The career of Vincent Van Gogh (1853-90) as a painter was short, but his paintings revolutionised artistic practice and styles. The intensity of his vision, his wonderful sense of colour and the extraordinary boldness of his technique created masterpieces that exercised a profound influence on the art of the 20th century. They are also enormously popular, and paintings such as 'The Yellow Chair', 'The Drawbridge' and 'The Sower' are among the best-loved images of our time.
Wilhelm Uhde was an outstanding art critic and dealer who was born during Van Gogh's lifetime and witnessed at first hand his rise to fame at the beginning of the 17th century. His masterly essay, in this new revised and expanded edition, was first published in 1937 and remains one of the best introductions to Van Gogh's work.
