Hippocampus Editions Book Van Gogh The Greatest Art

Irises and sunflowers, sowers at sunset and cornfields dotted with crows, bedrooms distorted by the gaze and night skies swirling with stars.

Captivated by painting and color, Vincent Van Gogh overcame the last boundaries that separated reality and psyche, giving modernity an inescapable style and imagination. Painting for Van Gogh meant immersing himself in the world, accepting never to find himself again.

"When you paint," he wrote to his brother Theo, "you run the risk of sinking. Being a painter is like being a lost sentinel." To tell the story of his art is to tell the story of this loss, a journey that from the mystical fervor of his early years would take him to the streets of London, Antwerp and Paris, to the light-flooded paths of the Midi, to end in Auvers, where Vincent lived his last days marked by solitude, but also by an unparalleled creative intensity.
