This boxed 2-volume set includes the complete paintings of Vincent van Gogh, reproduced wherever possible in full-color. The paintings are arranged in chronological order, with occasional departures for technical or aesthetic reasons. The text, which is also chronologically ordered, traces van Gogh's own via dolorosa, filled with terrible loneliness and studded with fits of madness--the tragic life of an outsider, an isolated genius at odds with society.
