V archivech lond\u00fdnsk\u00e9 N\u00e1rodn\u00ed portr\u00e9tn\u00ed galerie byl u\u010din\u011bn pozoruhodn\u00fd objev: dosud nezn\u00e1m\u00fd portr\u00e9t Charlese Obacha, vedouc\u00edho lond\u00fdnsk\u00e9 pobo\u010dky galerie Goupil. Tento portr\u00e9t nab\u00edz\u00ed fascinuj\u00edc\u00ed pohled do vztahu mezi Obachem a Vincentem van Goghem, mlad\u00fdm um\u011blcem, jeho\u017e \u017eivot nabral dramatick\u00fd sm\u011br pod Obachov\u00fdm vlivem.<\/p>\n\n
Vincent van Gogh\u016fv opovr\u017een\u00ed v\u016f\u010di fotografii je dob\u0159e zdokumentov\u00e1no. V\u011b\u0159il, \u017ee fotografie zachycuj\u00ed pouze povrchn\u00ed podobu, zat\u00edmco malovan\u00e9 portr\u00e9ty vyjad\u0159uj\u00ed hlub\u0161\u00ed podstatu subjektu. Ironi\u00ed je, \u017ee jedin\u00fdm zn\u00e1m\u00fdm fotografick\u00fdm vyobrazen\u00edm van Gogha jako dosp\u011bl\u00e9ho je portr\u00e9t po\u0159\u00edzen\u00fd v roce 1873 holandsk\u00fdm fotografem Jacobusem de Louwem.<\/p>\n\n
Naproti tomu nov\u011b objeven\u00fd portr\u00e9t Obacha odhaluje sebev\u011bdom\u00e9ho a vyrovnan\u00e9ho mu\u017ee. Jak poznamen\u00e1v\u00e1 odborn\u00edk na um\u011bn\u00ed Martin Bailey, tento portr\u00e9t stoj\u00ed v ostr\u00e9m kontrastu s van Goghov\u00fdm vlastn\u00edm portr\u00e9tem, kter\u00fd zachycuje znepokojen\u00fd v\u00fdraz a rezervovan\u00fd vzhled.<\/p>\n\n
Van Goghova cesta k um\u011bleck\u00e9 velikosti byla v\u0161echno, jen ne konven\u010dn\u00ed. Zpo\u010d\u00e1tku pracoval jako obchodn\u00edk s um\u011bn\u00edm v haagsk\u00e9 pobo\u010dce galerie Goupil, ale jeho nedostatek dovednost\u00ed v jedn\u00e1n\u00ed se z\u00e1kazn\u00edky p\u0159im\u011bl Obacha, aby ho v roce 1873 poslal do lond\u00fdnsk\u00e9 pobo\u010dky.<\/p>\n\n
Zpo\u010d\u00e1tku Obach van Gogha p\u0159iv\u00edtal, dokonce ho pozval na v\u00edkendov\u00fd v\u00fdlet a oslavil s n\u00edm a jeho rodinou V\u00e1noce. Van Goghovo nekonven\u010dn\u00ed chov\u00e1n\u00ed a neschopnost nav\u00e1zat kontakt se z\u00e1kazn\u00edky v\u0161ak nakonec vedly k jeho propu\u0161t\u011bn\u00ed ze spole\u010dnosti Goupil v roce 1876.<\/p>\n\n
P\u0159esto\u017ee byl propu\u0161t\u011bn, van Gogh a Obach z\u016fstali v pom\u011brn\u011b p\u0159\u00e1telsk\u00e9m kontaktu. Bailey poznamen\u00e1v\u00e1, \u017ee se v roce 1881 kr\u00e1tce setkali v Haagu a Obach vyj\u00e1d\u0159il soustrast Theu van Goghovi po Vincentov\u011b smrti v roce 1890.<\/p>\n\n
Ironi\u00ed je, \u017ee Obachovo rozhodnut\u00ed propustit van Gogha ho mohlo ne\u00famysln\u011b nasm\u011brovat k jeho prav\u00e9mu povol\u00e1n\u00ed um\u011blce. Van Goghovy n\u00e1sledn\u00e9 zku\u0161enosti z pr\u00e1ce na intern\u00e1tn\u00ed \u0161kole, v knihkupectv\u00ed a v uheln\u00e9m dole d\u00e1le posilovaly jeho touhu slou\u017eit druh\u00fdm a vyjad\u0159ovat se prost\u0159ednictv\u00edm um\u011bn\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n
Van Goghova v\u00edra v s\u00edlu autoportr\u00e9t\u016f jako prost\u0159edku k zachycen\u00ed vlastn\u00ed skute\u010dn\u00e9 podstaty je patrn\u00e1 v jeho \u010detn\u00fdch autoportr\u00e9tech. Vytvo\u0159il p\u0159es 43 autoportr\u00e9t\u016f v r\u016fzn\u00fdch podob\u00e1ch, zkoumal svou vlastn\u00ed identitu a zpochyb\u0148oval podstatu um\u011bn\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n
V dopise sv\u00e9 sest\u0159e Wilhelmin\u011b van Gogh vyj\u00e1d\u0159il sv\u00e9 p\u0159esv\u011bd\u010den\u00ed, \u017ee malovan\u00e9 portr\u00e9ty vydr\u017e\u00ed d\u00e9le ne\u017e fotografie a zprost\u0159edkuj\u00ed hlub\u0161\u00ed emocion\u00e1ln\u00ed spojen\u00ed. Napsal: “[Fotografovan\u00e9] portr\u00e9ty nejprve vyblednou rychleji ne\u017e my sami, zat\u00edmco malovan\u00fd portr\u00e9t z\u016fst\u00e1v\u00e1 po mnoho generac\u00ed. Nav\u00edc malovan\u00fd portr\u00e9t je v\u011bc\u00ed citu, vyrobenou s l\u00e1skou nebo \u00factou k zobrazovan\u00e9 bytosti.”<\/p>\n\n
Navzdory nesnadn\u00fdm okolnostem jejich vztahu se cesty Obacha a van Gogha propletly zp\u016fsobem, kter\u00fd nav\u017edy ovlivnil sv\u011bt um\u011bn\u00ed. Obachovo propu\u0161t\u011bn\u00ed mohlo b\u00fdt katalyz\u00e1torem, kter\u00fd van Gogha postavil na jeho um\u011bleckou dr\u00e1hu a vedl ho k vytvo\u0159en\u00ed n\u011bkter\u00fdch z nejobl\u00edben\u011bj\u0161\u00edch a nejvlivn\u011bj\u0161\u00edch um\u011bleck\u00fdch d\u011bl v historii.<\/p>\n\n
Objev Obachova portr\u00e9tu p\u0159id\u00e1v\u00e1 novou vrstvu k na\u0161emu ch\u00e1p\u00e1n\u00ed tohoto kl\u00ed\u010dov\u00e9ho vztahu.
