Description

Vincent van Gogh's iconic cypress trees have become synonymous with his unique style. This publication offers a fresh perspective on their creation, tracing the artist's journey from initial investigations to the realization of their full evocative potential. The book delves into Van Gogh's inspired response to the flamelike evergreens as they gained prominence in his works and artistic thinking during his time in southern France. A technical study focuses on two celebrated works from 1889, providing insight into the artist's creative process. Images and excerpts from 19th-century poetry, novels, and travel writing are featured, many translated into English for the first time. This compilation offers a unique look at the visual and literary heritage of the cypresses, adding depth to our understanding of Van Gogh's artistic vision.
