Through the Eyes of Vincent Van Gogh

Description

Following the best-selling Through The Eyes of Leonardo, another visual feast. * A beautiful book full of enthusiastic and scholarly commentary by this strong author. A great appreciation of Van Gogh's Impressionistic and Expressionistic artwork brings it all to life. * The second in a series that will surely become a collectable source for entry-level appreciation. Following his best-selling Through The Eyes of Leonardo, this second book in the series is a delightful and inspiring introduction to, and revelation of, the works of Vincent Van Gogh. Barrington Barber's enthusiastic commentary adds wonderfully to the visual feast. The tragic story of this artist unfolds through his paintings. You can trace his artistic development from his early beginnings where, living and literally starving with his subjects, his work is all the more authentic, to the myriad of later paintings produced when Van Gogh suffered repeated hallucinations and depression.
