Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Carol Zemels insightful reinterpretation of Van Goghs work and career, the artist is seen as a determined modern professional instead of the tortured romantic hero that legend has given us. Zemels fresh approach emphasizes the utopian idealism that infused both Van Goghs life and his pictures. She looks at the artists career from 1882 to 1890 through six utopian projects or professional schemes, each embodying a specific societal crisis for Van Goghs generation: women and sexuality, the rural artisan, republican citizenry, professional identity, the burgeoning art market, and the construction of a modern rural ideal. Zemel reveals how each endeavor, as Van Gogh treated it, offered a vision of utopian possibility. She also analyzes broader historical problems encountered by all avantgarde artists of the late nineteenth century.Zemel carefully examines Van Goghs letters and work and also draws from municipal archives, local histories, nineteenthcentury literature, and contemporaneous criticism. Her handsomely illustrated book, essential reading for art historians and scholars of latenineteenthcentury history and French studies, will also captivate anyone interested in Vincent van Gogh.
