by Vincent van Gogh, 1888, reed pen and ink over graphite on wove paper, 12'A x 9Y. Collection Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, New York. Mixing a classical way of describing form in some areas with a type of pointillism, Van Gogh spoke his own language with the marks in this portrait. The traits of the reed pen had an impact on the Dutch artist's drawing styleóthis type of pen held very little ink and thus favored short, blunt strokes. Aside from being the prototypical starving artist, Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was a midwife for the birth of abstract art, as evidenced in his Wild Vegetation. As a painter, he is renowned for his vibrant and bold color, but the risks he took with composition are perhaps equally responsible for his reputation. For drawers, Van Gogh is also important for his mark-making. "Van Gogh developed an incredible vocabulary with the reed pen," says Rubenstein. "He's making up a language, with all these different kinds of marks: dots, dashes, curls, long lines, and short lines. But because he is in such control, it makes sense. He makes rhythms. Nature doesn't have these marks." Comparing Pollard Birches to Wild Vegetation shows the Dutch artist's growth from representational to the almost completely abstract. The transition is on view to a lesser extent in the portrait The Zouave, in which the majority of the face is depicted with a kind of pointillism while specific features, such as the nose, are formed with classical lines. "It's a very person-al language he has come up with," comments Rubenstein. "But the marks themselves become mesmerizing."
