When Van Gogh first visited Arles in Provence, he was stunned by the light, the landscape and the myriad shades of colour. He returned later and remained there until his death.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Van Gogh (illustrator). 1st. Cloth, 271 pages, illustrations (some colour); 29 cm.

Dust jacket, with light edgewear, protected in a mylar cover. *** "Van Gogh in Arles documents the first major exhibition devoted to the fifteen-month period in 1888-1889 that the Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh worked in the ancient Proven al town of Arles in the South of France. His move from Paris to the Midi gave rise to bold experimentation in the use of color and to explorations of style and subject matter. The paintings and drawings he created during this time--of which more than 140 have been assembled from public and private collections for the exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art--mark the height of his artistic development and a turning point in the course of nineteenth-century Western art. It was during these fifteen months that van Gogh executed his famous paintings series--wheat fields, sowers, and orchards in bloom. The moving portraits of the Arl sienne Mme Ginoux and of the postman Roulin, his wife ('La Berceuse'), and their family also date from this period, as do the intimate paintings of van Gogh's bedroom in the Yellow House and the study of his wooden chair. A group of self-portraits reflects the artist's changing moods and appearance during these feverish months of work. The volume opens with a prologue comprising five works painted during the months van Gogh worked in Paris prior to his departure for the South. It is followed by five sections that retrace his encounter with the town of Arles, its environs (Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Montmajour, and the Crau), and the people of the region. The chronological format leads the reader through the seasons of the year: the flowering orchards of spring, summer seascapes, autumn gardens. The significance of the two-month period--October to December 1888--during which Paul Gauguin lived and worked with van Gogh is documented by major examples of the work of both artists. The exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum reunites for the first time since they left van Gogh's studio in the Yellow House multiple versions of many key subjects. It also brings together related studies and paintings and groups of drawings that the artist sent to his brother Theo in Paris and to his artist-friends mile Bernard and John Russell." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Director's Foreword; Acknowledgments; Lenders to the Exhibition; Map of Arles; Introduction: Van Gogh in Arles; Catalogue; Explanatory Notes; Paris Prologue; I.

Seller: Catterson Vintage Books, Clinton, NY, U.S.A.
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Van Gogh (illustrator). 1st Edition. This book was published in conjunction with the exhibition: "Van Gogh in Arles" held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, from 18 October-30 December, 1984 (and of course is copyright 1984). I was somewhat surprised to find this book because I have seen and indeed, have listed at least two other books about Van Gogh in different places (search Van Gogh among my books and they should show up). This book includes 252 illustrations, of which 166 are in color, a list of works in the catalogue, a selected bibliography, and two appendices. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket shows some edge wear but not much because it is double-edge folded. The hard covers are clean and bright with one tiny blemish on the front board. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages and plates are clean and bright throughout, without toning or foxing. Both hinges are intact and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder. Seller Inventory # 4400
