From his depictions of peasants and sowers to winter gardens, riverbanks, orchards, and harvests, he painted scenes that richly evoke the sensory pleasures and deprivations particular to each season. This stunning book brings to life the locales that defined his tumultuous career, from Arles, where he experienced his most crucial period of creativity, to Auvers-sur-Oise, where he committed suicide. It looks at van Gogh's interpretation of nature, the religious implications of the seasons in his time, and how his art was perceived against the backdrop of various symbolist factions, antimaterialist debates, and esoteric beliefs in fin de siècle Paris. The book also features revealing extracts from the artist's correspondence and artworks from his own collection that provide essential context to the themes in his work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBreathtakingly illustrated and featuring informative essays by Sjraar van Heugten, Joan Greer, and Ted Gott, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eVan Gogh and the Seasons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e shines new light on the extraordinary creative vision of one of the world's most beloved artists.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eSjraar van Heugten\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003ePrinceton University Press\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eHardcover, 272 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(179, 179, 179);\"\u003eISBN 9780691179711\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRINCETON UNIVERSITY","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":42761479061739,"sku":"9780691179711","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/1061\/files\/916dwIUHbxL._SL1500.jpg?v=1790283593","url":"https:\/\/store.hammer.ucla.edu\/products\/van-gogh-the-seasons","provider":"Hammer Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
