Book Description
- Digitally restored illustrations- Translated captions- AnnotatedVincent Van Gogh often depicted individual trees, orchards, arboretums, parks, forests and groves through the skilled prism of his own unique vision, from rectory gardens and wooded areas of his native Holland to the parks and gardens of Paris and finally to the various fruit trees, cypresses, willows, pine trees, poplars and olive groves of Southern France where he spent his last years. In some of his finest work, the branches and leaves of cypress and other trees take on the swirling effect mirrored in the trademark Van Gogh sky. 1888 and 1889 were peak years for his tree paintings.Vincent Van Gogh's short art career provided the world with unparalleled paintings from a troubled genius. It was to be an age of post-Impressionistic color, form and wonderment that the art world discovered only after the master's death. Bouts of anxiety, mental illness and epilepsy may have tormented him and brought about his suicide at the age of 37. But they may also have been catalysts for an emotionality and vibrance in his art that reveals a turbulent search for grace.This volume displays 50 examples of Van Gogh's finest tree art in a digitally restored state: their eye-popping brilliance and vitality are just as on the day Vincent Van Gogh finished them. Unless otherwise noted, they were originally oil paintings on canvas or wood. The arrangement is chronological within each category.Tree images include: Girl in the Forest, 1882Poplars in Autumn, 1884Rectory Garden of Nuenen in the Snow, 1885Jardin de Luxembourg, 1886Walkers in the Bois de Boulogne, 1886Park at Asnieres in the Spring, 1887Forest Path, 1887Underbrush, 1887Orchard with Flowering Apricot Trees, 1888Flowering Peach Tree (Souvenirs of Mauve), 1888Blue Train, 1888Flowering Orchard I, 1888Flowering Fruit Orchard Surrounded by Cypresses, 1888Orchard with Flowering Peach Trees, 1888Flowering Orchard II, 1888Flowering Pear Tree, 1888Flowering Plum Tree, 1888Meadow with Weeping Willow, 1888Rocky Hill with Oak, 1888Park Clearing (Garden of the Poet), 1888Entrance to the Park at Arles with Walkers, 1888Trunk of an Old Yew Tree, 1888Willow Trees at Sunset, 1888Les Alycamps Avenue in Arles, 1888Les Alycamps Avenue in Arles II, 1888Flowering Orchard with View of Arles, 1889Path with Trimmed Willows, 1889Cypress Trees with Two Female Figures, 1889Cypresses, 1889Olive Grove I, 1889Olive Trees at Les Alpilles, 1889Underbrush with Ivy, 1889Entrance to a Quarry, 1889Wheat Field with Cypresses, 1889Olive Trees, 1889Two Poplars on a Path through the Hills, 1889Mulberry Tree, 1889Pine Trees at Sunset with Female Figure, 1889Landscape with Trees and Figures, 1889Olive Grove II, 1889Olive Grove III, 1889Olive Trees with Yellow Sky and Sun, 1889Olive Trees on a Hill, 1889Street Workers on Boulevard Victor Hugo in St. Rémy, 1889Olive Grove with Figures Harvesting, 1889Garden of St. Paul Hospital in St. Rémy, 1890Flowering Meadow with Trees and Dandelions, 1890Cypress Path under Starry Skies, 1890Garden of Dr. Gachet in Auvers, 1890Flowering Chestnut Trees, 1890

Book Description
This ground-breaking book presents a critical study of pictorial narrative in nineteenth-century European painting. Covering works from France, Germany, Britain, Italy and elsewhere, it traces the ways in which immensely popular artists like Jean-Léon Gérôme, Karl von Piloty and William Quiller Orchardson used unique visual strategies to tell thrilling and engaging stories. Regardless of genre, content or national context, these paintings share a fundamental modern narrative mode. Unlike traditional art, they do not rely on textual sources; nor do they tell stories through the human body alone. Instead, they experiment with objects, spaces, cause-and-effect relations and open-ended ambiguity, prompting viewers and reviewers to read for clues in order to weave their own elaborate tales.

Book Description
A new look at the ways van Gogh represented the seasons and the natural world throughout his career The changing seasons captivated Vincent van Gogh (1853–90), who saw in their unending cycle the majesty of nature and the existence of a higher force. Van Gogh and the Seasons is the first book to explore this central aspect of van Gogh's life and work. Van Gogh often linked the seasons to rural life and labor as men and women worked the land throughout the year. From his depictions of peasants and sowers to winter gardens, riverbanks, orchards, and harvests, he painted scenes that richly evoke the sensory pleasures and deprivations particular to each season. This stunning book brings to life the locales that defined his tumultuous career, from Arles, where he experienced his most crucial period of creativity, to Auvers-sur-Oise, where he committed suicide. It looks at van Gogh's interpretation of nature, the religious implications of the seasons in his time, and how his art was perceived against the backdrop of various symbolist factions, antimaterialist debates, and esoteric beliefs in fin de siècle Paris. The book also features revealing extracts from the artist's correspondence and artworks from his own collection that provide essential context to the themes in his work. Breathtakingly illustrated and featuring informative essays by Sjraar van Heugten, Joan Greer, and Ted Gott, Van Gogh and the Seasons shines new light on the extraordinary creative vision of one of the world's most beloved artists.

Book Description
Starry Night is a fully illustrated account of Van Gogh's time at the asylum in Saint-Remy. Despite the challenges of ill health and asylum life, Van Gogh continued to produce a series of masterpieces – cypresses, wheatfields, olive groves and sunsets. He wrote very little about the asylum in letters to his brother Theo, so this book sets out to give an impression of daily life behind the walls of the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole and looks at Van Gogh through fresh eyes, with newly discovered material.

Book Description
"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 unrecognized 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 color, cropping, and the flattening of his compositions"--Provided by publisher.

Gay men and straight women have been confidants for millennia; but some boundaries are not to be crossed, no matter how inebriated. While Drank Myself Straight is loaded with salacious circumstances and comical anecdotes, it also includes poignant observations about acceptance and homosexuality in the Deep South.

Book Description
The work and artistic ambitions of Edvard Munch (1863-1944) and Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) 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 modernize 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. The exhibition studies the essence of their art, their artistic ambitions, the development in their style and technique and the influences to which they were subjected. This shows why these artists are so often mentioned in one breath. With over one hundred art works including various iconic masterpieces and special artworks which are rarely loaned out ; the two artists are brought together on a large scale for the first time. Exhibition: Munch Museet, Oslo, Norway (5.-9.2015) / Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, the Netherlands (24.9.2015-17.1.2016)
