Bohatě ilustrovaná odborná monografie sleduje van Gogha od raných ponurých obrazů, na nichž zachytil bídu dělníků a rolníků ve své vlasti, přes pařížské období naplněné jasnými barvami až k jeho posledním rokům stráveným pod horkým jižním sluncem v Arles. Právě zde konečně objevil světlo, které je hlavním znakem nenapodobitelného van Goghova stylu. V horečnatém výbuchu tvůrčí energie, který poznamenal poslední dva a půl roku jeho života v Arles, Saint-Rémy a Auvers-sur-Oise, vytvořil 465 obrazů, na nichž spočívá jeho nesmrtelnost.

Život a dílo ruského malíře židovského původu. Představitel pařížské školy. V jeho díle je znát poučení analytickým kubismem, orfismem a lidovým uměním. Zobrazoval fantastické výjevy snové atmosféry s prvky z umělcova života a především z ruského folklóru.

The complete van Gogh Vincent van Gogh's story is one of the most ironic in art history. He lived an unhappy and difficult life during which his work received almost no appreciation—finally killing himself by a bullet to the chest, so great was his despair—and is now widely considered one of the most important painters of all time, his works fetching record prices of tens of millions of dollars at auction. This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) represents a rarity in art a detailed monograph on his life and art combined with a complete catalogue of his 871 paintings. This volume also reproduces most of van Gogh's paintings in color for the first time.

Van Gogh, who took up a variety of professions before becoming an artist, was a solitary, despairing and self-destructive man. This richly illustrated and expert study follows the artist from the early gloom-laden paintings in which he captured the misery of peasants and workers in his homeland, through his bright and colorful Parisian period, to the work of his final years, spent under a southern sun in Arles.

A selection of some of the master draftsman's most significant drawings and watercolors includes several of his rarely reproduced erotic works to present a more balanced representation of his oeuvre, in a volume that offers insight into his creative process and motivation.
