Description & Specifications

An exciting and authentic overview of the drawings of Vincent van Gogh, one of the most celebrated and interesting personalities in the history of art. Vincent van Gogh believed that drawing was the 'root of everything.' This is reflected in the remarkable number of more than a thousand graphic works produced by the artist during his short and dramatic life—many of which are personal, often solitary explorations of the emerging modern world, concerns that still resonate with us today. Vincent van Gogh's Drawings is an extensive account celebrating the courage and distinctiveness of the artist's achievements in this field. Structured thematically—from drawings of humble farmers to beautifully rendered landscapes, contemplative life studies to unforgettable sketches of the famous Yellow House in Arles and other locations—van Gogh's works on paper are explored from a fresh perspective by art historian Christopher Lloyd, who records the artist's successes, failures, experiments, trials, and disappointments. Largely self-taught, van Gogh approached drawing instinctively but soon recognized the importance of understanding the grammar of art—anatomy, modeling, perspective—as well as materials and techniques, in order to capture his emotional responses to a subject as vividly as possible. Using examples from his demanding and intensely charged family correspondence, his sketches, as well as comparative artworks from Rembrandt, Dürer, and others, the resultant overview provides us with a greater understanding of why drawing is so important within van Gogh's unique body of work and as equally powerful and renowned as his paintings.
