Talk:A Woman Walking in a Garden

I would like to make this page more robust. I plan to contribute by researching and writing up more information about this paintings history, artistic style and place in Van Gogh's collection. Below are some sources I have come across and that I plan to reference in my entry.

Here is my proposed outline for the page:

Introduction:

Basic overview of the painting including where it was created, what materials it is made from, its dimensions, the basics of what it depicts, and basic information about the artist.

Background/Van Gogh:

VAN GOGH OVERVIEW: Van Gogh’s collection consists of 2,000+ works created over roughly 10 years meaning that his life and background have a strong influence on and importance in his works.

VAN GOGH'S LETTERS: 900 of Van Gogh’s letters have been preserved and have influenced the historiography of his life and the interpretation of his art and artistic influences.

VAN GOGH IN PARIS: Van Gogh moved to Paris in 1886 and spent a lot of time in the surrounding countryside which inspired the subject and influenced the style of many of his paintings from this period, including this particular piece. The brighter colors of this painting reflect the surrounding environment and his adoption of impressionistic elements during his time in Paris can be traced back to some artists he came into contact with at the time.

'''Composition:

' A Woman Walking in A Garden'' depicts a specific historical moment of Van Gogh’s stylistic development which I plan to analyze and explain in this section. The red border of the painting is also significant to its place in the Clichy triptych. I am considering renaming this section ‘influences’ as the significance of this composition mainly lies in its reflection of environmental and artistic influence apparent in the style/work.

Present Day:

A Woman Walking in a Garden does not have much of a history of being displayed since it has long been held in a private collection. Recently, A Woman Walking in a Garden was displayed in two exhibits, "Van Gogh and the Avant-Garde: The Modern Landscape" (May 14, 2023 - Sep 4, 2023) at the Art Institute at Chicago and "Van Gogh Along the Seine" (from October 13, 2023 - January 14, 2024) at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. At these exhibits A Woman Walking in a Garden was reunited with and displayed with the other two works in the Clichy triptych.
