The complete van Gogh Vincent van Gogh's story is one of the most ironic in art history. He lived an unhappy and difficult life during which his work received almost no appreciation—finally killing himself by a bullet to the chest, so great was his despair—and is now widely considered one of the most important painters of all time, his works fetching record prices of tens of millions of dollars at auction. This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) represents a rarity in art history: a detailed monograph on his life and art combined with a complete catalogue of his 871 paintings. This volume also reproduces most of van Gogh's paintings in color for the first time.

原文摘录

His paintings are notable for their immediacy,their sensuous impact.They draw their powerfrom the painter's affectionate openness towards all things,towardsMan and Nature.Still,the pleasure that he takes in a veritablynaive identification with the world is continually overshadowed byprofound eschatological intuitions,by apprehensions of transienceand death.The hand that reaches out tenderly is retracted at the lastmoment because it has too often been hurt.There can be no doubt that van Gogh learnt from experience;indeed,his life precludedhim taking a straight and simple course.Yet van Gogh naturallyremained a child of his age.He grew up in a century when peoplefor the first time saw their own existence as everything,with
no transcendental support system-a century that produced many odd... (查看原文)
His art's ability to touch the hem of the Eternal was not the result of any determination to fit romantic images of the Artist;rather,it derived from a profound and genuine longing for the sheltered security of religious faith.He painted his works for the sake of that moment when,through devotion to the tiniest detail,the artist experiences asense of total order:the very small and the omnipotently vast could only be grasped from one and the same standpoint.
