L'esilio di Van Gogh è un viaggio all'interno del cuore e della psiche dell'artista. Nasce riadattando i momenti salienti della sua estrema emotività, la stessa che concede in sprazzi di vita epistolari indirizzati al fratello Thèo. Tra difficoltà economiche e il cuore infranto dalla solitudine, abbiamo una visione chiara della sua sofferenza, matrice del lavoro di ogni genio. Diceva di sé stesso: "Vorrei che chi guarda i miei quadri pensi: quest'uomo sente immensamente."

Qui, nel 1941, un anno prima di uccidersi, scrive "Il mondo di ieri", un'elegia dell’Europa che è scomparsa con la Prima guerra mondiale - il composito Impero asburgico, il fermento culturale di Vienna, Berlino e Parigi - e di quella cosmopolita e in pace che si pensava in costruzione negli anni '20 ma disintegrata dal fascismo e il nazismo.

Alles begann am 8. Januar 2018. Ich bin in Salzburg/Österreich aus dem Zug gestiegen. Mit wedelnden, selbstgestrickten Socken, befestigt an der Halterung für ein Selfie vom Handy, erahnte ich zwischen den Menschenmassen, meine Kontaktperson. Warum Socken fragst du dich? Weil ich immer eiskalte Hände und Füße bekomme, wenn ich aufgeregt bin. Das wusste er, denn ich hatte es ihm geschrieben. Er ist ein Berater von einer neuen Technologie, einer neuen Methode der Lichttherapie, die schon lange in den USA, der Schweiz und Österreich nachweislich erfolgreich angewendet wird.

Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) was proud to call himself an American artist, but he dreamed of travel to Europe, believing that he would learn more there than in his home state of Maine, or even in New York. His rise to prominence as a specifically American modernist was based largely on the visual influences that he encountered in 1912-15 in the vibrant cities of Paris, Berlin, and Munich, which he then synthesized through a New England perspective.

Cieli, occhi, corvi, girasoli: dovunque giri lo sguardo, Johanna vede dipinti di Van Gogh. Splendono nel buio, la svegliano all'alba; prima del canto degli uccelli, prima dei rumori di Parigi che riparte. La gente non li capisce, non li ama. Li usa come fondi d'armadio, per tappare i buchi del pollaio. Van Gogh si spara al petto e con lui se ne va il fratello Theo, inseparabile anche nella morte Johanna resta sola con un piccolino nella culla: si chiama Vincent come suo zio. Lui e i dipinti illuminano il nero che l'ha avvolta.

The result of that pursuit is a remarkable journey through major European cities and across continents. As Ferris takes a keen analytical eye to the paintings, each piece brings new revelations about Bruegel’s art, and gives way to meditations on mortality, fatherhood, and life.
