Van Gogh Waterscapes (Illustrated) (Affordable Portable Art)

- Digitally restored illustrations- Translated captions- AnnotatedVincent Van Gogh's short art career provided the world with unparalleled paintings from a troubled genius. It was to be an age of post-Impressionistic color, form and wonderment that the art world discovered only after the master's death. Bouts of anxiety, mental illness and epilepsy may have tormented him and brought about his suicide at the age of 37. But they may also have been catalysts for an emotionality and vibrance in his art that reveals a turbulent search for grace. In his portrayal of bodies of water we often see the same texturized and swirled vision famously presented in the skies of his last years.This volume displays Van Gogh waterscapes in a digitally restored state: their eye-popping brilliance and vitality are just as on the day Vincent Van Gogh finished them. Unless otherwise noted, they were originally oil paintings on canvas or wood. The arrangement is chronological within each category.Technical Note: All but two of these images are in color -- they render beautifully in optimized gray-scale tones for black-and-white e-book readers, but exhibit even more stunningly in full color with color readers and inside Kindle apps for color-enabled computers and portable or hand-held devices.Waterscapes include:OCEANS, HARBORS AND BOATSScheveningen in Stormy Weather, 1882The Shore at Scheveningen during a Calm, 1882The Quay at Antwerp with Ships, 1885Fishing Boats on the Shore at Saintes-Maries, 1888Fishing Boats on the Shore at Saintes-Maries (Reed Pen), 1888Fishing Boats at Saintes-Maries, 1888Fishing Boats off Saintes-Maries, 1888RIVERS, WATERWAYS AND BRIDGESRiverscape with Rowboats on the Shore, 1887Fisherman in Boat at Pont Clichy, 1887Riverbank along the Seine, 1887Banks of the Seine at Pont Clichy in Spring, 1887Walking along the Banks of the Seine, 1887The Seine near Pont de Clichy, 1887Seine Bridge at Asnières, 1887Seine at the Pont de la Grande Jatte, 1887Bath Boat at Asnières, 1887Seine Bank at Pont de Clichy, 1887Bridge of Langlois at Arles with Women Washing I, 1888Bridge of Langlois at Arles, 1888Bridge of Langlois at Arles (Pen and Reed Pen), 1888Pont de Gleize at Arles, 1888Bridge of Langlois at Arles and Lady with Parasol, 1888Bridge of Langlois at Arles with Women Washing II, 1888Bridge of Langlois at Arles with Women Washing (Watercolor), 1888Pont de Triquetaille, 1888Canal “La Roubine du Roi” With Women Washing, 1888Rhone Barques, 1888Coal Barges, 1888Dock Workers at Arles, 1888Starry Night over the Rhone, 1888On the Banks of the Oise near Auvers, 1890 Read more
