Publisher Notes
People are captivated by Vincent van Gogh and his art--the intense colors and passionate brush strokes that characterize his paintings and the extreme emotions that controlled his life. Combining biography, art, and travel, In the Footsteps of van Gogh focuses on the landscapes and towns that were immortalized in the paintings of this remarkable artist. In addition to Provence, the book takes us to Holland where van Gogh was born and first began his artistic career, and to Paris, where he lived for a short time. This guided tour of the artist's life, travels, and art is wonderfully revealed in the 140 color illustrations that capture the spirit and scenery of these fascinating regions immortalized by van Gogh. Captions throughout include excerpts from the famous letters to Theo, van Gogh's brother. There are also names and addresses of hotels and restaurants in Provence, Holland, and Paris for those who wish to leave their armchairs and seek out the land that inspired this great artist's work. Here is the perfect book for van Gogh enthusiasts, art lovers, and those who love the beauty of Holland and France.
