This online Van Gogh Museum collection catalogue describes the 36 works by Odilon Redon that once belonged to the Andries Bonger Collection and are now held in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam. The research for this publication was conducted in conjunction with the publication of the annotated correspondence between Redon and Bonger in 2022 (Dario Gamboni and Merel van Tilburg (eds.), ‘Sans adieu’. Andries Bonger – Odilon Redon, correspondance 1894–1916, 2 vols., Paris 2022). The release of this correspondence was marked by the exhibition Andries Bonger and Odilon Redon: Kindred Spirits, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, 29 March–3 July 2022.
Originally published in PDF format in 2022, this publication was incorporated into the Collection Catalogue website in January 2026.
Individual entry pages
The main text is the primary feature of the entry pages. The image of the work is in the upper left and can be enlarged by clicking on it. The image always remains on the screen, even when scrolling down. Located to the right of the text is a side panel, which opens if you click on one of the icons. The side panel lists the object data, the images of the front and back of the work (if applicable), the provenance, the exhibition history, the bibliographical references, the figures and the footnotes. The full contents of the catalogue are shown per entry in the table of contents. The artwork list shows all of the individual works examined in the catalogue, including the recto and verso of double-sided drawings.
The footnotes and supporting figures are clearly indicated in the entry text. Clicking on a footnote will display its contents. If you subsequently click on the pop-up that appears, the list of footnotes opens in the side panel. The supporting figures are displayed if you click on the reference in the pop-up. Clicking on the ‘magnify’ icon will show the enlarged image in the side panel. If the entry text refers to another work in this catalogue, you can click on the title of the work to go directly to the entry in question.
By clicking on the ‘copy citation’ button underneath the entry, you can copy the reference to the entry in Chicago Manual of Style format. Each entry also has a digital object identifier (DOI), so that every entry in this catalogue is recognized as a unique article.
