Van Gogh. the Complete Paintings
Van Gogh. the Complete Paintings | Ingo F Walther, Rainer Metzger
2 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
Vincent van Gogh's story is one of the most ironic in art history. Today, he is celebrated the world over as one of the most important painters of all time, recognized with sell-out shows, feted museums, and record prices of tens of millions of dollars at auction.Yet as he was painting the canvases that would subsequently become these sell-out modern masterpieces, van Gogh was battling not only the disinterest of his contemporary audiences but also devastating bouts of mental illness, with episodes of depression and paralyzing anxiety which would eventually claim his life in 1890, when he committed suicide shortly after his 37th birthday.This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) pairs a detailed monograph on his life and art with a complete catalogue of his 871 paintings.

Not gonna do the usual type of #bookface because I'm sick right now. I also realized I have few books with faces on them and none that would actually work for a proper #bookface. I think I realized I don't like covers with people on them lol. #readjanuary

Very informative read on the life of Vincent van Gogh. This book features all of his paintings in chronological order, and the reader can see the dramatic difference from his dull paintings to his bright, post-Impressionistic paintings.
