Vincent Van Gogh

Klappentext He did not paint his pictures; it was like he exhaled them in a gasping, boiling breath - Julius Meier- Grae f Van Gogh''s distinctive style of expressive brushstrokes and bold colours is now world famous, but during his lifetime the artist was met with cold disinterest from his contemporaries. This book explores the fascinating life story of this tortured soul, who came late to art and suffered throughout his life from anxiety and depression. It unravels the influences behind his artworks, from the luminous landscapes of the south of France to the Japanese woodblock prints he so admired, and explores how he developed his own unique style. This detailed monograph features Van Gogh''s major works and examines the light they shed on this enigmatic character, serving as a wonderful introduction to one of the best artists of all time. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Great Artists series by Arcturus Publishing introduces some of the most significant artists in history, looking at their lives, techniques and inspirations, as well as presenting a selection of their best work.
