Vincent van Gogh : a portrait of his life and work
Homburg, Cornelia2019
Books, Manuscripts
Dr Cornelia Homburg explores the life and work of the troubled artistic genius, Vincent can Gogh, brought close to the brink of madness, who left one of the most startling artistic legacies of the late nineteenth century when, in 1890, he took his own life. The book follows the path that led him from his early attempts to forge a career, via his initial foray into the world of art during which he produced his famous earthy portrayals of Dutch peasants, such as The Potato Eaters, to the inspiration of colour and new styles that he discovered in Paris, to the sunlight of Provence with its fierce blues and yellows, and his final days in the village of Auvers-sur-Oise.
