Photography Book
Photographer Karin Borghouts followed the path of Vincent van Gogh, from his Dutch birthplace in Zundert to Auvers-sur-Oise in France where he took his own life. No less than thirteen locations, including Nuenen, Drenthe, Paris, Arles and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence are portrayed in magnificent images. She has also reconstructed more of 30 of his still lifes and photographed them.

Quote
“Karin Borghouts has her own highly personal take on Van Gogh’s work. Going beyond a thorough knowledge of his œuvre, she has visited the places where he lived and worked. That is where she took the photographs that evoke Van Gogh’s work but whose original compositions and use of colour are also marked by a powerful style that is empathically her own.”
Sjraar van Heugten
Art historian and curator, former head of Collections Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam
