Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The compelling story of how Vincent van Gogh developed his audacious, iconic style by immersing himself in the work of others, featuring hundreds of paintings by Van Gogh as well as the artists who inspired himfrom the New York Times bestselling coauthor of Van Gogh: The LifeImportant . . . inspires us to look at Van Gogh and his art afresh.Dr. Chris Stolwijk, general director, RKDNetherlands Institute for Art HistoryVincent van Goghs paintings look utterly uniquehis vivid palette and boldly interpretive portraits are unmistakably his. Yet however revolutionary his style may have been, it was actually built on a strong foundation of paintings by other artists, both his contemporaries and those who came before him.Now, drawing on Van Goghs own thoughtful and often profound comments about the painters he venerated, Steven Naifeh gives a gripping account of the artists deep engagement with their work. We see Van Goghs gradual discovery of the subjects he would make famous, from wheat fields to sunflowers. We watch him experimenting with the loose brushwork and bright colors used by douard Manet, studying the Pointillist dots used by Georges Seurat, and emulating the powerful depictions of the peasant farmers painted by JeanFranois Millet, all vividly illustrated in nearly three hundred fullcolor images of works by Van Gogh and a variety of other major artists, including Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin, and Henri de ToulouseLautrec, positioned side by side.Thanks to the vast correspondence from Van Gogh to his beloved brother, Theo, Naifeh, a Pulitzer Prize winner, is able to reconstruct Van Goghs artistic world from within. Observed in eloquent prose that is as compelling as it is authoritative, Van Gogh and the Artists He Loved enables us to share the artists journey as he created his own daring, influential, and widely beloved body of work.
