Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) became a symbol of modern, international art after his death, particularly in Germany, where his influence was profound. Artists like Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and the members of Die Brücke were captivated by van Gogh’s powerful brushwork and vibrant colors. They appreciated his dynamic palette and technique. Similarly, Vasily Kandinsky and the Der Blaue Reiter group admired van Gogh for his ability to transcend visible reality and capture the essence of nature. Austrian artists Egon Schiele and Oscar Kokoschka were drawn to the emotional depth and psychological insight present in van Gogh’s portraits. Jill Lloyd, an expert on Expressionism, explores van Gogh’s lasting impact on Expressionist art in Germany and Austria, using key works by both van Gogh and Expressionist artists. Lloyd has curated numerous exhibitions on twentieth-century art and authored significant publications on German Expressionism, earning the National Art Book Prize in 1991 for her work on the subject. The exhibition schedule includes the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and the Neue Galerie in New York.
