| ‘The best work of one of the finest draughtsmen who ever lived, often at a scale close to the original … a bargain’ | | – The World of Interiors |

This lavish survey of Van Gogh’s works on paper brings together around one hundred of the finest and most important drawings of his entire œuvre, coaxing intriguing new insights into his development.
Van Gogh focused on drawing at the beginning of his career but even when his attention turned more towards painting drawing remained a passion. As well as many preliminary studies, his drawings include highly ambitious, stand-alone works that testify to his capacity for innovation.
While living in Arles in 1888 he created some extraordinary drawings of the Provençal landscape in reed pen, while later, at Saint-Rémy and Auvers-sur-Oise, he experimented with rhythm and colour, examples of which are beautifully reproduced here. The book also features a number of paintings in which motifs appear relating to the drawings.
