A famous contrarian and anti-establishment figure, now Vincent Van Gogh is truly in with the bricks.
His paintings are sold for nine figures around the world and celebrated by elites, ordinary folk and the world of arts alike.
Vincent’s work has, of course, been reproduced on everything.
From tea-towels to t-shirts, ties to swimming trunks to trousers.
And everything in between.
Ginger genius
And now the Ginger Genius has taken on in a new artistic form.
With a new installation in the definitive Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
Which should be on every visitor’s trip to the great Dutch city along with the Rijksmuseum and Rembrandt’s house.
Where everyone is invited to get in the picture as part of the living structure in the centre of the city.
It was all yellow
The new installation, the Yellow LEGO house, built from 18,109 bricks brings Vincent’s world to life.
Every detail is inspired by Van Gogh’s life in south France.
From his search for purpose to his rise as a master of colour and form.
Flower power
The Van Gogh museum is hosting two special workshops this summer in collaboration with the LEGO Group:
Say It with Flowers
Design your own bouquet and discover the symbolic meaning of flowers across different cultures.
Build & Chat
Explore art and creativity through conversation – while building with LEGO bricks.
And what’s more we can have a permanent installation of our own.
Whether that be in your man cave, or more tastefully placed elsewhere in the home.
Your own Van Gogh
You’ll receive a unique Art Print for free with your purchase of the LEGO Art Sunflowers set from the online shop.
What the Great Man would make of his place in the pantheon or building blocks as an art form.
Van Gogh is truly in with the bricks.
