Hardcover. Zustand: VG/VG. Black cloth/boards; silver lettering. Color-pictorial dust jacket. 272 pp. 228 illustrations, 204 in color. Issued in conjunction with a series of 2000-2001 exhibitions of these portraits rendered by Post-Impressionist Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890). "Here, for the first time, the great portraits from all stages of van Gogh's life are collected together. The story begins with the extraordinary and relatively unknown bdy of vivid, carefully executed drawings of paupers and laborers produced in The Hague when he was a young man. It continues with van Gogh's time in Paris, where the influence of Impressionism, Japanese art, and contemporaries such as Paul Gauguin and Emile Bernard led him to produce some of his most famous images. . Each work is beautifully reproduced and set in context by leading scholars. Individually, their essays focus on particular groups of work, shedding new light on van Gogh's aims and methods.

The result is nothing less than a wholly original way of looking at van Gogh -- an unprecedented and wonderfully revealing view of his enduring achievement as an artist.".…

In the course of his short, intense career he revolutionized portrait painting, decisively influencing its course in the twentieth century. Here, for the first time, the great portraits from all stages of van Gogh's life are collected together. The story begins with the extraordinary and relatively unknown body of vivid, carefully executed drawings of paupers and laborers produced in The Hague when he was a young man. It continues with van Gogh's time in Paris, where the influence of Impressionism, Japanese art, and contemporaries such as Paul Gauguin and Emile Bernard led him to produce some of his most famous images: Portrait of Père Tanguy (1887), Self~Portrait with Gray Felt Hat (1887), and Self~Portrait as an Artist (1887~88), to name a few. And it culminates with such penetrating masterpieces as Self~Portrait with Bandaged Ear (1889), Portrait of a Farmer (1889), and Portrait of Dr. Gachet (1890), created in Arles, St.Rémy, and Auvers immediately before and after the artist's devastating final breakdown. Each work is beautifully reproduced and set in context by leading scholars. Individually, their essays focus on particular groups of work, shedding new light on van Gogh's aims and methods. Collectively, they establish the centrality of portraiture to his uvre. The result is nothing less than a wholly original way of looking at van Gogh~ unprecedented and wonderfully revealing view of his enduring achievement as an artist.…
