Book Description

ISBN-10: 050020232X | ISBN-13: 978-0500202326 | Publication Date: April 1989

Van Gogh, the painter whose work was one of the major inspirations for twentieth-century art, is given a fresh and thorough appraisal in this comprehensive new study. Placing the artist in the context of his time, Melissa McQuillan looks at the influences on his life and work and discusses his paintings in depth. The author argues that Van Gogh's works were products of his deliberate engagement with contemporary artistic questions and of his experience as an art dealer. His subsequent reputation, the mythology that grew up after his death, the debates between naturalism and modernity and the social implications of Van Gogh's imagery are studied in full in this lucid account of an artist who sold only one painting during his lifetime but whose works now command the highest prices in the world. 168 illus., 25 in color.

Art Lady (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Van Gogh (World of Art) (Paperback)

Vincent Van Gogh: A Self-Portrait in Art and Letters It's a used copy but, other than lots of underlining, in great condition. Seller kept me informed about shipping and sent it quickly.
