This sumptuously illustrated book offers a completely new way of looking at the art of Vincent van Gogh, by exploring the artist's approach to nature through his innovative use of the close-up view. Focusing on the last years of the artist's career - from 1886 until his death in July 1890 - an international team of leading scholars in the field examines Van Gogh's radical approach to the close-up and sets it in the context of contemporary and historical references, such as his hitherto unrecognized use of photography and his fascination with the Old Masters and with Japanese art and culture.
One hundred key paintings dating from his arrival in Paris in 1886 to the end of his career show how Van Gogh experimented with unusual visual angles and the decorative use of color, cropping, and the flattening of his compositions. In some paintings he zoomed in on a tuft of grass or a single budding iris, while depicting shifting views of a field or garden in others. VAN GOGH: UP CLOSE not only reveals how these paintings became the most radical and innovative in the artist's body of work but also demonstrates that, far from being a spontaneous or undisciplined artist, Van Gogh was well aware of the history of art and was highly conscious of his efforts to break new ground with his work.

Винсент ван Гог - страдающий гений эпохи конца XIX века, подошедший к самой грани безумия. В 1890 году он покончил жизнь самоубийством, оставив после себя величайшее художественное наследие. В книге "Сокровища Ван Гога" прослеживается творческий путь художника от самых первых шагов, когда он самоучкой ворвался в мир искусства со своими мрачными ранними портретами крестьян - такими как "Едоки картофеля", - до вдохновенной палитры и нового стиля, обретенного им в Париже в конце 80-х годов, и от солнца Прованса с его неистовой желто-синей гаммой до голубых и зеленых оттенков работ, написанных в деревушке Овер-сюр-Уаз, где прошли последние дни…

"German Art Now" focuses on the group of artists who defined the German response to their country's destruction, division and reconstruction after World War II. Beginning with Joseph Beuys and continuing with Georg Baselitz, Jorg Immendorf, Anselm Kiefer, Markus Lupertz, A.R. Penck, Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter, it features those artists who, through their work, have confronted issues of national identity, defeat and recovery, mythology and the burdens of history, and the responsibilities of art in society.
Bernd and Hilla Becher taught a generation of German photographers whose monumental presentations and technical prowess convey both the ambiguities of subject-matter and the ambitions of the medium. Andreas Gursky, Candida Hofer, Thomas Ruff and Thomas Struth are internationally recognized artists whose works are included in the permanent collections and major exhibitions of contemporary art in Europe and the United States.
This book focuses on pivotal works by these fourteen German artists who first came to recognition in the 1960s and 1970s, and who, with the exception of Joseph Beuys (who died in 1986), continue to create compelling art. "German Art Now" illustrates the amazing range and powerful aesthetic that they defined.
