  19. VINCENT VAN GOGH 1853 - 1890 In a letter to his brother, Theo, Van Gogh wrote: “I had a new idea in my head and here is the sketch to it … this time it’s just simply my bedroom, only here colour 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, to look at the picture ought to rest the brain or rather the imagination. The walls are pale violet. The ground is of red tiles. The wood of the bed and chairs is the yellow of fresh butter, the sheets and pillows very light greenish lemon. The coverlet scarlet. The window green. The toilet-table orange, the basin blue. The doors lilac. And that is all – there is nothing in this room with closed shutters. The broad lines of furniture, again, must express absolute rest. Portraits on the walls, and a mirror and a towel and some clothes. The frame – as there is no white in the picture – will be white. This by way of revenge for the enforced rest I was obliged to take. I shall work it again all day, but you see how simple the conception is. The shading and the cast shadows are suppressed, it is painted in free flat washes like the japanese prints …” POST-IMPRESSIONISM
