1886 -1890 · prints, framing and dream Provence
Oiran, Père Tanguy, Langlois bridge and Arlésienne show four relationships of Van Gogh in Japan: copy, displayed collection, transposed landscape and figure constructed by flat areas.
Van Gogh massively discovered Japanese prints in Paris, collected them and exhibited them with his brother Theo. Japanese: Oiran enlarges a figure taken from a print by Keisai Eisen and surrounds it with an invented border where frogs and cranes play on French words linked to prostitution. The Portrait of Father Tanguy places the color merchant in front of a wall of ukiyo-e: the European model and Japanese images share the surface without deep perspective. HAS Arles, Van Gogh hopes to find a "Southern Japan" in Provençal clarity; the Langlois bridge combines clean drawing, water and washerwomen with this imagination. The Arlesienne finally uses outline, flat areas and simplified decor without imitating a print precise. Influence is therefore a method of framing and color, not a simple exoticism. The selection "Van Gogh and Japan" notably compares Japonnerie: Oiran and Portrait of Father Tanguy. His reading favors color.
Van Gogh does not seek to paint like an identified Japanese artist: he uses prints to unlearn certain European habits.
