and the Seasons

The Vincent Van Gogh Atlas

BY NIENKE DENEKAMP, RENE VAN BLERK AND TEIO MEEDENDORP

This exciting publication familiarises readers of all ages with the many fascinating facets of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) - artist, correspondent, traveller, and modern explorer of Europe’s cities and countryside. Thanks to Van Gogh’s wanderlust and the rapid expansion of the railway system in Europe in the late 19th century, Van Gogh covered thousands of miles in his lifetime. He lived and worked in more than twenty locations, from the peaceful countryside of the Netherlands and the south of France to the hustle and bustle of big cities such as London and Paris. Authors Nienke Denekamp and Rene van Blerk trace the artist’s route across Europe “from Z to A”. 400 colour and 70 black and white illustrations.

Van Gogh: Up Close

BY CORNELIA HOMBURG

This sumptuously illustrated book offers a completely new way of looking at the art of Vincent van Gogh, by exploring the artist’s approach to nature through his innovative use of the close-up view. Focusing on the last years of the artist’s career from 1886 until his death in July 1890, an international team of leading scholars in the field examines Van Gogh’s radical approach to the close-up and sets it in the context of contemporary and historical references, such as his hitherto unrecognised use of photography and his fascination with the Old Masters and with Japanese art and culture. One hundred key paintings dating from his arrival in Paris in 1886 to the end of his career show how Van Gogh experimented with unusual visual angles and the decorative use of colour, cropping, and the flattening of his compositions.

Van Gogh and Nature

BY RICHARD KENDALL, SJRAAR VAN HEUGTEN AND CHRIS STOLWIJK

The celebrated painter Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) had a lifelong fascination with the natural world. He spent his youth in rural Holland, and the country’s flat landscapes, trees, flowers, and birds would feature in his early art. After he moved to Paris, he encountered new radical thinking about art and humans’ changing relationship with nature. Later, in Provence and Auvers, he discovered unfamiliar terrain, flora, and fauna that further influenced his artistic ideas and subject matter. Van Gogh and Nature is an eye-opening new catalogue that chronicles the artist’s ongoing relationship with nature throughout his entire career.

Van GoghMunch : Van Gogh

BY MAGNE BRUTEIG, MAITE VAN DIJK AND LEO JANSEN

The work and artistic ambitions of Edvard Munch and Vincent van Gogh show interesting parallels. They are known for their emotionally imbued paintings and drawings, their personal and innovative style and their tormented lives. Both strived to modernise art and developed expressive imagery to portray the universal emotions of human life. In Munch: Van Gogh, these similarities are focused on for the first time. This publication studies the essence of their art, their artistic ambitions, the development in their style and technique and the influences to which they were subjected, and clearly shows why these artists are so often mentioned in one breath. With over one hundred art works - including various iconic masterpieces - the two artists are brought together on a large scale for the first time. 170 colour illustrations.

The Van Gogh: The Birth of an Artist

BY SJRAAR VAN HEUGTEN

In 1878, at age 25, Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) arrived in the area of Belgium known as the Borinage to work as a protestant evangelist in rural coal mining communities. He failed in that vocation, and after months of soul-searching, in August 1880, he decided to become an artist. This fascinating publication is the first to examine Van Gogh’s time in the Borinage and his artistic development in the following years, when he created his first original works.

Van Gogh Repetitions

BY ELIZA RATHBONE, WILLIAM H ROBINSON, STEELE ELIZABETH AND MARCIA STEELE

Popular perceptions of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) frequently envision the painter working before nature in an intense frenzy, yet the artists method was often controlled and deliberate. Van Gogh Repetitions is the first book to focus on the artists repetitions, a term he used to describe his process of producing more than one version of a composition. In this groundbreaking and beautifully illustrated book, a series of essays considers the many unresolved issues and controversies surrounding the repetitions, including their origins, development, and meaning in Van Goghs art. Technical and analytical examinations provide new insights into the artists working methods and approach to the creative process.
