1909, Leo Gestel, Autumn Day -- Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam)
From the museum label: In 1905 a young generation of Dutch artists became acquainted with Van Gogh's work thanks to a large exhibition in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. This was also an important stimulus for Gestel to develop his own personal expressive style. He worked with short brushstrokes in intense colours that recall Pointillism. However, with the colour and light effects Gestel wanted foremost to evoke emotions, just as Van Gogh did with his landscapes.
