Van GoghWhile not a complete biography this beautifully illustrated book includes a chronology of the artist's life and many quotations from his letters and those of Gaugin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and other friends. Each episode in his life is superbly complemented by his contemporary paintings, from the early spell in England, gloomy works back in Holland and emancipation in Paris to the last, amazing pictures from Provence. Published to coincide with the centenary exhibitions in Amsterdam (1990), the author, a distinguished art historian and an authority, on Van Gogh, recounts and illustrates the impassioned life of the man who signed himself simply Vincent. |
