the life and work of Vincent van Gogh in just 50 minutes with this
straightforward and engaging guide!

Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch artist who was active during the late 19th
century. The primary subjects of his work were landscapes and the realities of
rural life, and his paintings often reflected his own state of mind through
the use of vibrant colours and curved lines. Van Gogh was an extremely
prolific painter and produced around 900 paintings in his lifetime, most of
which were completed in his final two years of life. However, it is believed
that he only sold one painting during his lifetime, as his unconventional
style did not become popular until after his death. Today, his most famous
works include The Starry Night and The Sunflowers, and his work is credited
with inspiring several later artistic movements, including Fauvism and
Expressionism.

In this book, you will learn about:

•The artistic and cultural trends that influenced Van Gogh’s work, including
Impressionism, Naturalism and Japonism
•Van Gogh’s most famous works, including masterpieces such as The Starry Night
and The Potato Eaters

Expressionism
