Arranged by theme - from drawings of humble harvesters to beautifully rendered depictions of landscape, pensive life studies to memorable sketches of the famous Yellow House in Arles and other places - Van Gogh's works on paper are explored from a fresh perspective by art historian Christopher Lloyd, who records the artist's successes, failures, experiments, trials and disappointments. Primarily self-taught, Van Gogh approached drawing instinctually, but soon recognized the importance of mastering the grammar of art - anatomy, modelling, foreshortening, perspective - as well as materials and techniques, in order to convey his emotional responses to a subject as vividly as possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Using examples from the artist's voluminous and highly charged family correspondence, sketchbooks, as well as comparative artworks by Rembrandt, Durer and others, the resulting overview gives us a greater understanding of why drawing is so important within Van Gogh's unique oeuvre and equals the intensity and reputation of his paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christopher Lloyd","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50223299002611,"sku":"9780500031391","price":54.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9780500031391.jpg?v=1786089088","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/the-drawings-of-vincent-van-gogh-christopher-lloyd-9780500031391","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
