We are thrilled to announce the release of the latest collection by one of the world’s most famous art forgers, John Myatt.
With this collection of seven limited edition canvases, John pays homage to one of the world’s most beloved painters; the unmistakable, extraordinary Vincent Van Gogh. Drawing inspiration from the dazzling skies, the intimate street scenes and the simple pleasure Van Gogh found in painting the natural world around him, John has delivered a body of work that demonstrates not only his technical skill in mimicry, but his unique ability to inhabit the world of the artist he mimics.
IN THE MIND OF THE MASTER…
Reading his letters and studying the paintings it becomes clear that Vincent was a highly intelligent and sophisticated man. He could speak and read at least three European languages, and was searching for a certain ful lment in painting to which every art student could relate and understand.
The letters that Vincent left behind outline his work ethic and his on-going battle with depression and mental health, as well as his love for life and colour. He struggled hugely in a way that every artist and creative soul can understand and relate to personally. The more you read about Vincent’s life, the better, although conversely, the more you read the more confusing it becomes. He was undoubtedly a dif cult and troubled man, but one who ultimately sought companionship and love above all else. He really only ever found both in his relationship with his brother, Theo.
Luckily his letters outline in detail what he was attempting in several of his works, what colours inspired him and what subjects he found most appealing. It becomes possible to summon up a mood of the man himself if you read the letters and study
the corresponding works carefully.
