Book excerpt: Follow in the footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh, from his birthplace in Zundert, Netherlands, to his last days in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, and explore the hidden inspirations behind the world-renowned artist’s most famous paintings in this beautiful art book and travelogue, illustrated with more than 250 black-and-white and full-color images throughout. In 1990, two photographers and art enthusiasts, Danilo De Marco and Mario Dondero, set out to explore the details of Vincent Van Gogh’s life, retracing his journey across Europe by foot and by train. Armed with the love and knowledge of Van Gogh’s work, they traveled from the Netherlands to England, Belgium, and France to take in the sights as Van Gogh might have seen them a century earlier. They also turned to art historian Gloria Fossi to better understand, experience, and contextualize Van Gogh’s brilliant mind, drawing insights from his personal letters and other historical documents. Van Gogh’s well-documented travels come alive in this gorgeous book which brings together the landscapes, architecture, portraits, and cultural references that inspired his art. The authors juxtapose vintage and contemporary photographs with Van Gogh’s renditions, demonstrating not only the passage of time, but Van Gogh’s unique artistic vision, brilliantly revealed brushstroke by brushstroke. From the Netherlands, where the artist was born, to his last days in France, no place he visited in his 37 years is left unexplored, and all have become timeless landmarks through his art. In Search of Van Gogh brings into focus the places and objects that inspired and fueled Van Gogh’s artistic genius and offers fresh insights into his prolific work and process. In searching for the artist’s mind and soul, the authors create a pointillistic portrait of a human being whose life was remarkable, and whose story must be shared for generations to come.

Book excerpt: Vincent van Gogh’s life and work are so intertwined that it is hardly possible to observe one without thinking of the other. Van Gogh has indeed become the incarnation of the suffering, misunderstood martyr of modern art, the emblem of the artist as an outsider. An article, published in 1890, gave details about van Gogh’s illness. The author of the article saw the painter as “a terrible and demented genius, often sublime, sometimes grotesque, always at the brink of the pathological.” Very little is known about Vincent’s childhood. At the age of eleven he had to leave “the human nest”, as he called it himself, for various boarding schools. The first portrait shows us van Gogh as an earnest nineteen year old. At that time he had already been at work for three years in The Hague and, later, in London in the gallery Goupil & Co. In 1874 his love for Ursula Loyer ended in disaster and a year later he was transferred to Paris, against his will. After a particularly heated argument during Christmas holidays in 1881, his father, a pastor, ordered Vincent to leave. With this final break, he abandoned his family name and signed his canvases simply “Vincent”. He left for Paris and never returned to Holland. In Paris he came to know Paul Gauguin, whose paintings he greatly admired. The self-portrait was the main subject of Vincent’s work from 1886c88. In February 1888 Vincent left Paris for Arles and tried to persuade Gauguin to join him. The months of waiting for Gauguin were the most productive time in van Gogh’s life. He wanted to show his friend as many pictures as possible and decorate the Yellow House. But Gauguin did not share his views on art and finally returned to Paris. On 7 January, 1889, fourteen days after his famous self-mutilation, Vincent left the hospital where he was convalescing. Although he hoped to recover from and to forget his madness, but he actually came back twice more in the same year. During his last stay in hospital, Vincent painted landscapes in which he recreated the world of his childhood. It is said that Vincent van Gogh shot himself in the side in a field but decided to return to the inn and went to bed. The landlord informed Dr Gachet and his brother Theo, who described the last moments of his life which ended on 29 July, 1890: “I wanted to die. While I was sitting next to him promising that we would try to heal him. [...], he answered, ‘La tristesse durera toujours (The sadness will last forever).’”

Download or read book Van Gogh and the Seasons written by Sjraar van Heugten and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new look at the ways van Gogh represented the seasons and the natural world throughout his career The changing seasons captivated Vincent van Gogh (1853–90), who saw in their unending cycle the majesty of nature and the existence of a higher force. Van Gogh and the Seasons is the first book to explore this central aspect of van Gogh's life and work. Van Gogh often linked the seasons to rural life and labor as men and women worked the land throughout the year. From his depictions of peasants and sowers to winter gardens, riverbanks, orchards, and harvests, he painted scenes that richly evoke the sensory pleasures and deprivations particular to each season. This stunning book brings to life the locales that defined his tumultuous career, from Arles, where he experienced his most crucial period of creativity, to Auvers-sur-Oise, where he committed suicide. It looks at van Gogh's interpretation of nature, the religious implications of the seasons in his time, and how his art was perceived against the backdrop of various symbolist factions, antimaterialist debates, and esoteric beliefs in fin de siècle Paris. The book also features revealing extracts from the artist's correspondence and artworks from his own collection that provide essential context to the themes in his work. Breathtakingly illustrated and featuring informative essays by Sjraar van Heugten, Joan Greer, and Ted Gott, Van Gogh and the Seasons shines new light on the extraordinary creative vision of one of the world's most beloved artists.
Download or read book Van Gogh written by Steven Naifeh and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voici LA grande biographie de Van Gogh, complète, magistrale et définitive, qui, malgré la somme de livres et de films qui lui sont consacrés, se lit avec un plaisir tout neuf. On y retrouve la figure fascinante du peintre maudit à l'oreille coupée, la vie d'écorché vif d'un génie solitaire et incompris, qui mourra à 37 ans d'une balle dans la poitrine. Mais pas seulement, et pas tout de suite : c'est là l'une des grandes qualités du livre. Contrairement à Pialat, par exemple, qui se focalisait sur les derniers mois de la vie du peintre, Naifeh et Smith commencent par le commencement. Sans céder pour autant à l'illusion rétrospective (où l'enfance expliquerait tout), ils nous montrent qui était Vincent avant d'être Van Gogh : le mythe (et le carcan) familial, les années de pensionnat vécues comme un rejet insupportable, la passion et la rivalité envers Theo, la première confrontation au monde de l'art, dans l'atelier de son oncle et la constitution d'un musée imaginaire, l'exil à Londres, la tentation mystique ... La fin du livre a fait " scoop " lors de sa parution, les auteurs remettant en cause la thèse du suicide de l'artiste. Après dix ans de recherches, en un tissage exemplaire de la narration et des citations, des événements et de la psychologie, du contexte historique et d'analyse de tableaux, les auteurs nous ouvrent les clés de la constitution d'une personnalité et d'une œuvre. Quelques grands thèmes prennent tout leur sens : l'abandon, la solitude, l'échec, la recherche éternelle d'une famille, d'une appartenance par Van Gogh, tandis que la disgrâce des siens s'installe et se creuse, les figures du voyageur, du semeur, du fils prodigue ... Les images, d'ailleurs, se superposent à la lecture et l'on garde en tête comme un portrait du peintre pour chaque époque : le gamin revêche, tignasse rousse, souliers défaits et filet de pêche à la main ; le jeune commis élégant et chapeauté, un carton d'estampe sous le bras ; le fou malade, amaigri, asocial de la fin ... Jamais bavard, d'une rigueur et d'une précision absolues, à juste distance du sujet (ni empathie excessive ni froide objectivité), c'est là le formidable récit d'un destin génial et tragique.
