In Search of Van Gogh: Capturing the Life of the Artist Through Photographs and Paintings

By Gloria Fossi

Art Historian Gloria Fossi teams up with two photographers to recount the physical and mental spaces that inspired Vincent van Gogh's most notable works of art. As Fossi examines his personal and artistic journey, the photographs of Mario Dondero and Danilo De Marco breathe new life into his past. Their search for Van Gogh is thus a retracing of his actual physical path across the lands he once roamed: the Netherlands, Belgium, England, and France. It combines a deep understanding of place and of art with what is known of Van Gogh's feelings and musings on life, art, books, and writers of his time-all of which are available through a vast collection of personal letters to his family and friends, allowing us to see who the real Vincent van Gogh was as a person and an artist like never before.
