Today, the works of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) are among the most
well known and celebrated in the world. In paintings such as
Sunflowers, The Starry Night, and Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear,
we recognize an artist uniquely dexterous in the representation of
texture and mood, light and place. Yet in his lifetime, van Gogh
battled not only the disinterest of his contemporary audience but
also devastating bouts of mental illness. His episodes of
depression and anxiety would eventually claim his life, when, in
1890, he committed suicide shortly after his 37th birthday. This
comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh offers a complete catalogue
of his 871 paintings, alongside writings and essays, charting the
life and work of a master who continues to tower over art to this
day.
