Light Impressions - 01 Impressions
Let’s begin our tour with a tribute to an artist who is categorised as Post-Impressionist and is considered the founder of modern painting: Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853 - 1890). His paintings - alongside those of other Impressionist painters – had always fascinated the artist. The artist must have remembered the Potato Eaters and the Station Waiting Room, as well as some other painting that he had attributed to Vincent van Gogh, when he was sitting with the landlord and a guest late at night in the Hotel Kasserolle in Siegburg.
Everything began with an art lesson at school and a painting that the artist found more than reprehensible at the time: Édouard Manet's Breakfast. Since then, he has loved the Impressionists and enjoys spending time at the Place du Tertre. Breakfast has become one of his favourite paintings.
The impressionism he created with light became a catchword for this museum.
It is not only the association with the pictures that makes the artist think of Vincent. Vincent is also the transition to modernity – and modern in the eyes of the artist is photography with the transformation of the image into a painting, which he may attribute to Impressionism or Post-Impressionism itself. These are pictures that go inwards and yet find their special expression from within.
