"During his brief and troubled life, Vincent van Gogh completed more than 800 paintings that reflect his obsession with fathoming the depths of nature and capturing all its facets on canvas - an obsession that would take him to the very limits of his physical and mental powers. Today, his paintings are among the most recognizable images in art and reach record prices at auction." "I, van Gogh offers an in-depth look at the life and work of the visionary artist, immersing the reader into the time and place in which the artist painted. In addition, excerpts from van Gogh's correspondence with his brother, Theo, provide a deeper understanding of his inspirations and emotions and well as a fascinating insight into his own paintings."--BOOK JACKET.Kuhl, Isabel is the author of 'I, Van Gogh ', published 2005 under ISBN 9783791333939 and ISBN 3791333933.
