings reproducing Jean-François Millet. He compares this practice to the interpretation of a score: the motif comes from another artist, but the color and the touch constitutes a new execution. First steps transforms a family scene into a network of blues, yellows and greens where the distance between the child and open arms becomes the subject. The Sower gives the agricultural gesture a regular pulsation. The Reaper combines work and metaphor of death, but under a sun that does not suppress vitality. Evening, the end of the day brings together couple, tools and rest in a nocturnal range. These covers bear witness to both admiration, learning and artistic continuity. The selection "Van Gogh after Millet" notably compares First Steps, after Millet and Sower, The (after Millet). His reading favors the material.
Van Gogh does not reproduce Millet: he moves his figures from the language of printed drawing to that of a lived color.
