Not widely accepted in his lifetime but now one of the most renowned artists in the world, Vincent van Gogh's strident brushwork will be forever admired. An intensely emotional man, he is just as famous for his tormented mind, difficult relationships and inability to settle in one place; but he put this same furious passion into breathing life into his artworks, for which he developed a style of dazzling colours and thick swirling brushstrokes that has remained uniquely his own. This beautiful book explores the background to Van Gogh's life and work, before showcasing the artist's most well-known, stunning and important works in full-page glory, from the dreamlike The Starry Night to the tension-creating perspective of The Bedroom and his iconic series of Sunflowers.
