Through Vincent's eyes : van Gogh and his sources
\"Vincent van Gogh's (1853-1890) idiosyncratic style grew out of a deep admiration for and connection to the 19th-century art world. This fresh look at Van Gogh's influences explores the artist's relationship to the Barbizon School painters Jean-François Millet and Georges Michel-Van Gogh's self-proclaimed mentors-as well as to Realists like Jean-François Raffaëlli and Léon Lhermitte. New scholarship offers insights into Van Gogh's emulation of Adolphe Monticelli, his absorption of the Hague School through Anton Mauve and Jozef Israëls, and his keen interest in the work of the Impressionists. This copiously illustrated volume also discusses Van Gogh's allegiance to the colorism of Eugène Delacroix, as well as his alliance with the Realist literature of Charles Dickens and George Eliot\"-- Provided by publisher.

A real van gogh
Vincent van Gogh’s paintings and drawings are fabulously expensive. Millions of people admire his work, but are those masterpieces all genuine? To this day, the international art world struggles to separate the real Van Goghs from the fake ones, and the key question addressed in this book is what may happen to art experts when they publicly voice their opinions on a particular Van Gogh (or not). The story starts with art expert J.B. de la Faille who discovered to his own bewilderment that he had included dozens of fake Van Goghs in his 1928 catalogue raisonné. He wanted to set the record straight, but met with strong resistance from art dealers, collectors, critics, politicians and others, marking the beginning of a fierce clash of interests that had seized the art world for many decades of the twentieth century.

The Letters of Vincent van Gogh: A Critical Study
When he died at the age of thirty-seven, Vincent van Gogh left a legacy of over two thousand artworks, for which he is now justly famous. But van Gogh was also a prodigious writer of letters - more than eight hundred of them, addressed to his parents, to friends such as Paul Gauguin, and, above all, to his brother Theo. His letters have long been admired for their exceptional literary quality, and art historians have sometimes drawn on the letters in their analysis of the paintings. And yet, to date, no one has undertaken a critical assessment of this remarkable body of writingÑnot as a footnote to the paintings but as a highly sophisticated literary achievement in its own right. Patrick Grant's long-awaited study provides such an assessment and, as such, redresses a significant omission in the field of van Gogh studies. As Grant demonstrates, quite apart from furnishing a highly revealing self-portrait of their author, the letters are compelling for their imaginative and expressive power, as well as for the perceptive commentary they offer on universal human themes. Through a subtle exploration of van Gogh's contrastive style of thinking and his fascination with the notion of imperfection, Grant illuminates gradual shifts in van Gogh's ideas on religion, ethics, and the meaning of art. He also analyzes the metaphorical significance of a number of key images in the letters, which prove to yield unexpected psychological and conceptual connections, and probes the relationships that surface when the letters are viewed as a cohesive literary product. The result is a wealth of new insights into van Gogh's inner landscape.

Van Gogh, peintre de la folie
Décryptez l'art de Van Gogh en moins d'une heure! Personnalité fragile, Van Gogh est le premier artiste à puiser son inspiration dans les méandres de son esprit torturé. Son instabilité mentale, qui trouve un écho dans la torsion de la ligne ou dans la violence des couleurs, est paradoxalement à l'origine d'une œuvre d'une puissance extraordinaire. Dans une conception de l'art où esprit et matière ne font plus qu'un, le tableau capture la psyché de l'artiste, devenant ainsi, en quelque sorte, son manifeste. Ce livre vous permettra d'en savoir plus sur:
- Le contexte socio-politique et culturel dans lequel Van Gogh s'inscrit
- La vie du peintre et son parcours
- Les caractéristiques et spécificités de son art
- Une sélection d'œuvres-clés de Van Gogh
- L'impact de l'artiste dans l'histoire de l'art Le mot de l'éditeur:
« Dans ce numéro de la série \"50MINUTES | Artistes\", Eliane Reynold de Seresin passe en revue les moments-clés du parcours de Vincent Van Gogh, sans oublier d'évoquer sa fragilité mentale, qui aboutira à son suicide et fera de lui un artiste maudit. Quant à son œuvre, l'auteure nous en fournit un bel aperçu en analysant, entre autres, Les Mangeurs de pommes-de-terre, les célèbres Tournesols ou encore Nuit étoilée. De quoi mieux appréhender les caractéristiques d'une production qui n'a cessé d'évoluer au fil du temps. »
