Follow in the footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh, from his birthplace in
Zundert, Netherlands, to his last days in Auvers-sur-Oise, France,
and explore the hidden inspirations behind the world-renowned
artist's most famous paintings in this beautiful art book and
travelogue, illustrated with more than 250 black-and-white and
full-color images throughout. In 1990, two photographers and art
enthusiasts, Danilo De Marco and Mario Dondero, set out to explore
the details of Vincent Van Gogh's life, retracing his journey
across Europe by foot and by train. Armed with the love and
knowledge of Van Gogh's work, they traveled from the Netherlands to
England, Belgium, and France to take in the sights as Van Gogh
might have seen them a century earlier. They also turned to art
historian Gloria Fossi to better understand, experience, and
contextualize Van Gogh's brilliant mind, drawing insights from his
personal letters and other historical documents. Van Gogh's
well-documented travels come alive in this gorgeous book which
brings together the landscapes, architecture, portraits, and
cultural references that inspired his art. The authors juxtapose
vintage and contemporary photographs with Van Gogh's renditions,
demonstrating not only the passage of time, but Van Gogh's unique
artistic vision, brilliantly revealed brushstroke by brushstroke.
From the Netherlands, where the artist was born, to his last days
in France, no place he visited in his 37 years is left unexplored,
and all have become timeless landmarks through his art. In Search
of Van Gogh brings into focus the places and objects that inspired
and fueled Van Gogh's artistic genius and offers fresh insights
into his prolific work and process. In searching for the artist's
mind and soul, the authors create a pointillistic portrait of a
human being whose life was remarkable, and whose story must be
shared for generations to come.
