Vincent Van Gogh: 1853–1890: Visión y realidad

This boxed 2-volume set includes the complete paintings of Vincent van Gogh, reproduced wherever possible in full-color. The paintings are arranged in chronological order, with occasional departures for technical or aesthetic reasons. The text, which is also chronologically ordered, traces van Gogh's own via dolorosa , filled with terrible loneliness and studded with fits of madness--the tragic life of an outsider, an isolated genius at odds with society. Van Gogh, who took up a variety of professions before becoming an artist, was a solitary, despairing and self-destructive man. This richly illustrated and expert study follows the artist from the early gloom-laden paintings in which he captured the misery of peasants and workers in his homeland, through his bright and colorful Parisian period, to the work of his final years, spent under a southern sun in Arles.
