Beyond the fact that the final years of Van Gogh’s life were amongst his most prolific, the works he created are also amongst his most personally revealing. ‘It’s a once-in-a-career opportunity to work with a collection that has three works that tell the story of Van Gogh’s mature period in such a beautiful and profound way,’ says Fusco on The Cox Collection: The Story of Impressionism being offered this November at Christie’s.
She continues: ‘The works represent three of the most important places in Van Gogh’s career, and you can see the incredible development of the artist. Meules de blé from 1888 in Arles is very experimental but still naturalistically depicted and coloured, while in Cabanes de bois parmi les oliviers et cyprès from 1889 in Saint-Rémy, the artist is already significantly more expressionistic, and the brushstrokes are gestural and sweeping. By 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, where he painted Jeune homme au bleuet, there is this climax of creativity before he dies. There’s this thick impasto, and if you view the details of this portrait up close, it is basically abstract. This is really the moment that his style crystallised as we know it today.’
