Van Gogh

This boxed 2-volume set includes the complete paintings of Vincent van Gogh, reproduced wherever possible in full-color. The paintings are arranged in chronological order, with occasional departures for technical or aesthetic reasons. The text, which is also chronologically ordered, traces van Gogh's own via dolorosa , filled with terrible loneliness and studded with fits of madness--the tragic life of an outsider, an isolated genius at odds with society.
