Van Gogh: in 50 works

I'm going to visit the van Gogh exhibition at Tate Britain next month and was keen to do some refresher reading on his work - especially as I haven't look at it in detail since my University days! This is a lovely, concise collection of Vincent van Gogh paintings including one of my absolute favourites 'The Starry Night' . It's one of those books that I can dip in and out of and learn something new each time.

I wonder what he would think about it if he were alive today.

Wanted a book with examples of Van Gogh’s art work as well as background information and description. I wasn’t disappointed , this book was just what I was looking for.

This marvellous book on Vincent van Gogh(1853-90) is a fascinating guide to his life and 50 of his works.After an illuminating introduction on his troubled existence and development as an artist there are 50 beautiful reproductions of his paintings/sketches with accompanying explanations.The book concludes with a bibliography and glossary of artistic terms.John Cauman's 'van Gogh in 50 Works' is an inspiring and enlightening introduction to this famous artist.

Enjoyable range of his marvellous paintings.
