Van Gogh by Rainer Metzger
Vincent Van Gogh, who followed a variety of professions before becoming an artist, was a solitary, despairing and self-destructive man. This study follows the artist from the early gloom-laden paintings in which he captured the misery of peasants and workers in his home parts, to the work of his final years under a southern sun in Arles.
Rainer Metzger studied art history, history and German studies in Munich and Augsburg. He received his doctorate in 1994, and has worked as a fine arts journalist for the Viennese newspaper Der Standard. He has written numerous books on art, including volumes on van Gogh and Chagall. Ingo F. Walther (1939-2007) was born in Berlin and studied medieval studies, literature, and art history in Frankfurt am Main and Munich. He has published numerous books on the art of the Middle Ages and of the 19th and 20th centuries. Walther's many titles for TASCHEN include Picasso, Art of the 20th Century, and Codices Illustres.
