Publisher's Synopsis
- Digitally restored illustrations with captions- AnnotatedThis volume displays Van Gogh paintings of buildings -- from farmhouses and cemetery towers to train stations, restaurants, cafés, hospitals, churches, dance halls and more -- 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. These images depict individual buildings, complementing "Van Gogh Townscapes" with its representations of conglomerate settlements and "Van Gogh Interior Design" with images of building interiors, both by the same publisher.Vincent 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.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.Images include: BUILDINGSCarpenter's Workshop, 1882New Church in The Hague, 1882Peasant Homes in Loosduinen near The Hague at Sunrise, 1883Farmhouses, 1883Farmhouse between Trees, 1883Farmhouse with Peat, 1883Old Cemetery Tower in Nuenen with Plowing Farmer, 1884Water Mill at Kollen near Nuenen, 1884Old Cemetery Tower in Nuenen I, 1884Old Cemetery Tower in Nuenen II, 1884Church in Nuenen with Churchgoers, 1884Water Mill at Gennep, 1884Old Cemetery Tower of Nuenen in Snow, 1885Old Train Station at Eindhoven, 1885Thatched Hut at Dusk, 1885Old Cemetery Tower in Nuenen III, 1885Farmhouse with Peasant Woman Digging I, 1885Farmhouse with Peasant Woman Digging II, 1885Farmhouse and Woman with Goat, 1885Farmhouse with Stooping Woman, 1885Farmhouse, 1885The Vicarage in Nuenen, 1885The Vicarage of Nuenen in Moonlight, 1885Moulin de la Galette, 1886Restaurant de la Sirène at Asnières I, 1886Restaurant de la Sirène at Asnières II, 1887Restaurant Rispal at Asnières, 1887Shed in Montmartre with Sunflower, 1887Entrance of Restaurant in Asnières, 1887Mill of Alphonse Daudet at Fontevieille (Water Color & Pen), 1888Old Mill, 1888Yellow House I (Vincent's House, Watercolor & Reed Pen), 1888Yellow House II (Vincent's House), 1888Yellow House III (Vincent's House, Pen & Ink), 1888Evening over Terrace Café at Place du Forum, Arles, 1888Terrace of Café in Arles (Reed Pen), 1888Garden of Hospital in Arles, 1889View of Church Saint-Paul de Mausole, 1889Pine with Figure at St. Paul Hospital, 1889Huts Surrounded by Olive and Cypress Trees, 1889Farmhouses - Remembrance of the North, 1890House of Père Pilon, 1890House of Père Eloi, 1890Church at Auvers, 1890Town Hall in Auvers on 14 July, 1890
