Van Gogh. The Complete Paintings

The books is absolutely fantastic

Perfect book!

If you can only get one Van Gogh book for whatever reason try to make it this one. It's a reasonable size, fantastic price and incredible production quality! You won't find those 3 selling points together ANYWHERE ELSE! If you need a painting is here conveniently cross-referenced with the other 2 main catalogues (de la Faille's and Jan Hulsker's) A comprehensive biographical overview of his years as an artist, also here along with a full chronology and an extensive bibliography about Vincent. All the important paintings are given a full page or a 2 page spreads if their dimensions require it, and except for a few of the earlier works and the B&W old photos of the woks in private collections they are printed in superb definition where every stroke and gesture of the paint is captured. My only complaint is that I personally prefer the self-portrait used on the French version of the dust jacket with the yellow spine. And yes! This is a heavy book! Shorter than an average magazine but wider and definitely ticker! But still I would recommend this size over the smaller Biblioheca Universalis edition with Starry Night on the dust jacket (the size of the Klimt in the last 2 pictures)

It is thick and small, but it has the Master painter's complete works, with high quality reproductions of his work. The price was excellent. I wish they made a larger version. I would pay the extra for that, but this is a great reference.

love it ,love it, love it.

They do not make such magnificent books any more. The colour of prints, the excellent write-ups, a complete collection of paintings by Van Gogh - my grand daughter is into Van Gogh oil.paintings.
