Van Gogh in Auvers : his last days
This volume presents the work of Dutch post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890). In the last seventy days of his life, van Gogh experienced an unprecedented burst of creativity. He painted at least one canvas per day, often more, and wrote dozens of eloquent, personal letters to family, fellow artists, and friends. This volume gathers all that he produced during these last few months and presents it in a day-by-day chronology that reveals his intense focus on the continuing development of his signature artistic method as well as his innermost thoughts and concerns. The full complexity of van Gogh's personality, emotions, and relationships is presented here through reproductions of historical documents, letters, and color plates of over seventy paintings, each of which is also accompanied by commentary from the author
