Vincent Van Gogh Masterpieces of Art by Stephanie Cotela Tanner. Hardcover Art Book Page count:128 Published:June 12, 2014 Contributor:Susie Hodge Format:Hardcover Publisher:Flame Tree Publishing Language:English Author:Stephanie Cotela Tanner Part of a new series of beautiful gift art books, Van Gogh Masterpieces of Art features all of the best-known works of one of the most famous artists in the world, preceded by a fresh and thoughtful introduction providing lively commentary on his life, society, places and style and techniques, including the powerful animation of his strident brushwork. "He did not paint his pictures; it was like he exhaled them in a gasping, boiling breath," one German critic aptly wrote of Van Gogh. Reminiscences of the artist by friends and passing acquaintances, letters from his brother Theo and appreciations by critics and artists make up the text of this handsomely packaged potpourri. For Margritte, the blind force of Van Gogh's obsessions made the tortured artist an unfree man. To Kokoschka, the tension in the painter's famous sunflowers and undulating cypresses speak of the fragility of an easygoing lifestyle in a mechanized age. Each artist seems to confront his or her own concerns when analyzing Van Gogh. Jean Renoir, Francoise Gilot, Gauguin and Klee are among the commentators. One hundred twenty-five superior color reproductions and 103 halftones remind us that Van Gogh could do a very formal Still Life with Coffeepot, a street scene ablaze with fauve-like color or the solemn, biblical Raising of Lazarus...

Late Rembrandt by Jonathan Bikker. Published by Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, 2014. 1st English Ed with dust jacket. The city of Amsterdam celebrates its most famous artist with 40 paintings, 20 drawings and 30 prints. Late Rembrandt presents a comprehensive overview of the artist's work between approximately 1652 and his death in 1669. In collaboration with the National Gallery of London, the artworks in the exhibition are on loan from leading international museums and private collections, many of which have been brought together for the first time. Against the backdrop of tragic personal losses and ongoing financial difficulties, Rembrandt began experimenting with printing and painting techniques in the later years of his life, producing some of the most distinctive, innovative and daring works of his career. His global reputation was eventually shaped by the late masterworks such as Self-Portrait with Two Circles (Kenwood House, London), the Family Portrait (Herzog Anton Ulrich-museum, Braunschweig), Jacob Blessing the Sons of Joseph (Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister...
