˗ˏˋ The Bedroom — 1889 ´ˎ˗

"This time it's just simply my bedroom, only here color is to do everything, and giving by its simplification a grander style to things, is to be suggestive here of rest or of sleep in general. In a word, looking at the picture ought to rest the brain, or rather the imagination."

˗ˏˋ Cafe Terrace at Night — 1888 ´ˎ˗

Painted on the street at night, Van Gogh recreated the setting directly from his observations, a practice inherited from the Impressionists. However, unlike the Impressionists, he did not record the scene merely as his eye observed it, but imbued the image with a spiritual and psychological tone that echoed his individual and personal reaction.

˗ˏˋ The Courtesan — 1887 ´ˎ˗

During his stay in Paris, Van Gogh encountered various artistic styles, including Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints. These prints did not become available in the West until the mid-19th century. Van Gogh collected the works of Japanese ukiyo-e masters such as Hiroshige and Hokusai, and argued that these works were as important as those of European artists such as Rubens and Rembrandt. Fan He Van Gogh took inspiration to create this particular painting from a reproduction of an engraving by Eisen Keisai, published in May 1886 on the cover of Illustre magazine in Paris.
