Vincent van Gogh · August 1888 · Arles
Two worn work shoes are placed on the tiled floor of the Yellow House; Van Gogh treats their folds, laces and soles like the features of a faceless portrait.
Look at the work
Both shoes are seen from above. The one on the left opens backwards, while the one on the right has its wide tip and raised tongue. The untied laces cross the composition in flexible lines.
The pink, beige and gray tiles are painted in large oblique rectangles. A shadow of small blue hatching extends behind the right shoe and anchors the pair to the floor.
The Metropolitan Museum locates this still life in Arles and recognizes in the background the tiled floor of the Yellow House. The shoes were sometimes compared to the peasant Patience Staircase, painted by Van Gogh during the same summer, but their owner remains uncertain.
Composition, touch and color
The current Met notice gives 45.7 × 55.2 cm and the 1992.374 inventory; F461/JH1569 distinguishes this Arlesian pair from shoes painted in Paris.
Folds, stitching, warped leather and thick soles suggest a long history of use without showing who wore them.
The high point of view brings the shoes closer to the viewer and transforms the tiles into an almost abstract background.
Ocher, olive, red, blue and black build leather. Shoes are never reduced to a uniform brown.
Documented benchmarks
Van Gogh had already painted several pairs of shoes in Paris; this work is his singular return to the motif during the Arles period.
The Met brings the painted floor here closer to that visible in other views of the house occupied by Van Gogh in Arles.
The shoes may have belonged to Patience Escalier or Van Gogh himself; no identification is certain.
The Metropolitan Museum purchased the work in 1992 with a donation from the Annenberg Foundation.
Your reproduction
The copy must regain the heaviness of the soles, the free laces, the folds of the leather and the temperature differences between the tiles.
