Vincent van Gogh - The Drawings • MET



Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) believed that drawing was “the root of everything.” A self-taught artist, he succeeded, between 1881 and 1890, in developing an inimitable graphic style. This book traces the artist’s successive triumphs as a draftsman, first in the Netherlands and later in France, highlighting the diversity of his technical invention and the striking continuity of his vision. Given the pivotal role drawings played in Van Gogh’s artistic conception and the rich dialectic they enjoyed with his oil paintings, a small selection of related canvases by the artist is also featured.

This beautiful book presents approximately 120 works in charcoal, ink, graphite, watercolor, and diluted oils. The authors explore enduring questions that surround Van Gogh’s drawings, including their manufacture, artistic precedents, and contribution to Modernism. In addition, the text discusses the significance of the artist’s drawing practice to his development as a painter. The essays and entries feature the most current research on Van Gogh’s drawings and provide fresh interpretations of the motivating influences that shaped the artist’s contributions to the history of drawing.

  1. Hello! Thanks a lot for this blog and all of your fascinating sharing. However, I'm experiencing since a few days problems with your links and ulozto.net : their pages just won't open. I've checked on my side, tried to change settings, but still, it doesn't work. It never happened to me before (in years); so, please, did anyone else tell you the same, or is it just me? Thanks again, and a very good evening to you.

    1. Hi, I have downloaded from Ulozto without problems.
      Maybe you have some restriction in your country. Try using the Tor browser, see some YouTube tutorial for its configuration. You can also try downloading with JDownloader.
