Today, the works of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) are among the most well known and celebrated in the world. In paintings such as Sunflowers , The Starry Night , and Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear , we recognize an artist uniquely dexterous in the representation of texture and mood, light and place . Yet in his lifetime, van Gogh battled not only the disinterest of his contemporary audience but also devastating bouts of mental illness . His episodes of depression and anxiety would eventually claim his life, when, in 1890, he committed suicide shortly after his 37th birthday. This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh offers a complete catalogue of his 871 paintings , alongside writings and essays , charting the life and work of a master who continues to tower over art to this day.

Invaluable! (just don't overpay with a reseller)
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)

Small, but complete, and good quality prints.
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.

Magnificent book.
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.
