A nice discussion of various paintings of the immortal painter Vincent van Gogh.
You can find a discussion of the very famous Sunflowers, The Cafe Terrace at Night, The Starry Night, and The Bedroom in the book. You would like the pictures of Gauguin's Chair and Van Gogh's Chair.
Disappointed at not seeing a picture of the Blossoming Almond Tree in the book.
Here's a summary of van Gogh's paintings.
1. They're filled with bold colour and vivid pattern.
2. He placed contemporary colours next to one another to increase their power.
3. He laid down thick layers of paint.
4. He created shadows and reflections with a combination of colors, not just with black.
5. His brushstrokes are vigorous and form strong patterns.
6. Van Gogh outlined his figures and make them stand out against the background.
