Vincent van Gogh Boeken

Catalogus met uitgebreide beschrijvingen van de tentoongestelde schilderijen.

Leven en werk van de Nederlandse kunstenaar Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853-1890).

Shows Van Gogh's sketches of peasants, workers, landscapes, street scenes, and gardens, and includes a brief outline of the artist's life

Classified as a Post-Impressionist, Van Gogh is perhaps one of the world's most famous and instantly recognisable artists. Famous almost as much for his embodiment of a tortured romantic artist as for his bold and usually distorted artworks, his works now fetch some of the highest prices in the world of fine art. This beautifully illustrated and meticulously researched project will be hugely popular as a collector's item for both Van Gogh's established fans and for those wishing to learn about him for the first time. With the inclusion of facsimiles of some 30 documents including Van Gogh's famous private letters, The Treasures of Van Gogh offers a unique insight into his life and works - from his childhood and youth in Zundert in southern Netherlands, the time he spent as a missionary and the gradual decline in his mental health that led him to cut off part of his ear and eventually to commit suicide.

Few artists' letters are as self-revelatory as Vincent van Gogh's. From the humanistic inspiration behind The Potato Eaters to his long-time obsession with painting the vision that eventually became The Starry Night, the letters in this selection paint an intense personal narrative of his artistic development and creative process across the years. They reveal a man of great spiritual and emotional depths who - in his own words - did everything 'for art and for life itself'.

An illustrated guide to the work of Van Gogh. This is one of a series of books featuring the work of famous artists. Other books in the series cover Manet, Matisse, Toulouse-Lautrec and Cezanne.

A brief biography of the nineteenthcentury Dutch Impressionist painter accompanies fifty-nine annotated color plates of his works
