Starry Night is a fascinating, fully illustrated account of Van
Gogh's time at the asylum in Saint-Remy, during which he created
some of his most iconic pieces of art. Despite the challenges of
ill health and asylum life, Van Gogh continued to produce a series
of masterpieces - cypresses, wheatfields, olive groves and sunsets
during his time there. This fascinating and insightful work from
arts journalist and Van Gogh specialist Martin Bailey examines his
time there, from the struggles that sent him to the asylum, to the
brilliant creative inspiration that he found during his time here.
He wrote very little about the asylum in letters to his brother
Theo, so this book sets out to give an impression of daily life
behind the walls of the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole and looks
at Van Gogh through fresh eyes, with newly discovered material. An
essential insight into the mind of a flawed genius, Starry Night is
indispensable for those who wish to understand the life of one of
the most talented and brilliant artists to have put paintbrush to
canvas.
