About Zadkine's Van Gogh marchant à travers champs

Ossip Zadkine's artistic engagement with Vincent van Gogh is profound and multifaceted, reflecting a deep admiration for the Dutch painter's life and work. Between 1955 and 1964, Zadkine created several sculptures and busts that interpret Van Gogh's essence, often blending abstraction with emotional intensity.

Zadkine's works on Van Gogh are characterised by their expressive forms and emotional resonance. He did not aim for realistic likenesses but instead focused on capturing the essence of Van Gogh's spirit and his relationship with his brother. These sculptures are displayed in various locations, including Zundert and Auvers-sur-Oise.
