Today, the works of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) are among the best known and most celebrated in the world. In paintings such as Sunflowers, The Starry Night and Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, we recognize an artist who uniquely depicts texture and mood, light and place.
Yet during his lifetime, van Gogh fought not only the disinterest of his contemporary audience, but also devastating attacks of mental illness. His episodes of depression and anxiety would eventually cost him his life, when he committed suicide in 1890, shortly after his 37th birthday.
This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh offers a complete catalog of his 871 paintings, in addition to writings and essays, charting the life and work of a master who still towers over art today.
