Vincent van Gogh!

Location: Yonge and College /downtown Toronto Cash only; prices are firm. "Vincent van Gogh and his work stand at the beginning of modern art. He is the most popular painter of his period; his pictures, full of colour and intensity, have become the very embodiment of modern painting. Yet he never betrayed the form of his subjects; his paintings express form through colour, creating rhythmical movement and spatial depth, and through their symbolic force he not only appeals to our eyes but also speaks directly to our hearts. Vincent's tragic life, his struggle to reach the summit of artistic achievement, and his profound influence on subsequent generations of artists inspire a lively interest in his historical background. This book provides a selection of his works in full-size colour reproductions, gives an account of his life and times, and includes some of the important drawings, themselves crucial for a fuller understanding of this great artist." - Vincent van Gogh - Per Amann.
