Overview
Enter the intensely expressive world of Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), the Dutch Post-Impressionist whose vivid color, energetic brushwork, and emotionally charged images have made him one of the most beloved artists in history. This pocket guide follows his remarkable artistic journey through the Netherlands, Paris, Arles, Saint-Rémy, and Auvers-sur-Oise. Learn what to look for in his rhythmic lines, thickly applied paint, symbolic color, expressive landscapes, intimate portraits, and close observations of ordinary objects. Biographical insights, moving anecdotes, a personal portrait, and memorable quotations drawn from his remarkable correspondence reveal the intelligence and determination behind his art. A spotlight on one acclaimed masterpiece offers a deeper understanding of his technique and emotional vision. With more than 65 full-color reproductions, this beautifully illustrated volume provides an inspiring introduction to an artist whose brief career permanently changed modern painting.
