Samenvatting
Around 1900 the Amsterdam insurance broker Andries Bonger (1860-1936), best friend and brother-in-law of Theo van Gogh, put together an imposing collection of art, among which were works by Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and, in particular, by Odilon Redon and Émile Bernard. The Dutch state acquired a major part of the collection in 1997 and these were housed on permanent loan at the Amsterdam Van Gogh Museum. The book focuses on Bonger’s collecting career, which was remarkable for its time. In barely fifteen years this ‘progressive friend of art’ was able to acquire dozens of art objects through his personal contacts with artists. In 1907 he felt his collection was complete and withdrew from active participation in the art world. Only an occasional person was granted access to his closely guarded world and able to cast a glance over his extraordinary collection. This was and remained a hidden treasure trove which was renowned among the chosen few. In this book all the works from the original collection are shown together for the first time. |
