Many of the world's greatest painters were landscape painters first and foremost They responded strongly to particular locations, be they rural, mountain, river, coastal, or domestic This book investigates the links between Van Gogh and the world around him, and in reviewing the paintings in terms of his response to particular scenes, both takes озеяд us on a tour through the artist's life, and provides an invaluable perspective on his achievement Van Gogh's travels from his native Holland took him to Paris, to London, and into rural France, and finally to Aries In the course of an increasingly tragic life, he developed an intensity of expression, to which the modern generation has responded in a very personal way Van Gogh's own dislocation mirrors the dislocation many feel in our own time, and his broad brush, strong colours, and broadly etched vision have a continuing appeal to urban generations seeking to regain a foothold in the countryside Whether it be people, sunflowers, crows over a cornfield, or the garden of his last home at Aries, Van Gogh's images haunt the viewer Many are well-known, but can nevertheless be returned to again and again without losing their appeal - the final, truest measure of Van Gogh's greatness Издание на английском языке Иллюстрации Автор Denis Thomas Denis Thomas.  В настоящееИздательство: Regency House Publishing Limited, 1994 г Суперобложка, 80 стр ISBN 0-7858-0107-3.
