Книга: Vincent van Gogh (Hodge Susie) ; Arcturus, 2020

This introductory series to the great artists of the past 150 years looks at their lives and inspirations, and showcases a selection of their most significant paintings. Van Gogh's distinctive style of expressive brushstrokes and bold colours is now famous worldwide, but during his lifetime his work was not appreciated and he was largely unknown. This book explores the fascinating life story of this tortured soul, who came late to art and suffered throughout his life from insecurity and depression. It unravels the influences behind his artworks, from the luminous landscapes of the south of France to the Japanese woodblock prints he so admired, and explores how he developed his own unique style.
