Summary:
"Despite his posthumous fame as a painter of flowers, still lifes, gardens, landscapes, and city scenes,
Vincent
van
Gogh
himself believed that his portraits constituted his most important works. Like other post-Impressionists,
Van
Gogh
sought to capture the essential character of his models by means of expressive color and brushwork.
Vincent
's Portraits reflects the strong visual impact with which the artist captured the energy of contemporary life. In this dramatic set of portraits created during
Van
Gogh
's ten-year career, the reader sees his desire to record a number of themes, from the plight of the agricultural workers in his native Brabant and the destitution of prostitutes and their children in urban Europe to the lives of his cosmopolitan acquaintances in Paris, including café owners and art dealers. It was here that he began his remarkable sequence of self- portraits."--From publisher.
