How van Gogh Influenced-and was Influenced by-the Art of Drawing

摘要

While Rembrandt Delacroix, and Daumier had a great impact on him, others, such as Matisse and Klee, were early beneficiaries of his example. Vincent van gogh cultivated a large appetite for pictures and developed a very broad knowledge of art. While working as a young art dealer in The Hague, Paris, and London between 1869-76, as well as in Amsterdam, where he was training to be a preacher between 1877-78, Van Gogh took every op-portunity he could to visit museums and galleries and acquaint himself with the works of old masters and his contemporaries. Many of these artists particularly Rembrandt van Rijn, Eugene Delacroix, Jean-Francois Millet, Honore Daumier, and the Japanese masters of ukiyo-e had a resounding impact on his choice of subject matter and the evolution of his extraordinary drawing style while others, like Henri Matisse and Paul Klee, were early beneficiaries of his example.
