Book Description

Paris, FR: Finest S. A. /Editions Pierre Terrail. Very Good+ with no dust jacket. 2003. Softcover. Excellent condition, with minimal shelf wear. ; 205 pages; Van Gogh was a tormented soul, soft and a rebel at the same time, very much characterized by contrasts, of withdrawals and of intense excitements; Vincent Van Gogh the artist willl live a passionate adventure, one of an "art-possessed" man always on the verge of madness. One has to beware of legends and in Van Gogh's case of romanticized biographies or movies; here, we are talking of a man, of an artist, one of the world's greatest with a tragic destiny, not of a character in a novel; a man, sone of clergyman, obsessed by helping the poverty stricken and the deprived to whom he wishes to unveil the reality of a merciful god. Failure first makes Van Gogh a reporter with a black and grey pencil, of the humble and of their lugubrious settings, then a painter; his works stemmed out of 4 years, between 1886 and 1890. From Holland to Paris where his painting prightened up with impressionistic colours and to Arles where his still mysterious friendship with Gauguin shattered against the most violent of all oppositions. All along the 150 illustrations showcased in this stunning monography by a world renouned art historian, Vincent's life will appear authentic and true to the reader. .
