Van Gogh

More about the book

Van Gogh changed the face of nineteenth-century painting, but tragically his skills were not recognized in his lifetime. Despite a brief career, he was a prolific Post-Impressionist artist of spectacular talent. Van Gogh looks at all aspects of his painting, along with detailed commentary on 120 of his works and additional imagery to highlight comparisons and contrasts in his style. Some of these are considered his most important pieces while others are less well known, but all were central to Van Gogh's philosophical and artistic development.
