description

Presented here is a comprehensive list of Van Gogh’s paintings executed between 1886 and 1890 in Paris, Arles, Saint-Rémy and Auvers-sur-Oise. The works are reproduced in full colour and appear in related scale to their original size. All owners are registered, beginning with Theo van Gogh or receivers of gifts, and ending with the present owners, if known and willing to be mentioned.

Vincent van Gogh’s tumultuous final years were theclimax of his career as a colourist. In France he reached a sustained height of expression and created a prodigious quantity of work, the importance of which is incontestable. In the landscapes, portraits and still lifes from this periodthe intensity and singularity of vision finds its apotheosis. Presented here is a comprehensive illustrated catalogueof Van Gogh’s paintings executed between 1886 and1890 in Paris, Arles, Saint-Rémy and Auvers-sur-Oise.Each of some 580 works from that time is reproducedin full colour and appears in related scale to its originalsize. All known provenance is given. For the first timethe paintings recorded in early documents like the ‘Andries Bonger Inventory List’ of 1890 and the 1905 Amsterdam Exhibition are fully identified. This book includes a wealth of new information of crucial importance to collectors,dealers, art historians and public institutions, whileproviding an extraordinary visual record of the mostcreative and productive period of Van Gogh’s career.It promises to be one of the most significant and enduring contributions to the understanding of this artist.
