This year, we are leaving our series of Daumier's lithographs exhibitions, and we are delighted to present an exhibition in line with this year's cultural season theme at Auvers: "The 70 days of Vincent in Auvers"
We started from the main element which linked Vincent Van Gogh to the Daubigny's family, I mean a painting Vincent was naming as "One of my most desired canvas". I'm talking about "Le Jardin de Daubigny", that Vincent wanted to give to Charles François Daubigny's widow. This is the garden of Daubigny's house, close to the station, where Marie Sophie was living.
This exhibition is not only a matter of showing a print of this painting, and the corresponding letters. It shows how Vincent was mentioning Daubigny in his extensive correspondence he mainly had with his brother, Theo, and with his friends. We are exhibiting works from Daubigny Vincent talked about, as well as quotations from Van Gogh related to Daubigny and we are telling few anectotes taken out of the family's circle for the occasion.
