Vincent van Gogh becomes only 37 years old. Only the last 10 years
of his life he is engaged in painting. Restlessly and exhausting he
travels through the Netherlands, Belgium, Great Britain and France.
Together with his colleagues Cezanne, Toulouse-Lautrec and Gauguin
he is regarded today as one of the most important artists of the
expressionism movement. This comic guide, written and drawn by
Willi Bloss, catches the main marks of the master's life and refers
optically to the unerring style that van Gogh used for his sketches
Modernism is usually thought of as a shock wave of innovations
hitting art, architecture, music, cinema and literature - the work
of Picasso, Joyce, Schoenberg, movements like Futurism and Dada,
the architecture of Le Corbusier, T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland and
the avant-garde theatre of Bertolt Brecht or Samuel Beckett. But
what really defines modernism? Why did it begin and how long did it
last? Is Modernism over now? Chris Rodriguez and Chris Garratt's
brilliant graphic guide is a brilliant exploration of the last
century's most thrilling artistic work - and what it's really all
about.
