Take in the exquisite masterpieces of the legendary artist, Vincent Van Gogh, with four outstanding books:

Van Gogh's Cypresses

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) immortalized the cypress tree in signature images that have become synonymous with his fiercely original power of expression. This richly illustrated publication illuminates the backstory of his invention for the first time, from his initial investigations of the motif in benchmark drawings from Arles to his realization of their full evocative potential in such iconic canvases as The Starry Night and Wheat Field with Cypresses, painted at the asylum in Saint-Rémy. Susan Alyson Stein retraces the Dutch artist's inspired response to the flamelike evergreens as they gained ground in his works and artistic thinking over the course of his sojourn in the South of France.

Van Gogh draughtsman

This book offers a rare chance to encounter a side of Van Gogh's art that still remains unfamiliar and underappreciated. Illustrated with some of his finest drawings, the text explains how draughtsmanship became an essential part of Van Gogh's artistic activity. From his first hesitant experiments in hybrid techniques through to the breathtaking power of his later compositions in reed pen and ink, drawing was much more than just a medium in which to study, practise and prepare for his paintings. In turn, his drawings were informed by the brilliance and luminosity of his paintings.
