Van Gogh. The Complete Paintings - Ingo F. Walther - książka

Opis

Vincent van Gogh's narrative stands as one of the most poignant and paradoxical within the realm of art history. In contemporary times, his status as a monumental figure in painting is undisputed, with exhibitions dedicated to his work consistently drawing massive audiences, museums worldwide celebrating his legacy, and his paintings fetching tens of millions at auctions.

However, during the very period when van Gogh was creating the works that would eventually become iconic, he faced overwhelming indifference from the public of his time. Coupled with this lack of recognition, he struggled intensely with severe mental health issues, experiencing deep depression and crippling anxiety. These battles proved to be insurmountable, leading to his tragic suicide in 1890, just after he turned 37.

This in-depth exploration of Vincent van Gogh's life (1853-1890) offers a thorough monograph detailing his artistic journey and personal struggles. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive catalog of all 871 of his paintings, presenting a complete picture of his prolific yet turbulent career.
