The drawings of Vincent van Gogh

Uittreksel

"A compelling and authoritative overview of the drawings of Vincent van Gogh, one of the most celebrated and intriguing figures in the history of art. Vincent van Gogh's (1853-1890) drawings are some of the most familiar and expressive in the history of art. Vincent van Gogh believed that drawing was the 'root of everything'. This was reflected in the remarkable number of more than a thousand graphic works produced by the artist during his short, dramatic life - many of them personal, often lonely explorations of the emerging modern world, anxieties that still speak to us today" -- From publisher's website.
