"Published to accompany a major touring exhibition, this book brings together for the first time the great portraits from all periods of the painter's life. The story begins with the relatively unknown body of vivid, carefully executed drawings of orphans and paupers produced in The Hague when he was a young man. It continues with van Gogh's time in Paris, where the influence of Impressionism, Japanese art, and contemporaries like Gauguin and Bernard led him to produce some of his most famous images." "Each work is reproduced and set in context by leading scholars. Individually, their essays focus on particular groups of work, shedding new light on van Gogh's aims and methods. Collectively, they establish the centrality of portraiture to his oeuvre." - Publisher. CONTENTS: Introduction, by George S. Keyes, Joseph J. Rishel, George T.M.

"Essays by, (last name first): Dorn, Roland; Keyes, George S.; Rishel, Joseph J.; Sachs, Katherine; Shackelford, George T.M.; Soth, Lauren; Sund, Judy. A month before his suicide in 1890, Vincent van Gogh wrote to his sister, "What impassions me most - much, much more than all the rest of my metier - is the portrait, the modern portrait." In the course of his short, intense career he revolutionized portrait painting, decisively influencing its course in the twentieth century. Here, for the first time, the great portraits from all stages of van Gogh's life are collected together. The story begins with the extraordinary and relatively unknown body of vivid, carefully executed drawings of paupers and laborers produced in The Hague when he was a young man.

Paperback. Condition: New. First Edition. Exhibition Catalogue Series; Color Illustrations; 9 x 12 x 3/4; 272 pages; Soft cover; exhibition catalogue. Pages are clean and tight, NEW. Inside front cover is a plate, especially made for the art show, by the sponsoring DaimlerChrysler Corporation. Along with book is a sealed CD, made for the show. Features the music of Debussy, Satie, Berlioz, Liszt, and others. This was an amazing show, such a thrill to be surrounded by van Gogh portraits, with their striking colors and lines. "Van Gogh's portraits have been analyzed in books, but the current exhibition brings them together for ready comparison, a first, according to Bogomila Welsh-Ovcharov, a professor of fine art at the University of Toronto. 'What is more contributory and interesting for scholars and connoisseurs is to see them in a new context,' ' she said. With 31 drawings and 36 paintings, the exhibition traces van Gogh's rapid development in capturing faces on canvas. The earliest drawings demonstrate how van Gogh, a disillusioned theology student literally studying how-to books on becoming an artist, produced works of a style and vision that went far beyond the instructions in the manuals. The later paintings show his evolution from realistic representations of the faces of the poor to interpretations of his face and those of friends in his final years, in France". Notes; index.
