2017 Journey to the sun

JOURNEY TO THE SUN
Journey to the sun is an abstraction of the route Vincent van Gogh has traveled his life. The journey starts in Zundert and ends in Auvers-sur-Oise. It is inspired by one of his most important texts, his philosophy about death. In my opinion the moment when he started thinking about suicide. He was just 4,5 month in Arles. He wrote this text in a letter on 9 or 10 july in 1888 to his brother Theo:

'But the sight of the stars always makes me dream in as simple a way as the black spots on the map, representing towns and villages, make me dream. Why, I say to myself, should the spots of light in the firmament be less accessible to us than the black spots on the map of France. Just as we take the train to go to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to go to a star. What’s certainly true in this argument is that while alive, we cannot go to a star, any more than once dead we’d be able to take the train. So it seems to me not impossible that cholera, kidney stones, consumption, cancer are celestial means of locomotion, just as steamboats, omnibuses and the railway are terrestrial ones. To die peacefully of old age would be to go there on foot'.

VAN GOGH INTERPRETATION BY ARTIST PETRA HART
The publication 'In the footsteps of Vincent' is part of the artwork 'The journey to the sun' and serves not only as a (travel) pocketbook, it is also a reminder for myself and a precursor to the 'Vincent van Gogh interpretation by artist Petra Hart' where I show how Vincent worked towards his death. In fact ... he painted it in widescreen. After reading the Van Gogh Letters in May 2017, the interpretation arose. I use his written letters and the corresponding paintings. Vincent did commit suicide.
