Today, the works of Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) are among the most well known and celebrated in the world. In Sunflowers, The Starry Night, Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, and many paintings and drawings beyond, we recognize an artist uniquely dexterous in the portrayal of mood and place through paint, pencil, charcoal, or chalk.
Yet as he was deploying the lurid colors, emphatic brushwork, and contoured forms that would subsequently make his name, van Gogh battled not only the disinterest of his contemporary audience but also devastating bouts of mental illness. His episodes of depression and anxiety would eventually claim his life, when, in 1890, he committed suicide shortly after his 37th birthday.
This richly illustrated introduction follows Vincent van Gogh’s story from his earliest pictures of peasants and rural workers, through his bright Parisian period, to his final, feverish burst of creative energy in the South of France during the last two and a half years of his life.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Heutzutage gehören die Werke von Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) zu den bekanntesten und teuersten der Welt. Seine Sonnenblumen, Die Sternennacht oder Selbstbildnis mit verbundenem Ohr kennt auch, wer sich sonst nicht für Kunst interessiert. Sie sind tatsächlich Teil des westlichen Bildgedächtnisses geworden. Doch wenn er seine grellen Farben, druckvollen Pinselstriche und klar umrissenen Formen, die später seinen Ruf begründen und Generationen expressionistischer Künstler inspirieren sollten, auf die Leinwand brachte, kämpfte van Gogh nicht nur gegen das Desinteresse seiner Zeitgenossen an, sondern auch gegen innere Dämonen und Anfälle geistiger Verwirrung. Er litt zunehmend unter Depressionen und Angstzuständen und nahm sich 1890, kurz nach seinem 37. Geburtstag, das Leben. Diese Einführung verfolgt Vincent van Goghs Lebenslauf von seinen künstlerischen Anfängen über seine Pariser Periode bis hin zu seinem letzten fieberhaften Energieausbruch in Südfrankreich während der letzten zweieinhalb Jahre seines Lebens.
