$10.00
Depicting color was deeply important to post-Impressionist master Vincent van Gogh (1883-1953), whose Starry Night Over the Rhone, and Starry Night was his answer to the challenge of painting at night. Van Gogh, whose work impacted modern Expressionism, Fauvism and early Abstraction, was an astoundingly prolific artist who produced his vast body of work in a mere 10 years, at one point creating 150 paintings and drawings within one year. The night sky, and the effects of light at night, were subjects of many of van Goghs most famous paintings. He also relished painting outdoors, and the uplifting effect nature had upon him fed his creativity. The vantage point he chose for Starry Night Over the Rhone allowed him to capture the glow of gas lighting across the shimming water of the Rhone, as well as illumination from the constellation Ursa Major. Both Starry Night Over the Rhone and Starry Night were significant achievements in capturing the nuances of night colors and shadows, as wel - Vincent Van Gogh AllPosters.com is the world's #1 seller of posters, prints, photographs, specialty products and framed art.

There isn't a phone number or anything other than email to reach them by. Awful Awful Awful experience. Will never buy from Newbury Comics again...........

I have had good experiences with purchasing Taschen's introductory overviews on the various basic genres. I was expecting this book to adhere to the basic pattern: a few pages in the beginning to serve as a larger overview (in this case, a biography), while the rest of the book concentrates specifically on individual pieces of art (reproducing the art work in full on the right hand page, while furnishing a page long analysis on the left).

Unfortunately, that is not the way this work is constructed. It is one long biography with reproductions of art work interspersed here and there throughout the book. That means an art work under discussion in the text is often pages away from where it is being discussed. All the page flipping back and forth to match description with picture is confusing and tiring. One star off for the inconvenience.

Still, this is a highly serviceable introduction for the novice (of which I must count myself). The pictures are reproduced in good quality. The prose is intelligent and erudite, though a bit wordy at points. I walked away having a greater knowledge and appreciation of Van Gogh and his place in art history, and that is really what matters in the end.
