Product detailed description
Vincent's Books by Mariella Guzzoni examines Van Gogh's personal relationship with literature chapter by chapter: from his reflections on spiritual ministry in early adulthood, through his decision to become a painter, to his final years.
The author shows what ideas Van Gogh found in fiction, monographs, biographies, and museum guides, and how these ideas were reflected in his paintings – books and dreamy readers often appear here as motifs capturing the deep dialogue between art and literature.
This thought-provoking study reveals how Van Gogh followed the latest literary and artistic publications and how quotations from books enabled him to express his own views on reality and faith, in his own words: "Books, reality, and art are of the same kind to me."
