Van Gogh Studies I: Current Issues in 19th-Century Art

The Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam), in collaboration with Waanders Publishers
has taken the initiative in publishing a new scholarly series, Van Gogh
Studies. The museum has long provided a stimulus for research into the art
of the period 1830-1914 - with particular emphasis on the life and
work of Vincent van Gogh - out of a conviction that research of the highest
standard is fundamental to the museum's activities, whether they are
directed towards the general public or specialists.

Van Gogh Studies will publish recent, in-depth research of the highest
scholarly standards into Van Gogh and related areas of 19th- and early
20th-century art and culture. The new series will be published annually, as
an anthology of essays alternating with monographic studies.

Van Gogh Studies aims to provide a forum for the expression of the many
diverse, and sometimes contradictory, trends in the study of 19th- and early
20th-century art. The essays will examine the life and work of Vincent van
Gogh and his contemporaries from a variety of perspectives. The
contributions are intended as a vehicle for further scholarly research.
