The story of his thirty seven years of poverty, loneliness and failure is in fact a triumphant saga of absolute dedication and the final realization of genius. This illustrated volume in the hugely popular New Horizons series, includes the story of his life; his relationships with his brother Theo and contemporaries such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Pissarro and Gauguin; his descent into madness and his eventual suicide. As well as the many reproductions of paintings and drawings by Van Gogh and his contemporaries, extensive documentary evidence includes extracts from his letters, critical writings and documentary photographs.

The artistic career of Vincent Van Gogh streaks across the history of modern art like a flashing comet. When Van Gogh arrived in Paris in 1886, at the apogee of the Impressionist revolution, he associated with Pissarro, Cezanne, Signac, Toulouse-Lautrec, Emile Bernard, and explored with them such new forms of painting as divisionism and cloisonnism. But Vincent, fascinated though he was by Gauguin, knew that he carried within himself a message, a genius, that was his alone. He left Paris and in a few years - he was to commit suicide four years later - in Arles, in the psychiatric asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole, near Saint-Remy-de-Provence, and finally at Auvers-sur-Oise, he accomplished his life's immense work.

Rodin’s erotic depictions of women in drawings, sculptures, plasters, bronzes, and marbles The theme of the erotic is ever present in the work of August Rodin, both in his sculptures and in his many drawings. Throughout his career, he depicted sexual desire in all its facets, in every mood from delicate innocence to frank intensity, bearing witness to an endless fascination with the flesh and a love of the female form. Taking a chronological path through Rodin's career, this is an intimate approach to the many faces of sex and sensuality in his body of work and in the society within which his art was forged, from mythological portrayals of passion to the context of contemporary erotic literature. The topics featured include his relationships with women, his friendships with poets and artists, and the controversy that his sculptures caused in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when French society was marked by a hypocritical disparity between public morals and private desires. In a 1916 interview, Rodin spoke out against his "They protest against the immorality of my work, they criticize me for loving women…. But they are incapable of understanding what I do." This witty and insightful book, packed with beautiful images, will shed new light on this intriguing aspect of the artist's world and his skill at capturing the fleeting nature of pleasure in timeless art. 150 color illustrations

Listy wielkiego malarza holenderskiego van Gogha do brata, jego najbliższego przyjaciela, opiekuna i powiernika, to dokument niezwykłej wartości. Twórca, nie doceniany za życia, który nie sprzedał ani jednego obrazu, żyjący w nędzy i naznaczony piętnem szaleństwa, zawsze samotny, zwierza się ze wszystkich swych uczuć i myśli - zarówno wzniosłych, związanych ze sztuką, Bogiem i ludźmi, jak i banalnych, dotyczących spraw życia codziennego. Autentyzm i ciągłość tej korespondencji, prowadzonej od dwudziestego roku życia aż do samobójczej śmierci, składają się na swego rodzaju autobiografię, którą czyta się jak pasjonującą opowieść o tragicznym życiu wybitnego artysty i człowieka wielkiego formatu.

O tout partira... Ces mots qui semblent annoncer une promesse - ou une déconfiture - ne sont rien d'autre que l'anagramme du mot Autoportrait...
