Vincent van Gogh

by Vincent van Gogh, Victoria Charles

Overview

Incarnation du mythe de l’artiste maudit, Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) est devenu une référence de l’art contemporain. Expressionniste pendant le courant postimpressioniste, son art fut incompris tout au long de sa vie. Vincent van Gogh réalisa plus de 2000 œuvres mais n’en vendra qu’une seule tout au long de sa vie. Peintre autodidacte, sa peinture est reconnue pour sa beauté à la fois sensible et âpre. Il est aujourd’hui l’un des artistes les plus en vogue sur le marché de l’art

About the Author

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) wrote more than 900 letters throughout his life. He believed that writing was an art equal to painting, and placed his utmost care in expressing himself finely, with words which reflected his convoluted personal feelings. These letters, written mostly to his brother, Theo, but also to friends and his sister, Wil, offer a penetrating and comprehensive insight into the life of van Gogh not only as an artist, but also as a multi-faceted character. They serve as the most solid illustration of the development of his oeuvre.
