Posthumous fame of Vincent van Gogh Hommes d’aujourd’hui." Julius Meier-Graefe wrote influentially of Van Gogh, his publications including: "Entwicklungsgeschichte der modernen Kunst" (Stuttgart, 1904 and later Munich 1927), "Über Vincent van Gogh", Sozialistische Monatshefte (February 1906), "Vincent van Gogh" (Munich 1912), and "Van Gogh der Zeichner" (Berlin, 1928, published by Otto Wacker). In the English-speaking world, the Bloomsbury art critics Roger Fry and Clive Bell were his first champions. Fry, in a 1924 essay, "Vincent van Gogh," reported that after Van Gogh's death, he "disappeared" and "scarcely any picture dealer in Bond Street gave him another thought" until the 1910 show titled "Post Impressionist Exhibition" in
Vincent van Gogh (Russell painting) Gauguin", and said it captured one of the Dutchman's quirks: Also in the 1930s, Hartrick created an ink and watercolour sketch of Van Gogh that he likely based on Russell's portrait. Today, specialists agree that Russell's portrait offers the most realistic likeness of Van Gogh. In 2012, Brigitte Banziger and David Hulme argued that, while paintings such as Tom Roberts' "Shearing the Rams" (1890) or Frederick McCubbin's "Down on His Luck" (1889) are often called "Australia's most famous painting", Russell's "Vincent van Gogh" may be more deserving of the title due to its global reputation.
