Van Gogh. Illustrated Biography

All his life, Vincent Van Gogh was considered a failure. But he believed in his destiny and was certain that one day he would burst into the history of art. Drawing and painting were his crossroad, which lasted ten years,... starting from the first awkward sketches and ending with his last masterpieces. Frédéric Pajak tries to follow the trail of the artist's solitary wanderings, which began in his native Holland and ended in Auvers-sur-Oise. In this biography, written and illustrated, the emphasis is placed on episodes that are little known or misinterpreted. Throughout the narrative, a cultured, attentive, free, paradoxical, and sensible man opens up before us, who knew how to depict the wretched wretchedness in order to better express the power of color.
