As well as many preliminary studies, his drawings include highly ambitious, stand-alone works that testify to his capacity for artistic innovation. This lavish survey of Van Gogh's works on paper brings together around one hundred of the finest and most important drawings of his entire oeuvre, offering intriguing new insights into the artist's development." "Van Gogh focused almost exclusively on drawing at the beginning of his artistic career. Even when his attention turned more towards painting, from around 1884, drawing remained a passion. While living in Arles in 1888 he created some extraordinary drawings of the Provencal landscape in reed pen, while later, at Saint-Remy and Auvers-sur-Oise, he experimented with rhythm and colour, examples of which are beautifully reproduced here. The book also features a number of paintings in which motifs appear relating to the drawings."--BOOK JACKET.
