Vincent van Gogh. Les chemins du soleil (1853-1890) (PocheCouleur No. 23) (French Edition)

Vincent Van Gogh began painting at the age of twenty-seven. In the ten short years that remained of his life, he created over one hundred and eight paintings, and just as many drawings. He worked at painting, as one might enter a religious order; driven by an intense inner calling. Van Gogh's correspondence reveals that he was erudite and of a surprisingly acute spirit. In 1886 he arrived with his dark palette in Paris. That same year La Grande Jatte was painted with the influence of Impressionism.
