Vincent van Gogh: paintings, watercolors and drawings

This catalogue was published in 1962 by the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam to accompany a significant retrospective exhibition of Vincent van Gogh's work. The text was curated by Vincent W. van Gogh, the nephew of the artist and son of Theo van Gogh, who dedicated much of his life to preserving his uncle’s legacy and overseeing the collection that would eventually form the basis of the Van Gogh Museum.

The publication serves as a comprehensive record of the museum's holdings during the mid-twentieth century, capturing a period when scholarship on the artist was transitioning toward more systematic cataloging. The design reflects the mid-century aesthetic of European institutional publications, favoring clean, academic presentation that prioritizes the visual documentation of paintings, watercolors, and drawings over elaborate narrative interpretation, reflecting the era's focus on objective art historical survey.
