Vincent van Gogh Libros
30 de marzo de 1853 – 29 de julio de 1890
Vincent van Gogh consideraba el color como el principal símbolo de expresión. Sus primeras obras holandesas tienen tonos sombríos con iluminación nítida, mientras que en París descubrió el impresionismo y comenzó a usar una paleta más clara y pinceladas más cortas. Su arte se caracteriza por una pincelada apasionada, un color simbólico e intenso, y el movimiento de la forma y la línea. Van Gogh estaba completamente absorto en el esfuerzo por explicar su lucha contra la locura o su comprensión de la esencia espiritual del hombre y la naturaleza.
Shows Van Gogh's sketches of peasants, workers, landscapes, street scenes, and gardens, and includes a brief outline of the artist's life

Classified as a Post-Impressionist, Van Gogh is perhaps one of the world's most famous and instantly recognisable artists. Famous almost as much for his embodiment of a tortured romantic artist as for his bold and usually distorted artworks, his works now fetch some of the highest prices in the world of fine art. This beautifully illustrated and meticulously researched project will be hugely popular as a collector's item for both Van Gogh's established fans and for those wishing to learn about him for the first time. With the inclusion of facsimiles of some 30 documents including Van Gogh's famous private letters, The Treasures of Van Gogh offers a unique insight into his life and works - from his childhood and youth in Zundert in southern Netherlands, the time he spent as a missionary and the gradual decline in his mental health that led him to cut off part of his ear and eventually to commit suicide.

This book focuses for the first time on the relationship between drawing and painting in Van Gogh's Art. Includes 50 paintings and 120 major watercolours and drawings by Van Gogh.
This is a very useful book. If you are interested only in the reproductions (good drawings as well as paintings), you will enjoy their high quality--and the breadth of Vincent's work that they cover. If you are interested in primary resources about van Gogh's life--newspaper articles; letters and reminiscences from friends, fellow artists, relatives--this volume is a real treasure. Between the excellent reproductions and the extraordinarily fine collection of biographical materials, this must be the best one-volume source on van Gogh. A great shame that it is out of print.
