Ron Dirven, the director and curator of the Vincent van GoghHuis in the Netherlands, aims to keep the spirit of the legendary artist alive by commissioning contemporary artists to create new works that reimagine Vincent van Gogh’s signature motifs.
Several years ago, while working with artist Ruud van Empel on an unrelated project at the Stedelijk Museum Breda, Dirven and Van Empel bonded over their appreciation for Van Gogh, and the idea for “Inventing Van Gogh” was born.
