Kindred Spirits || Ep. 02 Buddha || Correspondence || ENG & NL Subs Available ||

A friend of the brothers Vincent and Theo Van Gogh, Andries Bonger, assembled an impressive collection of artworks by Odilon Redon. A collection that resulted from the intimate friendship of an artist and a collector.

Andries Bonger (1861-1936) was a Dutch collector and a good friend of the brothers Vincent and Theo van Gogh. Andries was also the brother of Theo’s wife Jo Bonger, who later managed the Van Gogh collection and as such, is part of the very beginnings of the Van Gogh Museum.

Andries Bonger and Odilon Redon wrote each other hundreds of letters in which they shared their thoughts on Redon’s work and Bonger’s collection. The exhibition Andries Bonger and Odilon Redon. Kindred Spirits reveals this personal exchange between artist and collector using quotes from their infinitely rich correspondence. Also on display are over 30 exquisite works by Redon from Bonger’s collection, which are now part of the Van Gogh Museum collection.
